The debate over granting citizenship to children of foreign parents born or raised in Italy, through ius soli or ius scholae, is causing significant tension within Italy's political majority.

Forza Italia has broken ranks with its center-right allies by supporting the ius scholae, a move that has sparked controversy following recent events and achievements by second-generation Italians.

The Lega party strongly opposes this stance, fearing it could incentivize immigration.

Meanwhile, Fratelli d'Italia remains silent, reflecting internal divisions.

Forza Italia plans to discuss the issue further in September, aiming to find common ground with opposition parties.

The debate highlights the broader struggle within the coalition to balance immigration control with integration policies.
