Forza Italia (FI) has renewed its push for the approval of the ius scholae citizenship reform in Italy, expressing readiness to vote on it alongside the Democratic Party (PD). FI's proposal has sparked debate within the center-right coalition, with the Lega party strongly opposing it, labeling the idea as "unacceptable and wrong" both technically and politically. PD has shown openness to dialogue and collaboration on the reform, while the Five Star Movement (M5S), Italia Viva (IV), and Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra (AVS) have called for coherence and clear timelines regarding citizenship reform. FI leader Antonio Tajani has urged PD to support FI's version of the proposal, which differs in the required years of schooling for eligibility. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has distanced herself and her party, Fratelli d'Italia (FdI), from the initiative, emphasizing that the ius scholae is not part of their governing program and urging a focus on other priorities. The differing stances have led to tensions within the center-right coalition, with FI's position causing a split and prompting opposition parties to engage in discussions about the reform's future.
