The national president of
neo-fascist group CasaPound said Friday that a rally organized
in the town of Castano Primo, about 45 minutes northwest of
Milan, would take place this weekend despite the fact that the
mayor of the town revoked the group's authorization on Thursday.
"There are people coming from all over Italy, there are
important guests, there's an organisation that's been working
for a long time for this initiative, and at the last minute, the
day before, they revoke authorisation. You can't do that," said
Gianluca Iannone, adding that the rally would start Friday at 6
p.m. as scheduled and continue through Sunday.
On Friday the Milan Prefecture held a meeting of its
Provincial Committee for Order and Public Safety regarding the
CasaPound rally and said it had "taken note" of the revoked
authorisation "relative to the use of a marquee in the municipal
territory".
"The city of Castano Primo will inform judicial authorities
immediately of any violations of the measure, together with the
most opportune interventions," the Milan Prefecture said.
