(ANSA) – ROME, MAR 10 – A mannequin of Premier Giorgia Meloni doing a Fascist salute was burned at the end of an anti-fascist’ carnival at a town near Rieti north of Rome, spurring bipartisan condemnation and solidarity with the Italian government chief and leader of the rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party.
A video of the burning at Poggio Mirteto, accompanied by applause and choruses of “we are all anti-fascists”, went viral before being picked up by news outlets across Italy.
FdI Senate Whip Lucio Malan said the “extremely bad taste” incident was the “fruit of the climate of hatred that is fuelled by statements from various political exponents”, while the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) was among the opposition groups that voiced solidarity with Meloni. (ANSA).
