A row is continuing over a 'ius
soli' (Latin for law of the soil) bill that would grant Italian
citizenship to immigrant children born on Italian soil who have
had at last five years of Italian schooling.
Anti-immigrant Northern League (LN) bigwig Roberto Calderoli
on Sunday attacked the Italian bishops conference (CEI) for
criticising those like the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S) who have changed stance on the issue " for their own
(political) interests".
M5S bigwig Luigi Di Maio meanwhile described the bill as "an
incredible mess".
Pope Francis repeated that "all (migrants) must be welcomed".
