Prosecutors Probe Parma Video of Fascist Chants at FdI Youth Office

Gioventù Nazionale says it had already placed the Parma federation under a commissioner before the clip surfaced.

Overview

  • The Parma prosecutor opened an exploratory modello 45 file and tasked the Digos to verify the facts, with no suspects or alleged crimes identified at this stage.
  • The footage circulating online appears to show youths at the Parma premises singing 'Me ne frego' with references to 'camicia nera' and chants of 'Duce'.
  • FdI officials, including Giovanni Donzelli, state the local Gioventù Nazionale federation was commissariated prior to the video's publication and reiterate there is no space for nostalgia for totalitarianism.
  • Opposition figures led by PD secretary Elly Schlein urge Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to issue a clear public condemnation, while Parma’s mayor Michele Guerra denounces the episode.
  • An antifascist protest was held near the office in Borgo del Parmigianino, with police presence reported and moments of tension described by local media.
