"Mo ****** of natives". The sign that offends the disabled triggers the controversy

Facebook

"According to some mo ****** of autochthonous people (who have seen fit to make a complaint), we at Stuzzicheria di Mare would have built a platform of this kind, without having previously been allowed by the Municipality of Livorno (and certainly not free)". Thus the disability was used as an offense in a shock cartel with which Livorno restaurateurs wanted to respond to the protests of fellow citizens for the installation of a platform outside their premises.

The sign – the text of which was spread via social media by the same restaurant and then removed – continues: "Now the regret we have is this: unfortunately about 50-60 years ago medical science had not yet invented the Tri Test and the amniocentesis, otherwise we would have gladly advised the parents mentioned above to do it well and maybe repeat the exam, and then given the miserable results do not make anything right ”.

After numerous criticisms, the local Livorno has taken steps to eliminate the photo of the sign from its Facebook page. Meanwhile, the Municipality of Livorno has released a note in which it denounced the incident.

"The whole municipal administration – reads – joins the bewilderment to which so many people have been voiced in these hours, struck by the shameful message that appeared outside a restaurant in Venice". The note goes on: "It is unacceptable – the note goes on – that the condition of disability is evoked by someone as an offense. We want to condemn behaviors like these without appeal, which confirm the need to carry out a strong and determined commitment to overcome stereotypes and unbearable prejudices "
