Italians are heading to the polls to vote on a referendum that could make it easier for children born in Italy to foreign parents to gain citizenship.⁣ ⁣ Supporters of the change, including Italy’s main union and leftwing opposition parties, say it would help children of non-EU parents feel more fully part of a country they already call home.⁣ ⁣ But the vote has stirred political tensions. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she’ll go to the polls but won’t cast a vote.⁣ ⁣ A move critics on the left have slammed as antidemocratic, since the referendum needs a minimum turnout to be valid.⁣ ⁣ #italy #citizenship #italiancitizenship #euimmigration
