School bus hijack children to get Italian nationality
Foreign children on the school bus hijacked near Milan last week are to be awarded Italian nationality, far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Wednesday after a week-long debate. The dramatic police rescue of 51 children on the bus hijacked by their driver of Senegalese origin on March 20 has gripped Italy and rekindled debate about its citizenship laws.
“If there are children who are not Italian citizens, we have studied this question and we will complete the process so that they can become Italian,” Salvini said after meeting five of the children and some of the police who saved them in Rome.
