Italian MP Gianluca Buonanno, from the anti-immigrant Northern League ejected For Waving a Fish Video

Italian MP Gianluca Buonanno, from the anti-immigrant Northern League ejected For Waving a Fish Video



As MPs debated a potential reform, Gianluca Buonanno, from the anti-immigrant Northern League, pulled a sea bass from under his bench and started brandishing it around.

“When I heard about this debate, I thought it was an April Fools' joke,” he said.

He went on to say that , by debating whether to allow these immigrants to live legally in Italy, the government was neglecting the country’s pensioners, who, in order to get by, eat “anchovies and sardines”.

“This is for the House Speaker, who eats sea bass, while being moralistic about others, our pensioners and our unemployed.”
