Muslim Velivevano Confuses Italian Right
Local elections in Vicenza, an industrial city in northern Italy, revealed divisions within the ruling right-wing parties regarding immigration, following the nomination of Muslims on their electoral lists, which sparked controversy among party supporters. The far-right "League" party's list lost with a vote share of 21.45% in the first round of the election and was eliminated in the second round, while left-wing parties increased their votes to 34.31%. The campaign saw debates over the nomination of two Muslim women; one of them wears a hijab, in an attempt to challenge stereotypes, amid internal disagreements within the party over support and stance on religious pluralism.
