Italy granted citizenship to Argentine President Javier Milei due to his Italian ancestry, reflecting the country’s policy of offering citizenship to descendants of Italian emigrants. This decision has sparked debates about Italy’s citizenship laws, particularly their perceived unfairness toward children of immigrants born in Italy who often face difficulties in obtaining citizenship. Despite the criticism, the move aligns with Italy’s long-standing legal framework and has also fostered closer political and economic ties between Italy and Argentina, with leaders discussing a collaborative Action Plan for 2025-2030.
