(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 2 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Saturday congratulated new Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch after she won the group's leadership contest to become the first black woman to head a major British political party.
    "Congratulations to Kemi Badenoch, who has been elected the new leader of the Conservatives," Tajani, the leader of the centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party, said in a post on X.
    "A black woman is bidding to lead the United Kingdom. Good example of integration".
    Tajani linked Badenoch's victory to FI's Ius Italiae (Latin for Law of Italy) proposal to enable the children of migrants to become Italian citizens after 10 years of compulsory schooling here, rather than having to wait until they come of age at 18.
    "It's like what the Ius Italiae proposes," Tajani said.
    "It is not a left-wing proposal". (ANSA).
