An Italian far-right group unfurled a racist banner against Congolese-born Integration Minister Cecile Kyenge, who is Italy's first black minister, local media reported on Thursday.
"Kyenge, Go Back to Congo" read a banner put up by the group in the central city of Macerata outside an office of the minister's leftist Democratic Party.
The group, Forza Nuova, said in a statement: "You cannot sell off Italian citizenship to elements that are foreign to our culture, just as we cannot force citizens to applaud a multi-racial society."
