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.
