Veterans of the lead years alongside a pizzeria owner. Among the 12 arrested for the clashes that broke out last Saturday in Rome, and in particular for the dramatic assault on the national headquarters of the CGIL, there are some historical names of Roman neo-fascism, such as the founder of Forza Nuova (Fn) Roberto Fiore and the former Nar Luigi Aronica, alongside leading exponents of the protests against the obligation of the green pass.
Among these Biagio Passaro, leader of the movement of restaurateurs “Io apro”, the protagonist of a long video that shows him inside the headquarters of the main Italian union, which he himself published on social media. “Guys, IoApro and everyone have invaded the CGIL,” he says in the live broadcast published on his Facebook page. Passaro, owner of the Neapolitan chain of pizzerias Regina Margherita, present with 7 places between Modena and Bologna, in recent months had been one of the most prominent personalities of “IoApro”, a group of restaurateurs who had challenged the closures of the premises to stop the Delta variant of the new coronavirus, even meeting the secretary of the League Matteo Salvini.
In addition to Passaro, the same organizer of the protests in Rome Pamela Testa, considered close to Forza Nuova, was also arrested. “They are coming to touch our children and we will not allow them,” said Testa in one of the appeals launched in recent months, who suffered a head injury in clashes with the police.
The other arrested include well-known faces of the capital’s neo-fascist galaxy, such as former member of the Revolutionary Armed Nuclei (Nar) Luigi Aronica, 65, known as “Pantera” and sentenced to 18 and 2 months for various crimes committed during his militancy. in the terrorist organization. “Do you know who I am? Be careful, I was imprisoned for twenty years for terrorism ”, he declared on television cameras during a protest he took part in in 2017.
Today Aronica is one of the exponents of Forza Nuova, a movement founded in 1997 by Roberto Fiore that refers to the infamous Romanian Iron Guard. Fiore himself is among those arrested for the events on Saturday, together with the deputy secretary of the party Giuliano Castellino.
One of the founders of the neo-fascist Terza Position movement, active until 1982, Fiore was sentenced in the 1980s for subversive association and an armed gang but never served his sentence, spending his fugitive in London. Quoted by a commission of the European parliament as a “British intelligence agent”, Fiore returned to Italy in 1999 when the crimes were prescribed, taking the leadership of Fn. Between 2008 and 2009 he was a member of the European Parliament after replacing Alessandra Mussolini, elected to the Chamber.
His deputy Castellino, Roman leader of Fn, in recent months has not failed to take part in the protests against the obligation to green pass and the “health dictatorship”, such as the attempt to violate the lockdown at Easter last year. In January he was subjected to special surveillance for some violent actions that took place during the demonstrations against the lockdown. In September, he was notified of a five-time Daspo for sporting events for violating special surveillance by going to protests against the green pass and Roma games. In 2019 he was sentenced to 4 years for the clashes that took place two years earlier at the Trullo, where a group of far-right protesters had tried to prevent the eviction of a public house that was to be assigned to an Eritrean citizen.
Those arrested are accused in various ways of aggravated damage, devastation and pillage, violence and resistance to public officials. Fiore, Castellino and three other of them will be defended by the lawyer and former Forza Italia deputy Carlo Taormina.
Forza Nuova, which contends with CasaPound for hegemony over neo-fascism in Rome, now risks dissolution, loudly requested by transversal political forces and by a motion filed in the Senate and in the Chamber by the Democratic Party, which asks the government to “follow up to the constitutional provisions on the prohibition of reorganization of the dissolved fascist party ”. In Italy up to now three political movements have been dissolved by applying the Scelba law of 1952, which implemented the XII transitional and final provision of the Republican Constitution, which prohibits “the reorganization, in any form, of the dissolved Fascist party”. These are the New Order in 1973, the National Avant-garde in 1976 and the National Front in 2000.
