The Constitutional Court of Italy will discuss the validity of the right to citizenship for offspring (Ius Sanguinis) at a hearing scheduled for June 24. This discussion arises following the judgment issued on November 26, 2024 by the Court of Bologna, which raised the question of the constitutionality of article 1 of Law 91/1992.
It is a crucial debate for the descendants of Italians abroad.
Article 135 of the Italian Constitution establishes that the Constitutional Court is composed of 15 judges, appointed equally by the President of the Republic, the Parliament in a joint session and the highest magistrates in the country. The Court’s decision will be definitive and binding.
This debate is of fundamental importance, since, in the event that the court does not admit the Ius Sanguinis, thousands of descendants of residents outside Italy would be affected in their right to obtain Italian citizenship. In particular, this would affect the great communities of Italian origin in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Australia and other countries.
The center of the debate lies in the possible introduction of limits to the automatic recognition of citizens by offspring, which could significantly modify the current legal framework.
From the South American Union of Italian emigrants (USEI) we express our total commitment to any reform that limits the right to citizenship of our compatriots and descendants. We consider that this measure would attack the identity and historical links of the Italian community abroad. We must remain vigilant and defend our right.
Honorable National Deputy Usei for South America (MC) businessman.
