Italy mayor wants separate buses for Roma (ethnically Indian) people
2014-10-31
[Canberra Times] Rome: An attempt by an Italian mayor to create a separate bus route for Roma people has sparked outrage among politicians, who compared the move to apartheid in South Africa and segregation in the United States.

Claudio Gambino, the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) mayor of Borgaro Torinese, said this week he wants separate buses because Roma people who live in a camp of around 600 inhabitants on the outskirts of the northern Italian town "have been afflicting us for over 20 years".

"To guarantee the security of our citizens we need two buses. One for citizens, the other for Roma people," he was quoted as saying by Italian media on Friday, adding that buses were plagued by theft and petty violence.

Town councillor Luigi Spinelli of the Left, Ecology and Freedom party (SEL) has supported the motion - to the disgust of his party's leader Nichi Vendola, who told La Stampa daily on Saturday that "giving people different rights is called apartheid".
