A Puglia woman has been
refused a flat near Milan because she is a southerner, the woman
said on social media, posting what the owner told her.
The 28-year-old was trying to rent a home at Robbeccheto con
Induno in the province of Milan.
According to the recording she made on her phone, the
leaseholder told her "for me southerners are southerners, even
in the year 4000, southerners, blacks and Roma are all the same,
I'm a racist, 100%".
When challenged by the young woman who said that she would
expose her, the older woman said "make sure you write and
publish that I'm a Salvini supporter, I'm with Matteo, with the
Captain", referring to anti-migrant Euroskeptic League party
leader and former interior minister Matteo Salvini.
The young woman gave her name as Deborah.
Her companion Laura told ANSA: "We haven't reported it yet
because it all happened yesterday afternoon, but we'll start
legal action on Monday, not to get money out of it but because
we are certain that there is the crime of discrimination".
