Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo
Renzi clashed with the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S)
on Monday over a bill presented by a member of the ex-premier's
centre-left group to tighten up legislation against promoting
Fascism.
The M5S described the bill, which would build on the existing
crime of apology for Fascism, as "liberticide," saying it
sanctioned "merely laudatory conduct".
"Fascism was liberticide, not the law against apology for
Fascism," Renzi said on Facebook.
The right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party has also
criticised the bill as creating the crime of opinion.
