As an Italian the government can’t really take away my citizenship (there are only 2 cases in which it can and both involve working for a foreign government and refusing to cease to work for it). And with my citizenship I can work everywhere in the EU. In fact I have been living for the past 15 years in France and I have no intention to get the French citizenship.

I'm not sure about Italy. But right now in France the situation is that the French government certainly can take away anyone's citizenship, without much justification. They just, at the moment, don't do it. You have to be an "enemy of the state", but there is no definition what that means. I find it very hard to believe this is merely an oversight.

And like I said, all it would take is a change in the executive.
