Democratic Party (PD) Secretary Elly
Schlein on Monday led opposition outrage at the Fascist salutes
made on Sunday by participants at a ceremony commemorating the
murder of two right-wing militants during Italy's 'Years of
Lead' of political violence in the 1970s and 80s.
The salutes were made during a ceremony recalling the Acca
Larentia massacre in which two members of the youth wing of the
neo-fascist Italian Social Movement (MSI), Franco Bigonzetti
and Francesco Ciavatta, were shot dead outside the party's Rome
headquarters.
"Rome, January 7, 2024. And it seems like 1924," Schlein said on
social media in a post with a photo of the Fascist salutes.
"We will present a question in parliament to (Interior) Minister
(Matteo) Piantedosi.
"What happened is not acceptable.
"Neofascist organizations must be dissolved, as stated by the
Constitution".
