Italian lawmaker under fire for racist remark


Italy's unprecedented left-right government continues to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The most recent institutional mishap occurred when the vice-president of the Senate, Northern League Party's Roberto Calderoli said Integration minister looks like an orangutan.

Congo-born Cecile Kyenge is Italy's first black minister and has already been the target of many Northern League Party. Minister Kyenge has been the subject of racist abuse, mostly from the anti-immigrant Northern League party and far-right groups, since her appointment last March.
