Italian Citizenship Decree Being Discussed in Parliament – What Could Change

Italy’s recent emergency decree affecting citizenship by descent has triggered a wave of political and legal debate, raising questions about how it was introduced, the speed of its rollout, and the broader implications for those hoping to apply. With concerns mounting over its potential retroactive impact and whether the decree was the appropriate legislative tool to use, discussions in Parliament are still ongoing. Amendments are being proposed, and while nothing is finalized, those prepared to submit their applications may be wise to do so soon. For everyone else, the situation remains fluid, and much could still change in the coming weeks. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about the ongoing parliamentary debate surrounding the emergency decree and what aspects of it might still be changed.
