Using a pad to put on brown greasepaint, the member of the Northern League said: “At the end of the day, maybe in this country to achieve anything we need to be a bit darker.


“I say we can all put makeup on and make ourselves a bit darker and then we can all go round painted black and say we want the same help that non-European Union citizens get,’ reported Metro newspaper.


'We can all go round painted black and say we want the same help that non-European Union citizens get,' Buonanno said while donning blackface.

Buonanno went on to criticize the policies of the Italian government, which has the country’s first black cabinet member, Cecile Kyenge, reported Metro.


Last year, Kyenge was likened to an orangutan by another Northern League member and had bananas thrown at her during a political rally.


Buonanno apparently has form: He previously tried to enter a court wearing a burqa to make a case against women bearing the burqa and niqab.
