Italians Jews said Wednesday
they were "indignant" at the nomination of Pretoria economics
lecturer Lorenzo Fioramonti as the anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) industry minister because he supported "the
campaign of hatred and boycott against Israel".
Fioramonti's nomination "has aroused disquiet and indignation
in the Italian Jewish world", said Jewish community daily Pagine
Ebraiche 24.
"Fioramonti, it said, "even went so far as to refuse to
participate in an event in South Africa, where he teaches,
because the presence of Israeli Ambassador Arthur Lenk was
scheduled".
