Italians indignantly: Mile gets civil rights while young Italians are fighting!

Rome, Italy - A storm of indignation brews itself in Italy! The government awarded the Argentine President Javier Milei and his sister Karina to citizenship - and because of their Italian roots! This decision, which looks like a slap in the face for many young Italians, ensures heated debates across the country.

The Italian news agency Ansa reported that the applications from Milei and his sister were processed in record time. In the meantime, millions of Italians who are born and grew up often have to navigate for years through a bureaucratic labyrinth to maintain citizenship. Riccardo Magi, a member of the opposition party +Europe, spoke of "intolerable discrimination" and drew attention to the injustice that brings this decision for the young Italians.

The inequality of citizenship

The outrage is increased by the fact that organizations such as Oxfam Italia demand a shortening of waiting times in order to adapt the procedures to the regulations of other EU countries such as France and Germany. But the right -wing extremist government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has vehemently spoken out against such changes.

a strong band between Milei and Meloni

The connection between Milei and Meloni is getting tighter. The two guides met on Friday, and Milei took part in the ATREJU Festival, a right youth event in Rome, which is organized by Meloni's "Brothers of Italy". Their ideological similarities seem to form a strong alliance.

A memorable moment was when Meloni Milei presented a figure that shows him with a chainsaw - a symbol for his 2023 campaign in which he promised to reduce the government. Milei is not the first Argentine president to have double Italian citizenship; Mauricio Macri, who was President of Argentina from 2015 to 2019, also had an Italian passport.

These developments throw a bright light on the injustices in the Italian citizenship system and show how political connections can favor the rules for some, while others have to fight for their rights. The anger of the Italians is noticeable - and the debate about citizenship will continue to gain intensity!
