00:00Where in Europe grants the most citizenships?
00:06Italians have been voting over the past couple of days
00:09on whether to slash citizenship residency requirements
00:12for non-EU immigrants from ten years to five,
00:15but misinformation has swirled about the vote.
00:18Take these comments from Transport Minister Matteo Salvini
00:21and others who claim that Italy is the country
00:23that grants the most citizenship applications every year.
00:27The most dangerous thing is that
00:30it would extend citizenship to hundreds of thousands of people
00:34in indiscriminate manner with Italy
00:37which is the first European country
00:39for a concession of citizenship every year.
00:42However, it's not true that Italy approves
00:44the most citizenship requests year on year,
00:46and we can check this by looking at the most recent numbers
00:49from Eurostat.
00:50They show that in 2023 Spain granted the most citizenships,
00:54sitting at more than 240,000.
00:57Italy came in second place with 214,000,
01:01then Germany with 200,000,
01:03France 97,000,
01:05and Sweden with 68,000.
01:07The UK granted 202,000 citizenships in 2023,
01:10according to British government figures.
01:12Things change though when we look at the citizenships granted
01:15in relation to a country's population.
01:17Here, Luxembourg came first in 2023,
01:19with 8.8 citizenships per 1,000 people,
01:23followed by Sweden, Spain, Belgium,
01:25and Italy scraping into the top five.
01:27It's true though that Italy does consistently rank
01:30among the highest by total number of citizenships granted,
01:33and has sometimes given the most in some years,
01:36such as in 2022 and 2020.
01:38As things stand, Italy are some of the strictest
01:41citizenship requirements in Europe,
01:43with immigrants needing to live there for 10 years
01:45before officially becoming Italian.
01:47Others, such as Switzerland, Lithuania, and Slovenia,
01:50have similar stipulations in place.
