Italy’s first black minister has had a tough political baptism
Aug 31st 2013 | ROME |From the print edition
 
FEW politicians have had as horrid an introduction to public life as 
Cécile Kyenge, who was awarded the racial integration portfolio in 
Enrico Letta’s left-right coalition in April. The latest in a barrage of 
insults came in a Facebook posting from Cristiano Za Garibaldi, the 
deputy mayor of Diano Marina, a small town on the Italian Riviera. He 
implied that Ms Kyenge, an eye doctor, frequented an area used by 
prostitutes. On August 25th he apologised, blaming “stress”.
 
Other abuse has come from more senior politicians. In July a leading 
member of the Northern League, Roberto Calderoli, a former cabinet 
minister and current deputy Speaker of the Senate, said Ms Kyenge 
reminded him of an “orang-utan”. The party’s founder, Umberto Bossi, 
denied it was racist but said Ms Kyenge had “pissed people off”.
 
 
The grounds for that irritation are a matter of debate. The minister had 
issued a statement at the start of the new football season, expressing 
the hope that it would be free of the racist chanting that has dogged 
such black players as the AC Milan (and Italy) striker, Mario Balotelli. 
The comments on the website of Corriere della Sera, Italy’s 
biggest-selling daily, were overwhelmingly negative. “No Congolese 
immigrant is going to tell me how to behave in my own home or pass laws 
that destroy my country,” was one of the milder ones.
 
Ms Kyenge has stayed calm, But she has expressed concern for the safety 
of her two daughters. After the Northern League’s leader, Roberto 
Maroni, had ignored her suggestion that he should condemn the insults 
his members fling at her, she pulled out of a debate at a League festival.
 
The League is determined to block Ms Kyenge’s priority: to make 
citizenship dependent on birth, not blood ties to Italy. That would make 
it easier for the children of immigrants to acquire citizenship. The 
League’s erstwhile ally in government, the PdL, now part of Mr Letta’s 
coalition, is likely to support it.
 
The row has exposed the hollowness of the League’s claim that it is not 
xenophobic, only against illegal immigrants. It would be hard to find a 
shinier success story than Ms Kyenge’s. She entered Italy legally in 
1983 to study medicine (though she lived illegally in the country for 
about a year after a university scholarship she had been led to expect 
failed to materialise). In 1994, she married an Italian engineer and 
became a citizen.
 
The shameful treatment of the country’s first black minister, and the 
limited condemnation of it, not only hurts Italy’s image. It also jars 
with Italians’ widespread belief that they are free of racism. Using 
data from 2005-07, the World Values Survey found 11.1% of Italians 
saying they did not want neighbours of a different race, against 4.9% in 
Britain. Even among Spaniards, who have had a similar experience of 
rapid, recent and largely unauthorised immigration, the proportion was 
6.9%. Ms Kyenge has a tough job ahead of her, in every sense.
