This is what is foreseen by the Municipality of Montorio al Vomano , in the province of T eramo , led by the mayor of Forza Italia Fabio Altitonante, and which has aroused the indignation of the opposition councilors Eleonora Magno and Andrea Guizzetti of “Montorio Guarda Avanti”.

"Montorio is not this country - they write in a note - Here coexistence with immigrant communities has always been peaceful. Montorio is a welcoming country . 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 ".

THE NOTICE - On the Municipality website, the public notice foresees as admission requirements for the bonus for "Free school bus transport" residents whose children "are enrolled in schools in the country and use the school transport service". 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 As opposition counselors we will write a formal letter to the mayor to ask for the provision to be withdrawn.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 ".
