Racist insults, some also politically rambling, hyperbolic but undoubtedly racist comparisons with the position of the governor of Liguria Giovanni Toti who, to greet the first-born in Liguria, wrote a post attaching a photo of a Nigerian girl in the arms of her mother, born little after 3 in the morning in Genoa.
Such was the fury that Toti intervened in the comments to reiterate that “those born in Liguria are Ligurians” while administrators have removed the clearly racists from the comment list. Some remain like “After the mandatory vaccination, ¿lo ius soli? Renzi awaits you with open arms! “, Or” Born in Liguria, but Somali or African despite everything … “and” It is not true that anyone born in Italy is Italian. What do these gentlemen from Liguria have? But what are you saying? or “Stupid and hypocritical pietism” but also an incredible “if I was born in the South Pole, I was certainly not a penguin by birthright.” Finally, more strictly political comments: “Are you separating yourself from your allies?”
Lega: “It’s not Italian” – “Anyone born in our territory to foreign parents cannot be defined as Italian or Ligurian. Greetings and welcome to all newborns in Liguria in 2021, but we reiterate that to be Italian and Ligurian it is necessary to embark on a well-defined path and subsequently apply for citizenship, in accordance with the current provisions. Not to Ius soli. “Thus, the regional leader of the League, Stefano Mai, comments on the position of the president of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, who greets the birth of a son of Nigerian parents.
“With the ruling of the Lega in Liguria and, hopefully soon, in Rome – Mai added – it will never happen that the acquisition of Italian citizenship occurs as a simple consequence of the legal fact of being born in Italy.
We need to defend our traditions and our identity. Therefore, the transmission to the descendants of the parents’ citizenship, based on the descendants and not the place of birth, is fundamental ”.
Response from Toti – “It is surprising and bitter and in fact a little perplexed that someone, in a year like this, is capable of generating controversy even in a post welcoming a child born in a night full of pain and hope into the world. In the country with the lowest birth rate in the world, a new child is a good thing, regardless of their nationality and the color of their skin. “This was stated by the president of Liguria, Giovanni Toti.
“Greta was born in a Ligurian hospital, with Ligurian doctors and nurses. His mother has a health card from our country in her pocket. I did not ask the San Martino Directorate if she was an immigrant, naturalized, an Italian citizen or a citizen of another country. Frankly, I don’t give a damn in this case. Greta was born here, she will go to school here, she will grow up here and as a worker she will have the same rights and duties as other workers. And the same social rights and duties. This has nothing to do with the political rights granted by citizenship, whether it comes from the Ius soli or from other instruments of law. The national Parliament will take care of this, and certainly not our region. If Parliament ever decides to address this issue (I would say that today, frankly, we have other priorities), I hope that all parties will make it aware of the sensitivity of the issue and the sophisticated civil, social, legal and economic implications that it entails. And without the nasty approximations and subtexts that I read and heard today in the absurd debate about a newborn! “Toti concludes.
