13-year-old Egyptian terror bus
boy hero Ramy Shehata should swiftly get his wish to become an
Italian citizen, Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said Monday.
"On Ramy I trust in a rapid resolution as far as citizenship
for special merits is concerned," he said after the other deputy
premier, Interior Miniuster Matteo Salvini, also said Ramy's
citizenship wish was being considered.
Di Maio said "Premier Giuseppe Conte agrees too. Let's not
beat about the bush. let's give that boy citizenship".
Salvini had initially been cool to the request,saying Ramy
should get himself elected if he wanted to change Italy's
citizenship laws which only allow foreigners born in Italy to
apply once they have turned 18.
