Argentina’s President Javier Milei has been granted Italian citizenship while on a state visit to Italy, according to a spokesperson for Italy’s Foreign Ministry. Milei, who has three Italian grandparents that emigrated to Argentina in 1926, was granted citizenship based on his bloodline, under the principle of 'ius sanguinis'.
During the visit to Rome, Milei's sister and political adviser Karina Milei also received Italian citizenship. The siblings attended the political convention of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right Brothers of Italy party during their visit.
