From "Il Piccolo", Saturday, April 13, 2002
Forza Nuova is holding a counter-demonstration ahead of the Alpe-Adria gay symposium. The decision was made by the movement's regional director, Fabio Bellani, who announced that he had already invited the national leaders to the event. "The 'politically correct' offensive underway in Trieste continues," the Forza Nuova representative stated. "It is enriched by a new event that can, and should, be easily done without: the Alpe-Adria gay symposium, with participants from other European cities. Homosexuality is a disease that should not be publicized or flaunted. Italy and Europe need children, not homosexuals. While the traditional family (man, woman, children) is no longer understood as the founding institution of the nation, the birth rate and immigration invasions are on the rise, we are also faced with proclamations of 'cultural revolutions' such as gay pride events." And Forza Nuova announces that it will launch a campaign next week "for the defense of the people and the nation.".
The Alpe-Adria gay symposium has already been scheduled. Date and location: May 31, 5:30 p.m., Casa delle Culture, Via Orlandini 38.
On that occasion, representatives of gay associations from Ljubljana, Rijeka, Zagreb, and Klagenfurt will host a mega-conference that will pave the way for a series of events throughout the Triveneto region. The final Gay Pride parade will take place on June 8th in Padua. The initiatives were presented in recent days by Marco Reglia and Nicola Soia, leaders of the Circolo Arcobaleno.
