Arguments Made in Court Against the Tajani Decree

The Constitutional Court hearing on the Tajani decree is the case many families pursuing Italian citizenship by descent have been waiting for. At the heart of it is whether the Tajani decree was constitutionally sound, especially in light of questions around retroactivity, equality under the Italian Constitution, recognition of citizenship at birth, and the impact on those who were already waiting to apply through consulates. The case also touches on how Italy treats jure sanguinis applicants whose rights, eligibility, and access to the recognition process were affected by the sudden change in rules.
