Italy has granted citizenship to Argentine President Milieu

The Italian government has granted citizenship to Argentine President Javier Miley. This was reported by Il Post on Friday, December 13.

Milei had grandparents from Calabria who emigrated to Argentina in the early 20th century, and he will be granted citizenship based on the principle of jus sanguinis ("right of blood." - Latin) - the same one that governs the right to citizenship in Italy.

"He also has excellent relations and good political harmony with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as right-wing and national conservative as he is," the piece said.

As Italian observers noted, for Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni, the decision is also a diplomatic move to strengthen ties with Argentina.

Italian citizenship will also receive the younger sister Milei Carina, who serves as Secretary General of the presidential administration.

Earlier, on November 14, Argentine President Javier Milay met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at the Conservative Political Action Conference at the U.S. politician's Mar-a-Lago residence.
