A bill that would grant
citizenship to migrant children born on Italian soil who have
completed five years in the Italian school system is not on the
September schedule for the floor of the Senate, sources said
Tuesday.
Upper House party whips met on Tuesday to decide the
assembly's programme.
The bill has stalled amid staunch opposition, with some
politicians linking it to the migrant crisis.
The bill is opposed, as well as by rightwing populist and
centre-right conservative parties, by the government's junior
partner, the centre-right Popular Area (AP), led by Foreign
Minister Angelino Alfano.
