There are photos in which Nicola Franco, candidate of the Brothers of Italy for City Hall VI, gives the Roman salute. And then there are the images of that streaming session of the municipal council a year ago when the councilor exhibited a book on the SS and one on Mussolini.
Next 17 and 18 October Franco will challenge the opponent of the Five Star Movement to the ballot for the leadership of the town hall which also includes Tor bella monaca Francesca Filipponi. Interviewed by Fanpage, the candidate said: “I do not deny that I have put on a black shirt or done the Roman salute”. Then on the incriminated images, he explains: “We are talking about a fact that dates back to a year ago, it is a library with 500 texts among which there is also ‘Il Capitale’ by Marx, Engels, and – adds the candidate – I even showed a book by Liliana Segre“.
Franco also claims that regarding his books many “even from the left” would have written to him to support him, “telling me that at home they have Mein Kampf and not for this reason they are Nazis. Reading a book does not mean sharing what is contained within it ”. Then he attacks those who criticize him: “I understand that the desperation of those who have to chase and recover votes can also lead to exploiting things like these”.
On the Facebook wall of Franco, on the date of August 5, 2015, there is also a photo of which the candidate is immortalized with a group of friends while making the Roman salute. In other posts, as reported by Fanpage, the mourning inscription “28/04/1945” (the day of Mussolini’s death), sentences of praise and quotations from the Duce appear.
With reference to the Saturday demonstration organized by the CGIL after the attack suffered by the union on 9 October Franco said: “I condemn fascism, but whoever organizes an anti-fascist demonstration during the election silence wants to take the consent of the undecided”. On 9 October the leader of FdI Giorgia Meloni he had affirmed: “In the DNA of the Brothers of Italy there are no fascist nostalgia, racist, anti-Semitic. There is no place for any of this. In our DNA there is the rejection of every regime, past, present and future ”.
