The debate over granting citizenship to children of immigrants in Italy, known as "ius scholae," has resurfaced with renewed vigor.

Forza Italia's recent support marks a significant shift, challenging longstanding political stalemates.

The proposal suggests granting citizenship to second-generation immigrants who complete a certain level of education in Italy, addressing the current system where they must wait until 18 to apply.

Critics argue that the existing law already makes Italy the leading European country in granting citizenship, as noted by Matteo Salvini of the Lega.

However, proponents like Antonio Tajani emphasize the need for reform to reflect changing societal dynamics and promote integration.

The discussion highlights broader issues of discrimination and integration, with advocates arguing that early naturalization could foster a more inclusive society.

As Italy grapples with low birth rates and economic reliance on immigrants, the outcome of this debate could have significant implications for the country's future.
