"Italian opposition leaders have called on Giorgia Meloni’s rightwing
government to ban neofascist groups after a chilling video emerged of hundreds
of men making fascist salutes during an event in Rome.
The crowd was gathered outside the former headquarters of the Italian Social
Movement (MSI), a neofascist party founded after the second world war which
eventually morphed into Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party.
The annual gathering, on Via Acca Larentia in the east of the city on Sunday,
commemorates the 46th anniversary of the killing of three militants from the
now defunct party’s youth wing.
In the video, which was widely shared online, the men are standing in rows
making the stiff-armed salute and shouting “present” three times. A militant
then shouts “For all fallen comrades!” – a typical rallying cry of
neofascists."
