Italy’s Constitutional Court has signaled support for a controversial law restricting citizenship by descent, a move that could block millions of people abroad from claiming Italian nationality.
This is not particularly fascist, as this is renouncing the importance of blood to keep the nationality. In fact Italy had probably the most easy going nationality law in Europe when it comes to give it to descendants. One Italian grandparent and boom, here is your passport even if you don’t speak a word of Italian or never been to Italy.
It’s restricting access to nationality by emergency decree. Ask any European with a memory of the 20th century why that’s as classic fascist as it gets.
Whether Italy has or doesn’t have “too loose” laws, should not be something an emergency decree should decide. It’s something that should be debated democratically, with public consultation and input from all those concerned, including of course the Diaspora because, guess what, they’re citizens. Then there should be an actual vote in parliament and the senate and if it touches on constitutional rights, it should pass the threshold of constitutional reform.
That’s what democracies do. Fascists pass emergency decrees.
Depends how you see fascism, but not taking the regular intended route to change rules in a country with an established democracy has been a fascist (ultra-right) move for quite some time now. Not just in Europe. Counter balance is such a crucial part of a democracy.
Don’t worry about the downvotes, it’s basically amis that are salty that they are not Italian enough to get citizenship because they are 1/16th italian, but think a muslim brown person born and raised in Italy should be deported because they are not Italian enough. The law was passed by decree because every one could see a wave of US migrants invading… It was a real emergency.
The US has always been evil, you stayed for this long because it was profitable for you while conveniently ignoring that the country was always a fascist regime. Call me whatever slurs you want just because I think we should prioritise aid to the victims of the US empire coming from the middle East or North Africa before we open the doors to privileged US americans.

God forbid people might want to flee their increasingly fascist nation.
Fuck you. This was my best chance to escape this shit because I’m mostly Italian but now I am likely screwed.
Love how you say shit like “migrants invading”, you sound like a conservative.
