Antisemitism is more of a
problem for the Italian Left than the Right, anti-migrant
Euroskeptic League party leader Matteo Salvini said Wednesday
citing the case of a woman from a far-left 'social centre' squat
who has just been named Naples culture councillor and who
allegedly "believes that Israel is a Nazi country".
The Naples Jewish community has voiced concern over the
appointment of new Naples culture pointwoman Eleonora De Majo
saying she allegedly equates Zionism with Nazism.
De Majo responded by saying that "criticising Israel's
apartheid policy is not antisemitism".
De Majo, 31, belongs to a radical leftist group called Dema
which is rooted in anticapitalist and anarchist squats.
