Anna Maria Cisint, far-right mayor of Monfalcone and candidate for the upcoming European Elections, is pictured during an interview with AFP in Monfalcone on April 26, 2024. Cisint was under the spotlights recently because she banned muslims from praying inside their two cultural centres. An administrative court in Trieste will rule on May 23, 2024 whether to uphold or strike down the mayor's ban. Immigrants make up a third of Monfalcone of 30,000 inhabitants outside Trieste, most of them Bangladeshi Muslims who began arriving in the late 1990s to build cruise-liners for Fincantieri, Europe's largest shipbuilder. Since November a fraction of the city's Muslims who have been banned from praying inside their two cultural centres by Monfalcone's far-right mayor. (Photo by Alberto PIZZOLI / AFP)
