"The League's bill to reintroduce six months of civil or military service for 18-26 year-olds, on a regional basis and to be carried out exclusively in Italy, has been filed in the Chamber of Deputies (Lower House)," Salvini wrote on X.

"It is a form of civic education in the service of the community, of discipline, of attention to others and respect for oneself and for others that could have very positive effects," he added.

Italy had mandatory military service for men only until Dec. 31, 2004. -
