09 October 2019Aboubakar Soumahoro, Italo-Ivorian activist and union leader of the USB, engaged in the struggle for the rights of the laborers, has denounced on Twitter and Facebook what happened to him today in Rome: "'YOU GO IN FRONT OR YOU CAN NOT GET ON MY TAXI ', the taxi driver told me this morning in Rome, refusing to let me get into his vehicle. access had been denied a few minutes earlier. In the face of this difference in treatment, I turned back and pointed out this injustice to the taxi driver. These differentiated and discriminatory attitudes must be strongly stigmatized ".

The trade unionist also adds: "I am sure that this driver represents the minority of thousands of taxi drivers who work laboriously and daily with professionalism. A report will be made to the competent bodies". The social commentaries are all solidarity and brand the "racism" episode.
