The cabinet, at the proposal of
Regional Affairs Minister Francesco Boccia, on Thursday
challenged a Friuli law that allegedly discriminates against
migrants.
"Some measures on the immigration issue appear
discriminatory", it said.
And many measures, it said, "appear to exceed the region's
competence".
Friuli Governor Massimiliano Fedriga, of the anti-migrant
League party, said "All the norms challenged by the government
have been passed by my region, I'm happy to bother these
traitors".
He said he would appeal to the Constitutional Court.
