(ANSA) - TURIN, FEBRUARY 3 - A young Chinese woman traveling from Cuneosta on board a bus to Turin was made to feel unwelcome, and thus pushed to go ashore. Laragazza, who would not have a good command of Italian, did not file a complaint but reported it to the Chinese community of Turin. The event, which occurred in recent days, emerged during the mayor Chiara Appendino's lunch in a Chinese restaurant in Turin.
"I was told the case of a girl who was made to feel unwelcome and pushed to get off a bus - said mayor Appendino -. But in Turin we had no other episodes of racism and I want to thank the Turin people for this.
This attention that we are actually calling today "." In Turin - reiterated the first citizen - there have been no episodes of racism, but the period of coexistence that is happening globally I think will not be short.
I therefore invite everyone to take the necessary precautions but not to fall into psychosis ".
