Italy Proposes Heavy Fines for Use of English Words in Official Communication
TL;DR Summary
Italy's right-wing government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has proposed new legislation that would fine the use of English and other foreign words in official communications between €5,000 and €100,000. The proposed legislation aims to defend and promote the Italian language and protect national identity. The use of English words "demeans and mortifies" the Italian language, according to the draft bill. The proposed legislation still needs to go up for parliamentary debate.
