Lega prepares new religious freedom and anti-radicalization laws

The Lega party is preparing a legislative package aimed at regulating religious freedom and combating radicalization in Italy. The proposal specifically targets religious confessions that do not have a formal agreement with the State, with a particular focus on Islamic communities.

Key components of the plan include the establishment of a national registry for religious entities and a separate register for ministers of worship. The legislation also proposes making the publication of financial statements mandatory for these organizations and increasing oversight of financial flows, especially those coming from abroad.

Furthermore, the package introduces a new criminal offense for individuals who spread teachings that contradict the legal system or promote radicalized approaches. Other measures mentioned include restrictions on full-face veils and tighter controls regarding residence permits.
