A Democratic Party (PD) MP
from Bologna on Friday berated city authorities' decision to
give MEP Matteo Salvini from the xenophobic, separatist and
anti-immigrant Northern League party permission to visit a Roma
camp on Saturday.
"Salvini's move is a dangerous provocation...that will only
foment hatred," said MP Andrea De Maria.
"There is nothing worse than blowing on the fires of
intolerance in times of economic crisis and social suffering,"
he said.
Salvini, who once reportedly called for immigrants to
travel in separate compartments, is slated to visit the camp
Saturday along with city councillor and fellow League member
Lucia Borgonzoni, who was slapped in the face by a Roma woman on
a visit to the camp earlier this week.
