Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing
Brothers of Italy (FdI) party said Monday it was "light years
away" from the far-right militants who made Fascist salutes on
the 46th anniversary Sunday of a far-left militant attack in
Rome on January 7, 1978 that led to the deaths of three youth
members of the neoFascist Italian Social Movement (MSI), a
precursor of FdI.
Depity House Speaker and FdI heavyweight Fabio Rampelli stressed
that the party had not taken part in the ceremony where hundreds
of militants made the salutes and had instead organised two
alternative ceremonies marking the deaths outside the then MSI
HQ in a street called Acca Larentia, after a Roman fertility
goddess.
"The FdI has nothing to do with it, we don't take part in that
type of demonstrration", he said.
