Prosecutors Open Exploratory Case After Video Shows Fascist Chants at Fratelli d’Italia Youth Office in Parma

Opposition leaders are pressing Giorgia Meloni to deliver an explicit denunciation.

Overview

  • A widely shared video, reported to be from October 28, shows individuals outside Gioventù Nazionale’s Parma venue singing regime-era chants and praising Mussolini.
  • Parma prosecutors opened a Model 45 exploratory file and tasked Digos to verify the facts, with no specific offense or suspects identified at this stage.
  • Fratelli d’Italia and Gioventù Nazionale said the Parma youth federation had already been placed under receivership before the video emerged.
  • Gioventù Nazionale officials said those identified as responsible will be removed if they are members, while rejecting criticism from the left.
  • Antifascist groups called a protest for this evening near the Borgo del Parmigianino office, as the city’s mayor and national opposition figures condemned the episode.
