“No fascist resurgence” –

The story of Antonio Scurati, the writer who was supposed to recite a monologue for April 25th on “What will be…” and whose presence was cancelled, has restarted the usual chorus of the left, shouting for fascism. An avalanche of accusations have overwhelmed Rai and Giorgia Meloni’s government for alleged censorship. But the facts, as explained by the director of in-depth analysis of the public television service, speak clearly. “I believe it is appropriate not to confuse editorial aspects with those of an economic and contractual nature”, he recalled yesterday. And Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has now intervened on the issue.

Among the government’s allies “I don’t think anyone has said they are nostalgic for fascism. No representative of the majority. It seems to me that everyone has said, including the Prime Minister, that it is a closed and condemned chapter. It seems to me has always used very clear words from this point of view”, he said on the sidelines of the opening of Forza Italia’s electoral campaign for the European elections in Milan. “It seems to me that it is a closed chapter – remarked Tajani – it is an issue that was closed eighty years ago. There is no danger of fascist resurgence in our country”.
