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.

Meloni, who was herself a member of the Youth Front, has not yet commented on the issue.
