Segre commn obtains footage of FdI youth-wing scandal

The parliamentary commission for
combating intolerance, racism, anti-Semitism and instigation to
hatred and violence has decided to obtain footage from
under-cover reports by news website Fanpage on alleged
neo-Fascist, neo-Nazi and antisemitic sentiment voiced by some
members of the youth wing of Premier Giorgia Meloni's Brothers
of Italy (FdI) party, sources said on Tuesday.

   
Two leading members of FdI youth wing Gioventù Nazionale
(National Youth, GN) resigned last week over the reports.

   
Meloni has said anti-Semitic sentiments are incompatible with
the right-wing FdI, while also blasting the methods used by
Fanpage, saying they were the stuff of a "regime"
The decision to obtain the footage by the commission, named
after Holocaust survivor and Life Senator Liliana Segre, who
pushed for it to be created, was backed by all the parliamentary
parties, the sources said.
