| Subject: Funny: Black Italian minister Kyenge suffers banana insult Sat Jul 27, 2013 6:49 pm | |
| Italian politicians have reacted with anger after the country's first black minister had bananas thrown at her during a political rally.
Integration Minister Cecile Kyenge, who has suffered racial abuse in the past, dismissed the act as "a waste of food".
But Environment Minister Andrea Orlando said on Twitter he felt the "utmost indignation" over the incident.
Earlier this month an Italian senator apologised after saying Ms Kyenge reminded him of an orangutan.
Congolese-born Ms Kyenge was speaking at a Democratic Party (PD) rally in Cervia on Friday when an unidentified spectator threw bananas towards the stage, narrowly missing her.
Italian police say they are trying to find the culprit.
