Attitudes last seen in the 20-year
reign of Italy's Fascist regime are returning today, the head of
business group Assonime said Tuesday.
"Exacerbated political tensions have returned," said
Innocenzo Cipolletta, formerly head of industrial employers
federation Confindustria.
"Intolerance often prevails over a willingness to (do) the
common good," said Cipolletta in an address to the biennial
assembly of the group.
Premier Giuseppe Conte and Economy Minister Giovanni Tria
were among the audience.
"We are sadly growing accustomed to acts of racism and
prevarication, while slogans and attitudes of the darkest period
of our country's history have been dusted off", said Cipolletta.
He said "we thought we had definitively put the Fascist
20-year rule into the history museums".
