Kill the n**ger daubed on wall of family who adopted African

(ANSA) - Milan, February 20 - "Kill the n**ger" was scrawled on the exterior wall of a family who have adopted an African man at Melegnano near Milan earlier this week.
    The phrase was accompanied by a swastika.
    The family, who have hosted the 22-year-old Senegalese for two years, said this was not the first incident of the kind.
    "What is happening in so many cases today in Italy is also amplified by politicians like (Interior Minister and anti-migrant League leader Matteo) Salvini," said the mother of Bakary Dandio, Angela Bedoni, who adopted him with her husband Paolo Pozzi.
    "We must build bridges, not close ports," she said referring to Salvini's closing Italian ports to NGO migrant rescue ships.
    She also said Salvini's recent migrants and security decree "is putting many people into difficulties today. And it is a question of culture too. It is important to understand what happened in Italy before 1945 and today". Salvini replied by saying "I respect the pain of a mother, I embrace her son and I condemn all forms of racism.
    "And the lady should respect the demand for security and legality that is coming from Italians, that I make concrete as a minister.
    "Blocking migrant smugglers and their accomplices, installing CCTV cameras and expelling criminals is simply justice, it isn't racism".
