Why would she ban her voters?

I was coming to ask why she'd punish her own people.

The Italian blackshirts are coming back. Almost to the year. History textbooks need to be pounded up their asses with a rubber mallet. :P

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Italian opposition leaders have called on Giorgia Meloni’s rightwing government to ban neofascist groups after a chilling video emerged of hundreds of men making fascist salutes during an event in Rome.

The annual gathering, on Via Acca Larentia in the east of the city on Sunday, commemorates the 46th anniversary of the killing of three militants from the now defunct party’s youth wing.

Benito Mussolini’s fascist regime seized power after the “march on Rome” in October 1922, and in April 1924 secured a resounding victory in general elections before extinguishing Italy’s multiparty system.

However, neofascist groups such as MSI, founded by Giorgio Almirante, a minister in Mussolini’s government, were able to circumvent the ban by using a different name and claiming to be new political forces.

However, after her government was formed, Ignazio La Russa, a Brothers of Italy co-founder and collector of fascist relics, was elected speaker of the upper house of parliament.

Galeazzo Bignami, a Brothers of Italy politician who was once photographed wearing a Nazi swastika armband, is a junior minister in Meloni’s government.
