Novo Nordisk has found the formula to recover the profitability of Ozempic: fire 9,000 employees

by

The Pharmaceutical Novo Nordisk, manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy, is living one of the biggest turbulence in its history recent. After losing the favor of investors and a good part of its stock market value in the last year, the company has announced a drastic reduction of workforce that affects 9,000 employees around the world: 11.5% of the total staff. 9,000 layoffs, most in Denmark. Novo Nordisk has confirmed Through a statement the cut of 9,000 jobs in the coming years, a figure that represents 11.5% of its template globally, composed of 78,400 employees. Denmark, a country of origin of the pharmaceutical, will be the country that will receive the greatest impact of that measure, accumulating about 5,000 of the planned dismissals. The firm has not yet specified how layoffs will be distributed in the rest of international venues, since the decision is subject to “to the relevant consultations in accordance with local labor legislation.” The multinational has remarked that “this is a global transformation, and each country, headquarters or region will be affected differently,” underlining the international dimension of its labor adjustment process. Multimillionaire savings and business reorganization. With this cut, the pharmaceutical enhance business lines centered on the Research for new treatments For diabetes and obesity, putting greater emphasis on commercial initiatives. It should be remembered that, in origin, both Ozempic and Wegovy were born as a new treatment to enhance insulin generation, but its satiating effects turned out to be much more profitable. Among the objectives mentioned in the official statement include organizational simplification, the increase in speed in decision making and the reallocation of resources towards the strategic fields of the company. According to the statement, Nordisk “must evolve in a market that has become more competitive and consumer oriented”, which implies “a change of mentality and approach that allows us to be faster and faster.” According to published by Reutersthe company would have asked its employees to return to its full -time offices within that same restructuring and optimization plan for its operations. Bursatile bleeding as a trigger. The collapse of the stock market suffered by Novo Nordisk during the last year is the main trigger for the adjustment measure. As published the BBCthe price of your shares was reduced by 60% Since June 2024, losing 430,000 million in stock market capitalization.

China has found the formula to avoid reciprocal tariffs with the US: “dropshipping” of semiconductors

by

After one tense climbing in the commercial war between China and the United Stateslast April China announced that it matched Washington imposing 125% tariffs to imports of American products, which of course includes semiconductors. Made the law, made the trap. China has the key to preventing their own tariffs from harming them. The country of origin. It is the key point to prevent their own tariffs from harming them. On April 11, the Chinese Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) He published a notice in which the rules to determine the country of origin of semiconductor products were established. According to its norms, the country of origin is determined by the plant in which the wafer has been manufactured and not the country in which they have been designed or where the final packaging has been made. Thus they avoid known as effect Boomerang. The effect Boomerang. It occurs when a tariff designed to punish another country, in this case the United States, ends up harming the economy of the country that imposes it. In response to tariffs imposed by Trump, China matched tariffs at 125%. Although this measure can harm US companies who want to sell their products in China, in the semiconductor sector it is especially delicate since the American chip dependence harms many Chinese companies. Changing the “passport”. This is how some companies manage to escape the Chinese tariff; When importing an AMD chip, an American company, it is not considered an American product but Taiwanés, because it has been manufactured in Taiwan. It is not usual. In fact, for some market analysts It was a surprise Since the country of origin is usually associated with where the product is packaged, not where the factory is located. Why is it important. China is demonstrating that the origin of a product or its “nationality” is not something written in stone, but is something much more fluid and is open to interpretations. This not only affects chips, applies to the entire world supply chain. In July the White House issued a Executive order which established a penalty of 40% for products whose origin has been modified (transsshipping) to avoid tariffs. With this order, the United States is taking measures for the products that arrive, but not for those who come out, although it is very likely that they adapt the legislation in the future. A calculated movement. The movement reminds of the Dropshippingin the sense that the mark of the physical origin is separated from the product, although the objective is different. According to Michael Schulmanresponsible for investments in Running Point Capital, it is “a calculated movement to maintain economic stability and promote foreign investment in local manufacturing.” The affected companies. AMD, Qualcomm or Nvidia outsourcing the manufacture of some of their chips to the TSMC plant in Taiwanso they can dodge the tariff that China imposed as retaliation. On the other hand, others such as Texas Instruments or Intel cannot dodge it because they have their Factories in the United States.

In 2017, four Australians revolutionized video games. ‘Silksong’ and its ‘Coca-Cola formula’ promises to repeat it

by

It is an absolute barbarity, but thousands of video games are thrown every year. The vast majority pass without penalty or glory because we do not have time for everything, but in 2017 a game was launched that shook the segment as an earthquake: ‘Hollow Knight’. An indie title slipped among the great productions of that year thanks to two words: ‘Game Feel’, and in 2019 it was announced that it would have a continuation called ‘Silksong’. Six years later, ‘Silksong’ has become a memebut also in one of the most anticipated launches of 2025 and the absolute star of the great European video game event, the Gamescom. And, finally, ‘Silksong’ has a release date. Without surroundings. When it was learned that ‘Silksong’ would be in Gamescom 2025, the community was excited. This is the perfect frame to show material of a game that, in all these years, has peeked the leg with dropper and, above all, the best time to give a release date. They have done it through a trailer in which we can see the game in action and that expected date: September 4 of this year. Now yes: {“Videid”: “x9p7eki”, “Autoplay”: True, “Title”: “Hollow Knight: Silksong – Trailer Release”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “113”} Earthquake. If you like video games, but the indie scene catches something far away, we go with a little context. ‘Silksong’ is the independent sequel to the aforementioned ‘Hollow Knight’, a game that was born in a Kickstarter campaign, like many others, but unlike many, came to fruition not only in financing, but in recognition. They waited $ 35,000 to give light to the project and reached almost 60,000. Team Cherry was the name of the study and, at the beginning, was composed of two developers: Ari Gibson and William Pellem, but with that extra money, they hired David Kazi as technical director already Chris Larkin as composer and audio designer. Its creation was a ‘Metroidvania’ with an extremely spoiled design and, after a PC launch, it took 15 months to reach one million copies sold. It is not something that all games get, but ‘Hollow Knight’ was very, very good and mouth to mouth worked wonderfully. So much that, when a year later it came out on switch, It took just two weeks in selling more than 250,000 copies. He also reached Xbox One and PS4 and, in addition, with physical versions for the three consoles. In Xataka If there was a museum to the prettiest games, these 28 would be in it The Coca-Cola formula. In it analysis of my 3DJUEGOS companions or in that of my compis of Lifextra They already get rid of praise towards the game, but what I want to contribute is that, much of the success of ‘Hollow Knight’ is due to something that, in video games, is known as ‘Game Feel’. This is that feeling that awakens the title when we have the command between hands, the feedback we receive when performing any action and that keeps us ‘hooked’. In the case of ‘Hollow Knight’, the extremely ‘fine’ controlññ in the platform part has much of the fault, but I consider that it is the fight that really makes a difference. When we attack, the sound is pleasant, the blow feels powerful thanks to both the sound effect and to the particles on screen or that the enemy goes back a few steps due to the forcefulness of the blow and, in addition, the vibrate chamber. Together, it is a dopamine chute for our brain, which only thinks about getting more of those, and it is something that is only achieved if we continue playing. In a nutshell, playing ‘Hollow Knight’ introduces us to a flow state as few games get. THE HYPE TRAIN. Like ‘Super Metroid’ or ‘Symphony of the Night’ in its day, or the Spanish ‘Blasphemous’ more recently,’ Hollow Knight has served as influence for many games developed in recent years. And, being so dear, when in 2019 it was announced that They were working in a sequel Independent with a character we already knew, Hornet, madness broke out. The problem? In these six years we have seen ‘Silksong’ in presentations such as Rog Xbox Ally or in the Nintendo Switch 2but barely passed and without being shown in any case new material, since the same year of presentation already a demo was shown… and since then we have been waiting. And the problem is not so much that there is something wrong within Team Cherry, but in the community we got anxious for each possible novelty of ‘Silksong’ and, in each Nintendo event, the thought circulated in networks of “In this we are going to see it” for, when we had no news, some would always end up putting an image turned into meme and icon clown wig. The meme of each presentation for. Six. Years. ‘Silksong‘. But ‘Silksong’ was alive and Team Cherry has been working all these years in the new installment. I don’t want to imagine the pressure That all this journey since the presentation in 2019 has been supposed for the Australian study, but what has already been played in Gamescom 2025 makes it clear that ‘Silksong’ is not ‘Hollow Knight 2’. While 2017 put us at the controls of a “heavy” and forceful character, almost like a tank, ‘Silksong’ puts us to Hornet’s control, much more athletic and skilled. But what seems not to change at all is that ‘Game Feel’ that marked ‘Hollow Knight’. And, if not only have they managed to maintain those sensations, but have given them a twist thanks to the kinetesia of the new character, ‘Silksong’ only has one destination: selling to espuertas and becoming another milestone of the independent scene. Hype will also help this, of course, but just a few days left to put your hands on top.

Samsung has found the formula for Apple depending on them: Texas

by

Samsung has just won a very important battle against Sony for the control of the image sensors of the iPhone. And the key has not been technology, but geography. Why is it important. Apple has announced An extra investment of 100,000 million dollars In the United States (regarding Middle Billón Original) and has chosen Samsung as a partner to make three -layer image sensors for the iPhone 18. Sony, its exclusive provider for years, produces only in Japan. With the 100% tariffs that Trump plans to impose on foreign chips, Apple urgently needed a national alternative. The context. Samsung will operate a production line of 10,000 monthly wafers in its Austin factory since March. It is the first time that he will manufacture image sensors in the United States. The three -layer stacked sensors What will they use are so advanced that There are only two companies that can dominate them on a commercial level. One is Samsung. The other is Sony. Between the lines. This agreement marks the definitive reconciliation between Apple and Samsung after years of wars for patents that led the first to abandon the second as the main chips manufacturer. Sony’s supply problems in 2023 and 2024 reopened the door, but it has been Trump’s tariffs who have closed the deal. The threat to Sony. The Japanese manufacturer has reduced its estimate of the impact of tariffs on their accounts. From 100,000 to 70,000 million yen – 581 to 406 million – in this fiscal year. But the reality is harder: without facilities in the United States, it will progressively lose market share in the most profitable business of mobile sensors. Deepen. Samsung not only wins this contract. The strategy of expanding your capacity in the United States has also given you The 16,500 million agreement with Tesla for AI chips. Samsung is making very intelligent maneuvers: it is turning Trump’s protectionist policies, originally harmful to its business, an advantage against Asian rivals without a American presence.

In his efforts to retain Elon Musk, Tesla has found a formula to motivate him to follow as CEO: 29,000 million dollars

by

Tesla has approved a New Actions Package For Elon Musk valued at approximately 29,000 million dollars According to the market value. The new remuneration plan to the CEO of Tesla has, as the sole objective of binding the chair of executive director, at least In the next two years. The measure arrives at a time when the company’s actions seem to have stabilized after successive political earthquakes caused by Musk, who have shaken the confidence of investors. This tense calm has led to Tesla seeking to ensure the permanence of Elon Musk in front, with a new temporary agreement that, as They stood out in Financial Timesmove away from conventional ones Bonds by objectives of the CEO Of the big companies and seems to be more an incentive for Musk to change their attitude and focus on their work in Tesla. 29,000 million in exchange for behaving well The new incentive package, valued in about 29,000 is, in reality, A temporary solution. The previous Musk remuneration bonus approved in 2018 for more than 56,000 million dollars was blocked up to twice by a delaware court before the complaint of a Tesla shareholder who He considered it excessive. The court He proved him. That is, Elon Musk would have been working since 2018 in exchange for a symbolic salary to which the law forces (about $ 56,000 a year, According to the accounts presented by Tesla) to which the CEO resigned, since it could not collect the incentive bonus it did. With this new remuneration package, Tesla seeks a way to compensate Musk for the work of the last seven years, while unlocking his previous compensation. If you finally unlock Your 2018 bonus, This package will be canceled and will only receive the 56,000 million dollars that he had already achieved. The package approved by Tesla gives Musk 96 million restricted shares that may be exercised with a fixed price of $ 23.34 per share, well below the current market prices that are around $ 300 per share. In order for Musk to receive these actions, he must continue playing a management role (not necessarily CEO, just manager) in Tesla up to at least 2027 and maintain blocked shares five years later to only sell what is necessary for taxes. The electric car manufacturer has defined the offer as a “first crucial step” for a “long -term compensation strategy for CEO”. Its plan is to design a more detailed remuneration plan and with a more long -term vision for Musk before the company’s shareholders board in November, to submit it to a vote. Attracts attention that, unlike what is usually common in Incentives to managersthis remuneration is not linked to the demand for greater dedication of Musk to solve the problems of Tesla or the achievement of certain challenges that the company has ahead, such as overcoming The fall in sales In good part of the world markets, the Robotaxi implantation autonomous or the development of Optimus robots. Tesla seems to conform to Elon Musk occupies CEO’s chair for the next two years, a rather lax demand taking into account that a few months ago investors claimed Musk to dedicate At least 40 hours per week to Tesla, considering that divides its time into other companies such as Spacex, Neuralink and XAI. Musk motivation and future A few months ago, before the judicial blockade of his 2018 bonus, Musk himself already stated that he can “lose motivation” if he is not compensated properly and dedicate Even less time To Tesla. Therefore, this millionaire package is key to having it focused on the company and preventing it from dispenseing in its other projects. As the Wall Street Journal remembered, Elon Musk said he wanted to have enough control Voting not to be “unseed by activist investors.” “It is not a matter of money. It is a reasonable control over the future of the company. Above all, if we are building millions, potentially billions, of humanoid robots. I can not sit wondering if the activists are going to throw me for political reasons. It would be unacceptable. That is the only thing that matters,” he said In an interview During the Catar Economic Forum in May. The main trick in Tesla’s manga is that Musk, in addition to its CEO, is also one of its main shareholders, controlling approximately 20% of its actions. That is some 194,000 million dollars of your personal fortune. Which is already in itself A good incentive.

The secret formula of Coca-Cola is in a safe of a town in Valencia. The same one that claims its authorship

by

The history is written by the victors (Or that’s what we think). Perhaps the phrase would have to be changed to the story being written who has the best story and, in the commercial world, which knows how to sell its product better. And if there is a universal product that is the same image of globalization and proper name of one of the most powerful corporations in the worldthat’s the Coca-Cola. The story that John Stith Pemberton He is the father of the Coca-Cola and who, after some failed attempts, in 1886 found the formula of the drink Based on coca leaf, kola nut and carbonated water. It is not that it would bring him good luck, since shortly after he died in absolute poverty, taking a secret more powerful than that of his drink itself. The secret of whether he invented it or whether Coca-Cola is a plagiarism of a Spanish drink that was presented in the United States in 1985. Do not say Coca-Cola: Say Kola Coca In its origins, Coca-Cola was not a soda: it was a tonic. In fact, a “miraculous tonic” who cured headaches, relieved exhaustion and calmed his nerves, like Pemberton himself promoted. It was everything, also a “delicious, refreshing, cheerful, stimulating and vigorizing” drink. With cocaineIt wasn’t for less. It was not a success and its creator never saw the real potential of the drink. It was after selling his product to businessman Asa G. Gamdler when the brand exploded and The Coca-Cola Company became the giant that is today. But there are those who think that this position in history does not belong to Gandler or, above all, Pemberton: it belongs to the Valencian people of Malferit’s. In 1880, Bautista Apartici, Ricardo Sanz and Enrique Ortiz founded the Liquor Factory of Aielo. They began to create products and to present them at fairs in Europe. APARICI was the ‘commercial’ of the company and the person in charge of showing its products by the different countries, being the coca kola one of them. Kola nuts Your ingredients? Coca leaf, Kola nut and water. Very similar to those of the subsequent Coca-Cola. In 1885, Appear took the Kola Coca to a fair in Philadelphia, where he presented it and distributed some samples to local commercials. At present, that would be done with a product already patented so that no one can raise your idea, but it was not the practice more than a century ago. A year later, Pemberton presented in Atlanta its coca leaf formula, kola and water nut. Carbonated, where appropriate. Chance or plagiarism? Ayelo distillers itself leaves the question on its website. “In 1885, the Kola-Coca travels to the United States and, just a year later, the pharmacist John Steve Pemberton launched in the United States the famous Coca-Cola Answering the question is complicated, especially when we talk about an era in which the information was not transmitted with the same speed as now and it should be assumed that the connection between Pemberton and some of the commercials that received the cola coca sample. From Ayelo distilleries, they are clear. Juan Micó is the last owner of Ayelo distilleries and, as we read in ABC Newsconsiders that Coca-Cola was invented in Aielo. “At that time it was easy to copy a drink. The patents were only recorded if the product was successful,” he says, stating that when they patented the Kola Coca formula in Spain in 1903, the Coca-Cola already had a way won to become an icon. And Coca-Cola appeared Decades after patenting the drink, it was Coca-Cola who was interested in the one prepared in Aielo. The multinational wanted to enter Spain with a factory in the 40s, but could not do it directly due to the laws of registered trademarks because there was already a registered tail. That of Aielo. As we read in SpiegelCoca-Cola executives visited Malferit in 1953 and closed an agreement to acquire the rights of the name to Joaquín Juan Sanchis, who was the owner of the factory at that time. And, that same year, Coca-Cola began the conquest of the territory from its bottling company in Barcelona. There are no official records of the agreement, but there is talk of a sum between 30,000 and 50,000 pesetas to exploit the brand in Spain. A lot of money for the time, as Micó said, but a misery if compared to how things would have been, instead of money, they had accepted shares or a small percentage of sales. “We would be millionaires,” says Juan. And at that time of the firm it was when Distillerías Ayelo stopped preparing his ‘syrup’. At least the alcohol without alcohol, since that market belonged to Coca-Cola. The one they continued preparing was Kola coca nut With alcoholic content. 21st, specifically, and in Your description A “will” be or not be the origin of the Coca-Cola? “ Today, Micó’s family directs the business, and does so for a romantic issue, so as not to let that curious story die that will survive forever. The Valencian municipality is clear that Coca-Cola was invented there and, as we read in The countryIn 2018, Mayor José Luis Pinter commented that they had sent a letter to the multinational to use the link between Malferit and Coca-Cola’s year to take advantage of it. “Our goal is to see this project willingly, so that the people are known. We do not pursue anything else,” said the mayor of the town. Therefore, economic rights were not requested, but to take advantage of that link to underpin the story about the relationship between the municipality and the Coca-Cola. From the company they responded, but surely not the way in which the neighbors would have liked. They just said that the brand has transcended so much that “It is property of everyone” and that it is a pride that there are similar stories in different parts of the world.

The Inditex formula for Zara’s success is not new. The new thing is that they tell her

by

Inditex has put numbers and letters to its operation. His CEO, Óscar García Maceiras, presented the group’s formula in an academic forum, according to Expansion: (m + c + s + p) · v Fashion, client, sustainability and people, all multiplied by values. The idea is simple: translate half a century of business evolution into an understandable structure. And give clues about what is coming. The context. Zara turns 50 with difficult figures to discuss: more than 38,000 million income and 6,000 million benefit. But the environment has changed to the point of rethinking priorities before The rise of online sale. It is no longer enough for the model to work; Now you also have to explain it. And do it well. The formula does not provide revelation, but a signal: large companies not only compete in products, also in a story. And in a sector under greater pressure than ever – by its environmental footprint, its consumption model, its public exhibition – that story has to be clear, assumed and, above all, credible. In detail: m: Fast but reactive fashion. c: Customer as a sensor and motor. s: Sustainability as a process, not as achievement. p: People as the basis of the system. v: Values ​​that cohesive culture and direction. It is a frame. And as such, more useful to align inwards than to convince out. Between the lines. The equation comes at a time where companies need to seem as transparent as efficient. Converting complexity into formula is a form of story control: decides what to tell before others count on you. The relevant thing is not that Inditex has a formula, but that it believes it is necessary to communicate it. In that is the key: fashion is no longer defended only in catwalks or balances, also in the frames that build their legitimacy.

Irobot returns to the load with a new incorporation to its most advanced range. THE MAX 705 VAC ROOM arrives by muscle: nothing less than 13,000 suction pathe highest figure ever reached by a brand model. To get an idea, it is 180 times more powerful than the models of the 600 seriesa line that has been in the market for years and has been one of the most popular of the Irobot catalog. The American manufacturer, that was in conversations with Amazon for a possible purchase that finally did not come to fruitionHe wants to highlight this power as his great asset, although in the market there are equally ambitious rivals. He Roborock Qrevo Curv reaches 18,500 pa, and the DREame X50 Ultra Complete Raise the rod to some imposing 20,000 pa. More power implies better cleaning?

Thanks to the Dirt Detet system, it is also able to identify the areas with greater accumulation of dirt and repeat passes in those areas automatically. Of course, who looks for a scrubbing model must look at other catalog options. This model does not include a mop or system for cleaning wet spots. Where it does stand out is in connectivity. It can be controlled from the new Home Romba application, which allows you to schedule cleaning By room or specific areasadjust between four power levels and activate additional passs. It can also start from the robot itself or through voice commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Home and, at the end of the year, also with Apple Home through the Matter standard.

Slide Marvel’s formula to break the MCU crisis

by

Marvel has been trying to Reconfigure the MCU To show off the strength that viewers enjoyed in ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Endgame’. The study, owned by Walt Disney Company, has several bets on the way to achieve it. These include projects such as’Avengers: Doomsday‘ and ‘The fantastic 4: first steps‘. In the case of the first, The strategy goes through a kind of “Nostalgia Operation”designed to reconquer the most veteran fans with heroes who already lived their moment of glory. If we focus on the second, which is what concerns us in this article, the axis seems to revolve around recovering a classic and recognizable villain of comics. The threat of Galactus in ‘The Fantastic 4: First Steps’ “Four brave astronauts travel to space and return changed forever,” Pray the start of the trailer published Thursday. So, ‘The fantastic 4: first steps‘It presents us with the characters already in their stage of heroes, in an elegant retrofuturist atmosphere that, in principle, seems loaded with optimism, although things begin to twist quickly. Reed (Pedro Pascal), his wife Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), his younger brother Johnny (Joseph Quinn) and his friend Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) enjoy a relative peace and tranquility, especially after the news of the prompt arrival of Reed and Sue. However, a threat lands from space, challenging the entire planet without prior notice. Galactus, the consumer of worlds, now is sightd by planet Earth, and has sent to its herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner)to launch a warning. “Are we safe?” Asks a journalist at the fantastic 4, to which Reed responds with a tense “I don’t know”, although later he does not hesitate to tell the planet that they will do their best to protect it. Galactus’s threat seems large enough for heroes to doubt their ability to stop it and, probably, end up trapped in their destruction spiral. Above all this falls a special pressure on Reed, which drags some guilt for having forced the limits of space and, perhaps, having caused the arrival of the threat. Before their official arrival at theaters, the fantastic four starred in a first film produced in 1994 that never reached. More than a decade later, the group finally landed on the big screen with The 2005 version directed by Tim Storywith Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffud and Michael Chiklis in front. Although he did not conquer critics, he worked well at the box office and gave rise to a sequel in 2007. The story returned to theaters in 2015 with a new cast: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. This time, neither the critical reception nor the collection accompanied. Now, all eyes are put in the new installment, which promises to recover the lost pulse. Its premiere in Spanish cinemas is scheduled for July 25. Images | The Walt Disney Company In Xataka | ‘A Minecraft movie’ is becoming such a large phenomenon that is causing disturbances in cinemas

Thousands of Latin Americans have entered Europe with a formula that Italy has just suppressed: the great -grandparents

by

A fact to place the measure taken by the Italian government in context. Only in 2024, the figure of new Italian citizens who registered through the consulates of Argentina and Brazil registered 30,000 and 20,000 cases respectively. The majority did it in the way that is being done for decades and that has allowed it to emigrate hundreds of thousands of people from South America to Europe: by the ancestry of blood. Italy just put the formula. Restrict citizens. The European nation has decided to considerably cut citizens by ancestry (Jus Sanguinis), limiting it exclusively to those who have Italian parents or grandparentsthus eliminating the possibility that for decades allowed distant descendants, even fourth or fifth generation, obtaining it if they could try an Italian ancestor alive after 1861. The decision, announced by the Giorgia Meloni government and Executed immediately Without prior notice, it seeks to stop the institutional collapse generated by the Application floodmostly from South America, where millions of people with Italian roots have tried to access a European passport. According to Antonio TajaniForeign Minister, the measure responds to “years of abuse”, since many applicants do not have real links with Italy and seek citizens only to facilitate international mobility. Prove to be bilingual. Apparently, the measure also forces applicants to demonstrate Italian language mastery through an official exam, having resided at least Three years in Italyand undergo a centralized process with face -to -face interviews, eliminating traditional management through consulates. Plus: They must comply with obligations such as voting, paying taxes and renewing documents so as not to lose nationality. In addition, the transmission of citizenship by marriage hardens, demanding two years of joint residence in Italy, while the application cost is has doubled at 600 euros. On the other hand, the Italians who reside outside and do not comply with these obligations run the risk of losing their citizenship, which even affects their descendants.
