ROME -- Italy's far-right Forza Nuova party left three mannequins covered in fake blood at the front door of an administrative office in Rome on Wednesday in the latest attack on Italy's first black minister.
Integration Minister Cecile Kyenge, who was born in Democratic Republic of Congo, has been the target of repeated racist attacks since taking office in April.
Forza Nuova posted pictures of the mannequins on its Facebook page, along with comments by a spokesman saying the protest was aimed at stopping the minister's campaign to make it easier for immigrants to acquire Italian citizenship.
"Immigration is the genocide of peoples. Kyenge resign!" read fliers bearing the Forza Nuova symbol that were scattered around the mannequins.
