There was racism and perhaps
terrorism too in last month's shooting of six African migrants
in Macerata in revenge fo the murder and dismemberment of an
18-year-old Italian woman allegedly by a Nigerian drug pusher,
Democratic Party leader Matteo Renzi said Thursday.
"There was devastating racism, and perhaps terrorism too,"
the PD leader, adding that assailant Luca Traini, a rightist
activist, "could also have killed someone in the PD office" when
he shot at it in his drive-by spree.
Renzi added that "the Italians will recognise our good sense"
in playing down migrant fears and highlighting the risk of a
neoFascist resurgence after Macerata.
He said that anti-migrant League leader Matteo Salvini was
not the "moral commissioner" of the shooting but had used
"devastating tones" in his rising anti-migrant invective over
the years.
