Conte 'hopes for reflection' on ius soli

(ANSA) - Rome, March 29 - Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte on
Friday said the topic of Italian citizenship for immigrant
children, dubbed 'ius soli' (Latin for 'law of the soil'),
"isn't in the government's contract" but said he hopes for a
"calm reflection" in Italy in "the appropriate fora".
However, Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio rejected the idea that
the government would discuss ius soli.
"It won't be a measure that this government discusses, also
because there's already a law in Italy that regulates
citizenship," Di Maio said.
"The reflection hoped for by the premier is a personal
feeling of his," Di Maio said.
