Versione italiana

A group of young people intone fascist chants and hymns to the Duce in the Parma headquarters of Fratelli d'Italia, which is also used by the party's youth movement, Gioventù nazionale. The video is doing the rounds on the web, arousing fierce controversy. The Parma Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the case.

Fascist chants, commissioned National Youth Parma

The regional coordination of Gioventù Nazionale Emilia-Romagna has announced the commissioning of the Parma section: 'In agreement with the national leadership of the movement, the provincial federation of Gioventù Nazionale Parma has been immediately placed under commission for reasons of political incompatibility. A commissioner will be appointed as soon as possible,' reads a note

The video

According to an initial reconstruction, the video0 was filmed on the evening of 28 October, the anniversary of the march on Rome. The song they are singing is 'Me ne frego'. This is the part of the lyrics that can be heard: 'If the sun of the future is red in colour, I don't care if I die waving the tricolour! We don't care about jail, the black shirt will triumph. If it doesn't triumph it will be a slaughter with truncheons and bombs!' Then you hear: 'Duce, Duce'.

Schlein: will Meloni keep silent on fascist chants again?

"It is very serious. We are waiting to hear a distancing from the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. Or maybe she will keep silent this time too? Who knows". This is how the PD national secretary, Elly Schlein, on the sidelines of an initiative this morning at the Municipality of Fisciano (Salerno), commented on the fascist chants at the Fratelli d'Italia headquarters in Parma.

Donzelli: Parma? Those who make mistakes pay, on the left I don't know

Per Fratelli d’Italia è intervenuto il responsabile organizzazione Giovanni Donzelli. «Da noi, chi sbaglia paga. A sinistra non so. Gioventù nazionale aveva provveduto a commissariare la federazione di Parma autonomamente e ben prima che il video venisse pubblicato e circolasse sui media. Da noi non c’è spazio per la nostalgia dei totalitarismi. La sinistra come sempre cerca di montare una polemica priva di senso: i ragazzi di GN erano intervenuti subito, non c’era bisogno che del fatto si accorgessero gli autoproclamati ’tutori della democrazia’. Non abbiamo invece visto tutta questa solerzia a sinistra nell’intervenire sui circoli in cui i Giovani democratici indossano magliette inneggianti alle Brigate rosse, come accaduto a Vasto, nel condannare gli studenti di sinistra che negli atenei impediscono di parlare a chi non la pensa come loro, o prendere le distanze da chi, nelle piazze Pro Pal, inneggia ripetutamente all’antisemitismo».

Crosetto, Parma chants? They should be kicked and sent away

'The fascist choruses in Parma comment on themselves. They are something that has nothing to do with Fratelli d'Italia, those people should be kicked and sent away,' Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said from Naples, on the sidelines of an electoral initiative in support of the centre-right candidate for the regional elections, Edmondo Cirielli.
