It started in the town of Lucca this week and spread to Lombardy and its regional capital, Milan, this campaign against foreign food. The center right government is trying to ‘preserve tradition’ by ‘making the Italians eat Italian food’. Luca Zaia, the Minister of Agriculture has never eaten a kebab or a non Italian dish in his life, he even refuses to eat a pineapple.
“Davide Boni, a councillor in Milan for the Northern League, which also opposes the building of mosques in Italian cities, said that kebab shop owners were prepared to work long hours, which was unfair competition.”
This would be funny if they weren’t serious. Article here.
