I hope that the provision "on ius soli" can be approved. The choice, politically, is dramatic: do something useful or do something popular, especially in view of the upcoming elections. The doubt is legitimate, but it is the courage to do the right thing that makes the difference between a politician who looks to the future and one who only looks at the polls ”. This was stated, speaking to Camogli, by the President of the Senate Pietro Grasso according to which the bill, if approved, will make "our country stronger and safer". “The provision, now in second reading in the Senate, intends to modify the mechanism that already confers, upon request, citizenship to the children of foreigners born and lived in our territory only at the age of eighteen. Specifically, two other modalities would be introduced - the so-called “Ius soli temperato” and the “Ius culturae” - modifying a law which, at the moment, is among the most restrictive in Europe. We need to clarify ", explains Grasso who emphasizes": "When we talk about" Ius culturae "we mean that girls and boys who have successfully attended a school cycle of at least five years or a course can apply for and obtain citizenship training in Italy. There is even more confusion about the difference between "Ius soli" - never hypothesized for our country - and "Ius soli temperato", which provides that anyone born in our country to foreign parents of which at least one is in possession of the right of permanent residence, if a Community citizen, or a long-term residence permit if a non-EU citizen ". "Whoever talks about giving citizenship is clear that either he does not know or exploit the issue", observes the President of the Senate.
