It first happened to the führer, during the 1936 Nazi Olympic Games in Berlin, to see the triumph of a “coloured”, James “Jesse” Cleveland Owens. Actually, neither Hitler had to complain that day, but something different is happening right now in Italy.
Next April 2011 – just like every year – will take place in Padova the traditional marathon of Sant’Antonio (patron of the city) and, during the meetings for the event’s organization, a Lega Nord party council member asked to stop public financing to the marathon saying that it’s a competition just for Africans and non-EC immigrants in underpants!
North-East Italy is a stronghold for this conservative, Sinn Féin-like party, so there is not to be completely astonished by similar politician’s statements. The real good news consist in all the negative feedback received by this indecent purpose from all around Italy (North-East included!).
