(ANSA) - Vatican City, November 8 - Pope Francis had an
audience with former Italian foreign minister Emma Bonino on

migrants, the Vatican said.
Bonino, 68, is a former leader of the Radical Party and
was involved in domestic campaigns for divorce and abortion in
the 1970s.
She was the European commissioner for health and consumer
affairs from 1995 to 1999 and foreign minister during the
centre-left government of Enrico Letta in 2013 and 2014.
Last year she said she was in remission after treatment
for lung cancer.
