This unacceptable discrimination affects people who have lived among us and with us for decades. They work here and here they pay. taxes. Their children play with our children and sit next to the desk in the same school. The school in which inclusion and solidarity are educated ".

And then " at least one of the two parents ”must have“ Italian citizenship or citizenship of one of the countries of the European Union ”and it will be necessary to be“ in compliance with municipal taxes ”.
"Even assuming that they are up to date with the payment of taxes, no benefits will be granted to non-Italian families , whether or not they are in a situation of need. As opposition counselors we will write a formal letter to the mayor to ask for the provision to be withdrawn. to modify an inequitable and discriminatory regulation - continues the note by Magno and Guizzetti - The citizens of this country can divide themselves on many things, become warm and take sides for different political visions, but they remain united on the ground of civilization and do not allow a so unjust provision. Humiliate the whole community ".
