Raggi gets sexist insults over Roma flat

(ANSA) - Rome, May 8 - Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi had to be escorted away by police and was the target of a flurry of sexist insults after visiting a flat allocated to a Roma family on the outskirts of the Italian capital on Wednesday.
    Residents of the district, Casal Bruciato, have staged fresh protests against the allocation, saying a Roma woman should be "raped" and all Roma should be "hanged".
    The protesters shouted "shame on you", "dirty cow" and other heavy sexist insults at Raggi as she left the flat.
    A similar protest last year stopped a Roma family taking possession of their council-allocated flat in Casal Bruciato.
    Raggi responded by saying: "This family is the legitimate recipient of an accommodation.
    "They have a right to a home, that is the law.
    "Those who insult and threaten should look into their consciences".
