A far-right group has therefore published the names of the leaders of the 17 October movement on Telegram
Der Einzig, a far-right group which claims to have reconstructed the movement’s network, has been circulating them since yesterday.
Names, profiles, administrators. The network believed to be behind the 17 October Movement, the group that in recent days has called for mobilisation via Telegram and social media. This has been pieced together by Der Einzig (TND) – the anti-communist intellectual front, a far-right group which published the results of an investigation on its Telegram channel aimed at tracing those behind the 17 October Movement.
Der Einzig describes itself as follows: ‘Join me in the battle of the right against the left. For the West, for the white race, we resist.’ Its motto is ‘this is the true Italian far right, inspired by Max Stirner and Friedrich Nietzsche’. And it was on his Telegram profile that the names attributed to the administrators of the 17 October Movement appeared.
The Movement had called for a strike today, only to call it off yesterday after information began circulating online about the identity of those running its channels. The investigation relaunched by Der Einzig also attempts to piece together the group’s origins and its links with other organisations that emerged online.
The post states that ‘this is a far-left terrorist group set up to organise violent riots. They destroy and loot shops and are explicitly inspired by the French model, where not even cars or local councils are spared. They have an Instagram page and a private Telegram group. They came from the other movement, the next to be doxxed (their names published online, ed.), ‘Italia in piazza’. They split from the previous group because, according to the leader of the 17 October Movement, ‘Italia in piazza’ takes a liberal approach.”
The most sensitive issue, however, concerns the identity of the administrators themselves. Der Einzig’s Telegram channel lists all the names attributed to those said to have managed the 17 October Movement’s profile and group. This constitutes a form of ‘doxxing’, that is, the online publication of information intended to link anonymous accounts and profiles to the people believed to be managing them.
