03:04Italy: Some residents unhappy as migrant children readmitted to school canteen
Migrant children were readmitted to their school canteen in the Italian city of Lodi on Tuesday, after a controversial regulation from the city council sparked outrage for separating them from Italian pupils.
The city regulation required that migrant parents submit documentation from their country of origin regarding their income and wealth, as part of means-tested benefits for discounts on canteen and school-bus services.
In the past weeks, migrant parents resorted to packed lunches from home, as a consequence of the ban.
Despite the negative publicity to the city, some local residents were happy with the discriminatory regulation.
