The Italian Bishops' Conference intervenes on the subject of the Ius scholae and asks to overcome divisions and ideological positions.
Politics must realize that our country is changing and "the reform of the 'Ius scholae is meeting this reality, with 5 and a half million migrants", says Monsignor Gian Carlo Perego, president of the Episcopal Commission for Migration of the CEI and president of the Migrantes Foundation.
For Perego, politics must take a step forward, beyond "ideological debates, for the good not only of those who await this law, but also of Italy itself, one of the oldest countries".
"Citizenship - he continues - is an instrument of inclusion, integration, active participation in the life of the city and social security.
An instrument that for ethical and justice reasons safeguards the dignity of people.
It is a democratic tool ", emphasizes Monsignor Perego.
In favor of the Ius Scholae obviously the Pd that proposed it, but also the whole area of the center left.
Against the party of Giorgia Meloni who considers it a waste of time.
"War, drought, economic crisis, skyrocketing inflation and the Draghi majority commits Parliament to discuss the legalization of drugs and easy citizenship for immigrants - argues the group leader of the Brothers of Italy in the Chamber, Francesco Lollobrigida -. FdI claims to address the urgent problems of businesses and families. Without wasting any more time ".

Against the measure, which should be discussed in the Chamber in the House starting from Tuesday, the League had also immediately deployed so as to threaten the crisis.
"What the left is proposing, unfortunately, is not, as Perego claims, greater participation, but rather a citizenship without examinations or checks, in fact even for the dangerous baby gangs that unfortunately have long occupied the news pages at local and national level. no foreign adult linked to minors with new citizenship would be more expellable - says the Northern League's Undersecretary for Education, Rossano Sasso -. another student "- he continues -" Today the priorities of the real country,
FI's position is more articulated.
Even the national coordinator Antonio Tajani, who does not represent the whole party, argues that the measure does not represent a priority, but concedes to be "in favor of the principle, but with real training", "Five years without certification are not enough. We have made of the proposals that were rejected by the left "which foresaw" eight years, otherwise it becomes a mockery ".
But in FI the positions are different, for example, Renata Polverini, who had already voted favorably in the committee on the Ius scholae, but also previously on the Zan Ddl, has made it known that she will confirm her yes to the Ius scholae.
It therefore remains to be seen how you will express the more "centrist" wing of the party.

On the basis of the political alignments, the Ius scholae has a good chance of being approved in the Chamber, especially if the request of Forza Italia is somehow incorporated.
Another story in the Senate, without the forced votes the new citizenship law has very little chance of coming into force.
The choice is in the hands of the Democratic Party, accepting Fi's proposal, as well as bringing home the law would have the effect of isolating Lega and Fratelli d'Italia in their ideological prejudice just stigmatized even by the CEI.
Instead, by privileging the identity aspect of the Ius scholae as it is configured now, the Democratic Party risks delivering the first affirmation to the League after so many blows.
