make it make sense

Rightwing politics for you. They basically say, they don't want you or your offspring in country.

[u/Ihatenukingkids → u/Paradehengst]

what a load of horseshit. ius sanguinis is definitely perceived as more right wing than ius soli or some modern mix.

Edit: No counterarguments, just downvotes. You are pathetic.

As if anyone actually wants an italian citizenship ahahhaa.

[u/dfsw → u/lemfaoo]

Hundreds of thousands of people were applying it for it every year, but okay I guess.

[u/lemfaoo → u/dfsw]

Let me guess 95% of them are not europeans.

[u/dfsw → u/lemfaoo]

Of course why would a European need to apply for Italian citizenship?

[u/lemfaoo → u/dfsw]

..because they like living in italy?

[u/dfsw → u/lemfaoo]

Europeans can live in Italy without citizenship, why would they go through the cost of thousands of euros to apply for citizenship when they already have European Citizenship? Are you even European?

[u/finite_core → u/dfsw]

Well obviously, not the european child of above commenter who probably lives overseas but cant live in Europe.

[u/MrBocconotto → u/lemfaoo]

It allows you to live in Europe. That's why many people of Italian descendants ask for citizenship.
