The secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, tries to press the “black danger” button, but a few words are enough for the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, to dismantle the usual sinister theorem. Remote back-and-forth takes place during question time in the House. “What worries us are the ambiguities of this right that is going backwards in relation to when it recognized fascism as ‘absolute evil’. Having a president of the Senate who tries to legitimize the Roman salute is an insult to those who gave their lives for democracy and resistance”, says Schlein speaking of the events in Acca Larentia last Sunday. “We do not believe in the Honorable Rampelli, they are not dissidents, but an organized pack that you have been walking with for years. Meloni’s silence, who cannot say a word of condemnation, is embarrassing. dissolution of neo-fascist organizations”, concludes the Democratic leader.
How does Piantedosi respond in the Chamber? “Regarding the new initiatives to be implemented for the dissolution of organizations of a subversive nature, I would like to remind you – said Piantedosi – that the particular complexity of the conditions provided for by the legislation in force is confirmed by the cases of limited application registered so far and by the circumstance of Governments, even supported by the political side of the Honorable Questioners, have never adopted initiatives in this direction”. In short, when the Democratic Party was in government – and not for a short time… – nothing was done to prohibit groups of extreme right, especially because the limits imposed by the Constitution have been the subject of debate for decades. Not to mention that the Acca Larentia event is repeated every year. In fact, to be more precise, with Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni the record number of participants: 2 thousand people, double this year.
