The anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) won't vote in favour of a bill granting 'ius
soli' citizenship rights to children born on Italian soil from
immigrant parents, M5S leader Beppe Grillo said Wednesday. He
said the bill in parliament "is an Italian-style mess that wants
to give a political boost to those still feeding off
ideologies," he said. Grillo said coordination with the EU on
"uniform rules" was instead required because granting Italian
citizenship meant granting EU citizenship". So the M5S, as it
has already done in the House, will abstain in the Senate, he
said. The M5S has been accused of courting rightwing votes with
a turn against migrants and Roma.
