Following protests against a Lodi
town council decision that had in practice made about 200
migrant children ineligible for discounted school lunches, the
local administration under the far-right League party mayor Sara
Casanova has brought in new guidelines easing requirements.
The regulations do not allow for self-certification. It is
extremely difficult for many foreign parents to get documents
showing that they do not hold property in their countries of
origin.
Self-certification will now be possible if accompanied by a
statement from the migrants' country of origin stating the
impossibility for that country to issue the necessary
certification or that certification for real estate holdings is
limiting only to part of the national territory.
