“Rome, 7 January 2024 and it seems like 1924. We will present a question to Minister Piantedosi, what happened is not acceptable. The neo-fascist organizations must be dissolvedas the Constitution says,” he writes on Facebook Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein posting the video.

“This is an unacceptable shame in a European democracy,” accusation the leader of Action Carlo Calenda. “In Germany they arrest anyone who gives the Roman salute. It happened to two Italians at the Oktoberfest. Not with us. It happens every time when fascists commemorate Acca Larentia. Fascism is a crime that must always be prosecuted. The fascist organizations must be dissolved,” he urges Sandro Ruotolo of the PD secretariat. While the president of the Lazio Region Francesco Rocca he assures that “no Roman greeting” was seen at the institutional ceremony, in which he participated by placing a laurel wreath together with the Rome Capital councilor Miguel Gotor.

“Human pity for the dead is not in question nor is the condemnation of the political violence of yesterday and today. All of it, without distinction. But the Roman salute, given on the occasion of the remembrance of Acca Larentia, is itself a symbol of death , violence and oppression. For this reason he should be condemned first and foremost by the political forces. All of them. Anyone who doesn't do so is complicit.” He writes it on social networks Democratic Party deputy, Nicola Zingaretti.

“We are outraged by the Roman greetings in front of the former MSI headquarters in Via Acca Larentia, in Rome and we do not understand how it was possible that this fascist act was allowed. The glorification and celebration of symbols and gestures praising fascism they are unacceptable and go against the fundamental values ​​of democracy and civil coexistence. We will present an urgent question to Minister Piantedosi to shed light on how he allowed these disturbing events to take place and on the need to adopt concrete measures to counter any form of illegal organization that promotes fascist ideals”. Thus in a note the co-spokesperson for Green Europe and AVS MP Angelo Bonelli.

The Roman greetings seen last night in Rome during the commemoration of the Via Acca Larentia massacre “are unacceptable scenes and the fact that these scenes are repeated over the years does not justify anyone doing anything”. He tells L'Aria who brings up La7 the leader of Italia viva, Matteo Renzi. “A month ago – he recalls – a gallery attendant at La Scala was identified by the Digos of Milan, now we have to decide what game we are playing. Tolerant towards those who apologize for fascism and intolerant towards those who say 'Long live anti-fascist Italy'?” . For Renzi it is necessary for “the Prime Minister to say that these are wrong images. Between a post on Ferragni and a discussion on Delmastro or Lollobrigida, will he be able to say half a word? We – he concludes – are waiting for you”
