(ANSA) - Rome, March 4 - An anti-migrant Carnival float has
caused a stir in Italy.
The float, featuring black-face characters on a boat saying
"we want wi fi" and "no pay rent" filed in a parade at Formello
near Rome on Sunday.
"Using a popular, joyous festival of pure entertainment to
deride and offend those arriving in Italy after overcoming
incredible sacrifices and at the risk of their lives is vulgar
and is a real instigation to racism," said the Lazio branch
secretary of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), Bruno
Astorre.
