- Italy sends citizenship-by-descent dispute to EU court
Italy's Constitutional Court referred a dispute over its citizenship-by-descent law, the Tajani Decree, to the European Court of Justice. The law requires applicants to demonstrate closer ties to Italy and has sparked legal challenges, particularly affecting Italian descendants in Brazil. The EU court will assess whether the law's retroactive application complies with EU regulations.
