Italy Holds Referendum on Softening Citizenship Requirements

Date:

Italian leader Giorgia Meloni opposes a referendum proposal to cut the citizenship wait for non-EU adults from 10 years of residency to just five.

Italians are voting in a two-day referendum on a series of major reforms, including whether to ease citizenship laws. However, the vote may ultimately be void if it fails to meet the required turnout threshold.

Opposition parties, as well as a leading trade union opposed to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government, are pushing the changes.
