The theme of “simpler” citizenship for foreigners In our country there remains a theme, despite the results of the referendum.
A theme reinforcement in a question mixed with bunch with others of different content; maid in a referendum, because the direct democracy It cannot replace the representative one and the Parliament of Elected touch the political choices.
But you have to have the courage to make them, the choices, facing the themes.
I believe that citizenship does not concern above all the time necessary to acquire a document, time that varies in the different European countries (also here: a united Europe could have the same rules, If Europe were a political subject), and I think it is not primarily of convenience:
We need workers, the fabric of small and medium -sized companies, agricultural and otherwise, which are the engine of our economy.
We need children, young peoplesince we are the oldest in the world and our pension system no longer holds.
New Italians are needed. And to be Italian there is a priority necessity: know the Italianto know Italy’s languages and constitutions, laws and habits. Or it is necessary study here, attend school.
Ten years of schoolif really frequented (and everyone must be put in a position to be able to do it) make any boy and girl a citizen.
For this reason to think about Ius scholae It is urgent and should see the concrete commitment of all political, social and cultural forces.
The school, moreover, removes many young people from anonymity, indifference, from the street, where too many kids end up in the clutches of the different crime.
More school, more integration, more medical and psychological assistance It is a link with families, which generates unity, trust and removes prejudices, suspicions, fears.
More real school, however, not bounded with ultra -plap courses that do not allow an insertion in class and force the poor teachers to the mortal jumps to carry out a minimal program, further lowering the level of education.
But passionate teachers make miracles and also the students, if they feel well likely, respond with as many miracles.
Immediate citizenship after ten years of school is not an easy shortcutwhy study and study coast. The adjective immediate It involves a speed of the elephantiaca bureaucracy that brakes our country in every area.
The Ius scholae Therefore it is convenient, for the reasons already said. But above all It is a fact of justice: let’s talk about people, not of numbers. People with complex storiesif they left their land and their family members to come to us. Escape war, persecutions or poverty.
Opening and reception These are empty words if they do not translate into a dignified life, in a stable working and family future.
The first way to favor them is knowledge, the study, which makes man free and citizen.
