Italy, led by Giorgia Meloni's far right is set to make access to Italian citizenship easier. The country is following the example of Germany, which relaxed the requirements for acquiring citizenship in June. But with almost one million people having obtained the citizenship of an EU member state by 2022 – is a brighter and more diverse future ahead for the EU?

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and made available in 9 languages through a European media partnership named EMOVE Hub. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for „European Media Hubs” within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
