2nd FdI youth official quits in 'Fascism' row
MP's secretary Elisa Segnini quits after Flaminia Pace
A second official in Gioventù
Nazionale (GN, National Youth), the youth wing of Premier
Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party,
resigned from her post as cabinet secretary to an FdI MP after
an undercover journalism probe recorded her saying she had
"never stopped being racist and Fascist".
Elisa Segnini, secretary to FdI's leader on the House budget
committee, Ylenja Lucaselli, followed the resignation of top GN
official Flaminia Pace who was caught on the Fanpage video
saying it was "great to take the piss over the swastikas" after
having drafted a statement of solidarity with FdI Senator and
former Rome Jewish community spokeswoman Ester Mieli.
The Fanpage probe, titled 'Melonian Youth' has rocked Meloni's
party just as the premier is seeking to cement her reputation
for moderation on the EU stage, while asserting the Right's
right to count more in European appointments after it made gains
in the European elections this year.
Meloni has repeatedly praised GN in the past as model political
youngsters.
