"Italy's Political Firestorm: Outcry Over Fascist Salutes"

TL;DR Summary
Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces pressure to condemn a memorial event attended by members of her ruling Brothers of Italy party, where hundreds allegedly performed mass fascist salutes. The event marked the anniversary of the deaths of three far-right activists, and the outcry has revived memories of Italy's violent political past. Opposition politicians are demanding explanations and proposing stronger laws to prosecute support for fascism, while police are studying video footage and considering criminal charges. Meloni, who was herself a member of the Youth Front, has not yet commented on the issue.
