Nationalist militias in Genoa. Controversy erupts.

  

Genoa, August 22 – Following the announcement on a popular social media page by Gaetano Saya, founder and leader of the Italian Nationalist Party (PNI) and the MSI, known in national news for having created a sort of parallel police force (the so-called DSSA), that he intends to begin recruiting "nationalist militias" in Genoa on September 24 and 25, the left is up in arms. In a statement, Stefano Ghio of the Circolo Proletari Comunisti Genova Promotion Committee writes: "The false institutional left in Genoa is not interested in preventing a fascist rally in the city where the commander of the occupation troops, General Gunter Meinhold, signed the act of surrender (at Villa Migone) directly before the representative of the National Liberation Committee, Communist Partisan Remo Scappini," the statement reads. "A major mobilization of the healthy segment of society, the anti-fascist segment, is needed to prevent this disgrace." Arcigay also made a public statement.
Ostilia Mulas, president of Arcigay 'L'Approdo' in Genoa, expressed her indignation in a statement: "We suspect that the choice of Genoa, a city awarded a gold medal of the Resistance where the Nazi-Fascists had to surrender unconditionally to the population, is not accidental," it reads. "We call on all democratic citizens, associations, movements, and parties that have at heart the defense of the Constitution and republican institutions to prevent this insulting gathering of Nazis whose program is a crusade against communists and "gypsies," foreigners, and homosexuals.".
“"It is extremely serious," Arcigay continues in its statement, "that this group, along with others, is active in Italy and, moreover, courted by certain political sectors.
Given the disastrous economic and moral condition of the country, we strongly advise against dismissing these phenomena as mere folkloristic manifestations. The president of the Democratic Party's Security and Defense forum was right to call for government intervention to prevent the Nazi-inspired rally and the dissemination of ideas inspired by racial hatred. They should take responsibility, after so many of them cultivated the very soil from which this filth emerged. (AGI)
