Highly unlikely, since Giorgio Napolitano is very popular and is the closest a president of the Republic can get to a (british) monarch in matters of respect. Also, Cecile Kyenge is very, very far from "ruling the country": her ministry is the Ministry for Integration - that means, since there are immigrants, let's try and make their stay in Italy nice and fair. And since she was an immigrant (she came in Italy to study medicine) and has acquired over the years italian citizenship, she was the most suitable person for that place. Yet there are some fuckwits who like to insult her because she is black and who want her to give up. Fortunately, they are a small minority. Unfortunately, they are a loud one.Well in no way I encourage disorder anywhere, and throwing bananas, eggs and etc is a type of protest I've always disliked. But if they are mad at anyone, it should be the president who has appointed a black person as minister.
Besides, not everyone wants a foreigner or even a native ethnic minority to be a person of power in governmental instituitons.
Wait... So you're saying in an electoral, parliamentary government, minorities should not have representation? Let alone, equal representation... They just don't matter? If they can't have representation in government, what or who is protecting their rights, interests, and liberties?
