Conflict între bengalezi și administrația din Veneția / Planul unei moschei a fost respins de către autorități / „Suntem gata să ieșim în stradă. Blocăm tot sectorul turistic”. Primarul: „Mai întâi să demonstreze că s-au integrat”

A conflict has erupted in Venice between local authorities and the Bangladeshi Muslim community over a mosque construction permit. The community, consisting of over 20,000 members, threatens a general strike that could disrupt key economic sectors. Community leader Prince Howlader warns that without approval for the mosque, they are prepared to protest, impacting major industries like Fincantieri and tourism. Mayor Simone Venturini cites integration issues and the project's scale as reasons for denial, while the community argues for equal treatment compared to other religious groups. Political reactions are mixed, with calls for dialogue and accusations of hypocrisy against the mayor.
