After the crusade against “Muslim foreigners who usually enter the water with their clothes on” and prayer centers, here is the latest battle of the almost former mayor of Monfalcone (Gorizia) Anna Maria Cisint. In fact, before going to the European Parliament, Cisint, among the last measures as first citizen, also signed an order banning the game of cricket in her municipality. Offenders will be fined up to 100 euros, it is reported. The pressThe sport is played mainly by the local community in Bangladesh, but is also followed by more than two and a half billion people worldwide.
The order
The decision caused such a stir that even the BBC published a report on the measure. On the other hand, cricket is very dear to the English, they are the ones who exported it and made it successful in their overseas colonies. “If cricket is played in prohibited areas and poses a risk to public safety, it is incumbent upon the municipality to do its part by taking all necessary measures”, is the reason that justifies the ban imposed on Cisint.
