Sforzini, president of the Vannacci Research Centre: “Fascism in the Fn? A chilling atmosphere. The general should look to the future”

We risk legitimising the worst monsters of the 20th century,” says Sforzini, who disapproves of the Fn programme. “Immigration and security cannot be used as pretexts to introduce a sort of Catholic sharia and to combat Islamic fundamentalism with another form of fundamentalism.”

Following the disagreements over the party’s overly conservative programme, and the (veiled) accusations levelled at the ideologue Gasperini, here is the row between the “liberals” and Lavarini’s far-right faction: “The day will come when serious scholars will be able to speak freely about the Second World War and the great European national-popular revolution...”
