Un fallo clave beneficia a los argentinos que buscan obtener la ciudadanía italiana a través de la Justicia

Published

on


La Corte Constitucional de Italia confirmó la validez de la adquisición automática de ciudadanía por descendencia, en medio de la polémica por las restricciones impuestas por el gobierno a los extranjeros.

Así lo decidió luego de que los tribunales de Bolonia, Roma, Milán y Florencia cuestionaran la suficiencia del vínculo filial como base para otorgar ciudadanía, argumentando que podría generar desigualdades.

Si bien no se trata de un fallo general, ya que resolvió un caso puntual, la decisión fue celebrada entre los argentinos que desean acceder a la ciudadanía porque reconoce el derecho de los bisnietos que habían sido excluidos en la nueva normativa aprobada este año tras un decreto del gobierno de Giorgia Meloni.

La nueva ley establece que sólo podrán tramitar la ciudadanía de forma administrativa (por el consulado) aquellos hijos o nietos de italianos nacidos en Italia.

Los jueces consideraron que la ley anterior era correcta y que los cambios introducidos por el gobierno de Italia presentaban vicios de carácter discriminatorios. Resta el fallo de la Corte Suprema de Justicia.

“Estamos esperando que se expida la Corte Suprema, que va a ser después de la feria judicial, porque esto no es un fallo general”, explicó a TN la gestora de ciudadanías, Esther Russo y remarcó que “por ahora son casos aislados, puntuales, que después van a servir para pelear y marcar jurisprudencia”.

Si el criterio se mantiene y prospera, los bisnietos, tataranietos y choznos podrán obtener su ciudadanía de forma judicial, como ocurría antes de los cambios introducidos por el gobierno.

Las restricciones a la ciudadanía para extranjeros

La Cámara de Diputados aprobó el decreto elevado por el gobierno de la primera ministra Giorgia Meloni que modifica el proceso de reconocimiento para acceder a la ciudadanía italiana.

Con 137 votos a favor, 83 en contra y 2 abstenciones, se aprobó la normativa culminando así su tramitación parlamentaria tras el sí del Senado del 15 de mayo.

El decreto establece que, a partir de la reforma, los italianos nacidos en el exterior no transmitirán automáticamente a sus hijos la ciudadanía italiana.

El texto establece un límite generacional para la transmisión de la ciudadanía por derecho de sangre. Así, la ciudadanía solo puede ser reconocida a quien tenga un antepasado de primer grado (padre o madre) o de segundo grado (abuelo o abuela) nacido en Italia y no tenga otra nacionalidad.

Así, solo se concederá durante dos generaciones, es decir, si el solicitante tiene un progenitor -biológico o adoptivo- o un abuelo nacido en Italia. También si el padre o madre de un solicitante nacido en el extranjero han residido “al menos durante dos años consecutivos” en el país europeo antes de su nacimiento.

La reforma termina con los reconocimientos automáticos de la ciudadanía. Hasta ahora, por ejemplo, los argentinos con pasaporte italianos podían transmitir la ciudadanía a sus hijos. Ahora, solo será posible tramitarla si los interesados tienen un padre o un abuelo nacido en Italia.

Se estima que decenas de miles de argentinos se encuentran hoy tramitando su nacionalidad italiana. Bajo la nueva ley, solo serán consideradas los trámites presentados con documentación completa hasta el 27 de marzo de 2025 antes de las 23.59, hora de Roma.

Hasta antes de esta reforma, la ley vigente desde 1992 sostenía el principios de ius sanguinis y no establecía límite de generaciones para solicitar la ciudadanía italiana por descendencia.

Desde el gobierno italiano advirtieron que muchos descendientes de italianos, en especial en la Argentina y Brasil, tramitaban la nacionalidad solo para obtener las ventajas de un pasaporte europeo.

Se estima que casi un millón de italianos residen en la Argentina, en su enorme mayoría descendiente de la masiva emigración italiana de principios de siglo XX.

Murió Dionysis Savvopoulos, ícono de la música griega

El popular cantautor griego Dionysis Savvopoulos, conocido por sus letras alegóricas y profundamente poéticas que abordaban la política, la identidad y la sociedad griegas, falleció. Tenía 80 años.

Savvopoulos, figura destacada de la escena cultural e intelectual griega, falleció el martes por la noche, según anunció su familia en su cuenta oficial de redes sociales. El músico había estado hospitalizado en los últimos días y llevaba varios años luchando contra el cáncer.

Conocido por su apodo Nionios —un apodo común para Dionisio—, Savvopoulos saltó a la fama en la década de 1960, alcanzando fama nacional con sus canciones sutilmente revolucionarias durante la dictadura militar de 1967-1974. Fue encarcelado brevemente por la junta, y sus canciones se convirtieron en himnos de resistencia para jóvenes y disidentes en Grecia.

Los homenajes a Savvopoulos llegaron desde todo el mundo político y cultural griego.

“No quiero creerlo, pero nuestro Dionisio ya no está aquí”, publicó el primer ministro Kyriakos Mitsotakis en sus redes sociales. “Savvopoulos se ha ido, dejando una profunda huella en la música, las letras y el estilo público. Porque con su trabajo y su postura, demostró ser un compositor maravilloso. Un griego sensible”.

Nacido en Tesalónica el 2 de diciembre de 1944, Savvopoulos estudió Derecho, pero nunca terminó sus estudios. Se mudó a Atenas en 1963 y comenzó su carrera musical, actuando en pequeños clubes de la capital griega.

Sus canciones mezclaban múltiples géneros, incluida la música popular griega con elementos de rock y folk-rock, la música de músicos estadounidenses como Bob Dylan y Frank Zappa, así como la música tradicional griega.

Compuso tanto la música como la letra de la mayoría de sus canciones, con un profundo contenido político, romántico y humorístico. Su álbum debut, “Fortigo” (que significa “Camión”), se lanzó en 1966 y se convirtió en un gran éxito, catapultándolo a la fama con su combinación de comentarios políticos, influencias del rock y modismos folclóricos griegos.

Consolidó su éxito con su segundo álbum, “The Fool’s Garden”, publicado tres años después, en 1969, durante la dictadura militar. Savvopoulos se convirtió rápidamente en una de las principales voces de la disidencia artística griega, y para la caída de la junta en 1974, era considerado uno de los compositores griegos más importantes y originales de su generación.

En 1972, lanzó el álbum “The Dirty Bread”, que incluía la canción “The Angel Herald”, una adaptación de “The Wicked Messenger” de Bob Dylan, mientras que en 1997 lanzó “The Hotel”, un álbum dedicado a artistas que lo habían inspirado, incluidos Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Jethro Tull, Van Morrison, Lou Reed, Lucio Dalla y otros.

“Fue un gran artista, un hombre extraordinario, apreciado por el pueblo griego por su personalidad, su obra y su contribución al arte”, declaró el presidente griego Konstantinos Tassoulas en un comunicado. “Inflexible, innovador y audaz, encarnó el espíritu de cuestionamiento de la forma más sensible y poética a través de obras que marcaron la historia de la canción griega y se convirtieron en hitos de la cultura moderna de nuestro país”.

Savvopoulos, un talentoso artista escénico, cautivaba a públicos de todas las edades con su música y narrativa. Continuó actuando a lo largo de su carrera, participando en conciertos en vivo tan recientemente como este año, cuando actuó en un festival de música de verano a las afueras de Atenas.

Savvopoulos publicó su autobiografía, “Por qué pasan los años”, a principios de 2025, donde habló abiertamente sobre su batalla contra el cáncer de pulmón, diagnosticado en 2020.

“La muerte es algo inaceptable. Pero una vez que la aceptas, es cuando empiezas a vivir”, dijo en una entrevista televisiva.

A Savvopoulos le sobreviven su esposa Aspa, dos hijos y dos nietos. Los detalles del funeral se anunciarán más adelante, según informó su familia.

How Louvre burglars obtained truck-mounted lift to make off with jewels worth more than $100M

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The thieves behind the daring Louvre Museum heist in Paris, France, appear to have used a truck-mounted moving lift — the kind professional movers use to hoist furniture up to apartment windows — in order to scale the building’s second floor, according to Laure Beccuau, the Paris prosecutor.

The burglars pretended they were hiring the freight lift for a move and when the equipment owner or representative arrived to verify the job, the suspects threatened that person, forcing them to hand it over and leave the scene, Beccuau said in an interview with RTL radio, according to The New York Times.

Authorities said the thieves spent less than four minutes inside the Louvre on Sunday morning. They allegedly wheeled the vehicle to the Seine-facing façade, a window was forced open, and two vitrines were smashed.

The thieves made away with a total of eight objects, including a sapphire diadem, necklace and single earring from a set linked to 19th-century queens Marie-Amélie and Hortense. The heist has prompted a national reckoning, with some officials comparing the shock to the 2019 burning of Notre-Dame cathedral.

They also stole an emerald necklace and earrings tied to Empress Marie-Louise, Napoleon Bonaparte’s second wife, and a reliquary brooch. Empress Eugénie’s diamond diadem and her large corsage-bow brooch — an imperial ensemble of rare craftsmanship — were also part of the loot.

One piece — the emerald-set imperial crown of Empress Eugénie, with more than 1,300 diamonds — was later found outside the museum, damaged but recoverable.

Beccuau said the stolen items were valued at around $102.1 million and that the team investigating the heist has grown to 100 people. 

The pieces were not insured, which is not uncommon for state collections because of the prohibitive costs, the Times reported, citing France’s culture ministry. The ministry reportedly said that the state «acts as its own insurer» when works are in their usual place of conservation «given the cost of taking out insurance» and the fact that «the accident rate is low.»

Beccuau told local media that investigators believe the robbers may have been commissioned by a collector or were purely motivated by the value of the jewels and precious metals, Reuters reported.

«We’re looking at the hypothesis of organized crime,» Beccuau told BFMTV, noting that the thieves could be professionals operating on spec for a buyer.

Beccuau added that if a collector did commission the heist, there is hope that the stolen pieces will remain intact and well-preserved until recovered, the outlet reported. If the thieves acted independently, they may have targeted the jewels for their potential use in laundering criminal proceeds.

«Nowadays, anything can be linked to drug trafficking, given the significant sums of money obtained from drug trafficking,» Beccuau said, according to Reuters.

Investigators are keeping all leads open, but foreign interference has reportedly been largely ruled out in the case.

Alliance with US ‘dismantled’ by leftist Petro regime, Colombia’s former defense minister says

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Former Colombian Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzón warned that the once-close U.S.–Colombia alliance has «collapsed» under President Gustavo Petro, accusing the leftist leader of aligning with Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro and turning Colombia into a «narco-state.»

Pinzón, who is weighing a presidential run, told Fox News Digital he could «repair U.S.-Colombian relations in a week» and urged international oversight of Colombia’s May elections amid what he called growing cartel influence and political corruption.

«Petro has made himself an ally to [Venezuelan dictator Nicolás] Maduro’s regime, a narco-state, and a regime that is held mainly by the Cartel de los Soles,» Pinzón said. «He has justified the existence of drug trafficking in Colombia … he has aligned himself with the idea of something that he calls ‘Total Peace,’ which implies that he’s providing benefits to drug traffickers and terrorist organizations and in general terms to organized crime.»

Relations between Washington and Bogotá — historically one of the closest U.S. security partnerships in Latin America — have deteriorated sharply under Petro, who has sought warmer ties with Caracas while distancing Colombia from the U.S. and Western allies.

During his tenure as defense minister from 2011 to 2015 under President Juan Manuel Santos, Pinzón oversaw some of Colombia’s most aggressive operations against the FARC and other armed groups, helping drive coca production and kidnappings to historic lows. As ambassador to Washington from 2015 to 2017, he helped secure Colombia’s designation as a major non-NATO ally, expanding intelligence sharing and military training programs with the U.S. — partnerships he now says have been «dismantled» under Petro.

Under Petro’s «Total Peace» policy, the Colombian government negotiates directly with armed criminal groups in an effort to end decades of internal conflict and integrate fighters into civilian life. Critics, including Pinzón, say the initiative has legitimized cartels and weakened the country’s security forces.

«Homicide has gone up, terrorist actions have gone up, kidnappings have gone up, and the killing of police officers and military is increasing,» he said. «All this is very bad for my country. And this is why I’m so committed to fight this, to confront this.»

Pinzón, who previously served as both defense minister and ambassador to Washington, is positioning himself as a pro-U.S. alternative ahead of Colombia’s 2026 presidential race. «I might announce a decision in the coming weeks,» he said. «That’s something that I’m really considering.»

He also called for international election monitoring, warning that criminal networks could interfere in the vote. «If I were to ask something to the world today and to the international community — to the U.S., to the European Union, and even to countries in Asia — it’s that they make sure Colombian elections are not tainted by drug trafficking, illegal mining or terrorist hands,» Pinzón said.

After a recent spat where Petro accused the U.S. of killing a Colombian fisherman in one of its seven Caribbean strikes targeting drug traffickers, Trump announced he would cut off all counter-narcotics aid to Colombia and hike tariffs on the nation.

Pinzón urged Washington not to punish ordinary Colombians for Petro’s policies.

«It’s not regular Colombians who are doing this,» he said. «Most of us completely disagree with what is going on under Petro. We don’t want to see tariffs that can affect jobs and businesses in Colombia.»

While he praised Trump’s stance against narco-trafficking and corruption, Pinzón said he hopes the U.S. will avoid cutting counternarcotics aid, which he described as vital to Colombia’s military and police forces on the front lines of the drug war. «Our military and police are the real fighters against drugs,» he said. «They continue to sacrifice, they continue to confront terrorism and drug trafficking. If that support disappears, it’s the criminals who are going to benefit.»

Instead, Pinzón said Washington should focus on targeted financial sanctions — such as those imposed by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) — to hit specific traffickers, corrupt officials and their enablers rather than imposing measures that «hurt regular Colombians.» «We would prefer OFAC-style sanctions on the people committing crimes,» he said, «not policies that punish those who oppose Petro’s agenda.»

Looking ahead to potential ties with Washington, Pinzón said he could quickly rebuild the partnership through renewed security and intelligence cooperation, technology exchange and educational programs.

«I will just come to the U.S., speak openly and clearly with President Trump and the U.S. leadership, and speak on the need of creating a security agreement again on intelligence, on air mobility, on technology, on combating drug trade, but also on critical minerals and education,» he said. «We want more Colombians to come to U.S. schools and enhance their capabilities and come back to Colombia to create knowledge, wealth and prosperity. We’re going to be again the closest ally of the United States strategically in the region.»

If Colombia continues on its current course, Pinzón warned, it could destabilize the entire hemisphere. «Colombia is a stabilizer at the end,» he said. «If Colombia fails, the whole region will fail.»

Asked if he would seek U.S. backing, Pinzón said he values bipartisan support. «Everybody knows that I will have a very good relationship with the United States, certainly with the current administration, with President Trump,» he said.

Pinzón also accused Petro of «abandoning» Colombian citizens during a diplomatic spat with Washington after refusing deportation flights from the U.S. because the migrants were shackled. He said he would cooperate on deportations and be open to broader agreements if asked.

«When Afghanistan fell, we offered the U.S. even to take care of some of the Afghanis if necessary,» Pinzón said. «When you have a strong relationship as the one we used to have between Colombia and the U.S., and we will have if I can get to the presidency, what we’re going to see is a lot of good coordination and a lot of good things for both the people of Colombia and the people of the United States.»
