A Jewish member of Italy’s parliament urged the country's Interior
Minister to curb the formal inception of an Italian version of Greece’s
extreme-right Golden Dawn party.
Alba Dorata Italia, or Golden Dawn Italy, was formed in Trieste in
November and has scheduled its constituent assembly for Dec. 21 in Rome.
The party uses the same ancient Greek logo as the Greek Golden Dawn,
which has been compared to a swastika, and its platform also reflects
anti-immigration and extreme nationalist positions.
In a statement Thursday, Emanuele Fiano, a lawmaker of the left-wing
Democratic Party, said he hoped that Interior Minister Annamaria
Cancellieri and the judiciary “want to prevent that tomorrow in Rome
will take place yet another insult to the memory of our anti-fascist
republic, born of the anti-fascist resistance and democracy.”
Fiano noted that Alba Dorata Italia had declared the "need for a
radical cleansing of all the toxic waste of society" and also said it
wanted to preserve the “just things” carried out by World War II fascist
dictator Benito Mussolini. Fiano said that the group “has published on
its website shameful images of Italian politicians marked with the Star
of David on their foreheads and others that minimized the horror of the
Holocaust.”
Alba Dorata also published slurs against prominent Italian gays including Nicchi Vendola, the president of Puglia region.
