It comes after members of the party staged a walk out when she arrived for a meeting in the northern town of Cantu near Como. • It was the last straw for the Integration Minister who joined Enrico Letta's government in April. Since then she has faced almost daily racial slurs. • I call on the leader of the Northern League after recent events, after the attacks of recent days to say something, to make a strong statement about what happened, especially to guarantee my presence at another meeting which they are holding. In the absence of him responding I cannot guarantee my presence at that meeting, she said. • Earlier a Northern League official likened her to a gorilla in a Facebook post. The leader of the party stopped short of an apology. • The league does not make personal attacks, but fights against policy proposals such as her proposal on citizenship for foreigners - a big error, said Roberto Maroni leader Northern League. • • Find us on: • Youtube http://bit.ly/zr3upY • Facebook / euronews.fans • Twitter / euronews
