Argentina’s president Javier Milei given Italian citizenship, sparking outrage

Some angry that politician with Italian roots easily obtained citizenship while on trip to meet PM Giorgia Meloni

Italy’s government has granted citizenship to Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, on account of his Italian family roots, prompting outrage among opposition politicians who contrasted his treatment with that of the children born in Italy of migrant parents.

Milei is in Rome to meet the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, and to take part in her Brothers of Italy party’s annual festival on Saturday.
