“Racist comments will be removed by the moderators of the page. A child who comes into the world is a blessing and must be welcomed as such, without unnecessary and damaging polemics in any democratic debate. Let’s try to start 2021 with a new step ”. And then: “Anyone born in Liguria is Ligurian!” Thus the governor of Liguria Giovanni Toti on his Facebook page after racist comments about the photo of a newborn of Nigerian origin in the arms of his mother immediately after birth, a shot previously published by Toti himself to welcome ” the first Ligurians born in 2021 “. “.
“Morena was born in La Spezia shortly after midnight – Toti wrote -, little Louis was born in Imperia and from the San Martino hospital I get a photo of Greta, first-born in Genoa. You are our hope, our future, the strength to not give up in this new year that has just begun. Welcome to the world, little best wishes to your families in my name and throughout Liguria. “
The case is also fed by the words of Edoardo Rixi, Ligurian deputy of the Lega, head of the Infrastructure and Transport department of Matteo Salvini’s party: “That girl is not Ligurian, our position is clear and well known, the League is in against ius alone and until the day before yesterday this was also Toti’s position, “Rixi told AdnKronos.
“She – reiterates the Northern League – is not a citizen of the State, if the ius soli arrives it will be, but for now it is not.” Rixi adds: “There is nothing against it, but I must say that I do not appreciate the fact that newborn babies are involved and used for political comment.”
“We hope that Liguria can give perspectives to many – concludes the leader of the League – but we, as the majority in the region, are against the ius soli”.
The Ligurian senator of the 5 Star Movement Elena Botto also intervenes in the matter: “The comments that appeared under a post from the president of the Liguria Region about the first child born in Liguria are ignoble, of infinite baseness and ignorance. Unfortunately this horrible spectacle it was not enough: for Adding to the burden, the policy dealt with the person of the deputy Edoardo Rixi who mounted the controversy by stating that this little girl, born of a Nigerian mother, is not Ligurian, “he said in a note.
“Among other things, while Rixi puts her in ‘Italians first’ on the one hand, on the other she doesn’t say a word against those racist comments. That girl and her parents don’t deserve so much shit on this day, in a single day. Unbelievable beyond any language, color, religion or nationality ”, concludes the pentastellata.
