Italy votes on citizenship rules and labor reforms
TL;DR
Italy is holding a two-day referendum on changing citizenship and labor laws, including reducing the residency requirement for citizenship from 10 to 5 years and enhancing worker protections. The vote, driven by grassroots campaigns, faces low turnout with political parties divided on participation; the center-left supports the reforms, while the right-wing government urges abstention, hoping the vote does not reach the 50% threshold for validity.
