Tajani was referencing his party’s proposal to enable the children on migrants to become Italian before they turn 18.
The mooted reform has caused tension within the ruling coalition, with Transport Minister Matteo Salvini’s League staunchly against it.
Pime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party are also less than convinced.
Tajani told Mediaset television that he had given the parliamentary groups of his Forza Italia party the job of studying a proposal for its ius scholae (Latin for ‘law of the school’) reform.
The idea is to grant Italian citizenship to the children of immigrants once they have completed mandatory schooling in Italy, rather than wait until they are 18 to apply as at present.
‘It is a matter of feeling Italian,” he said.
“We will prepare the bill, and we will show it to our allies,” he continued, adding that the government’s current priority was the 2025 budget bill.
