More provocation is not

Ten kilometers lie between the Piazzale Loreto in the East of Milan and the stadium of Giuseppe Meazza in the Western part of the district of San Siro. Who is from Rome, on the A1 motorway, such as about 4000 supporters of Lazio acts that went on Wednesday for the return game in the semifinals of the Italian Cup against Milan, is fast to the stadium. There is an exit. The historically hard-to-freighted Piazzale Loreto is on the way. But he was the target of fifty, sixty "Irriducibili", the extreme right-wing Ultras of Lazio name: Unyielding. They have staged at the corner of the square, on the prior 74 years, the corpses of the fascist leader Benito Mussolini and his Mistress Claretta were Petacci were on their feet hung a action and into the net, to talk a lot.

You can see the Ultras as they have on the Sidewalk behind a long banner built. "Onore a Benito Mussolini", is there, honor for Benito Mussolini. The signature "IRR", which is short for Irriducibili. The head of the group, a 53-year-old Roman, whom the police could easily identify, prior to the secondment, in respect of position, frozen, as that would be a military appeal, and yells: "Camerata Mussolini?" The Parade with one voice: "Presente!" Present. Then the chief: "Rest!" After that, all the routes are still the right Arm of the fascist salute, shades of nostalgic choirs, followed by curses to the address of the opposing Fans, the "Milanisti".

It is not the first Time that the Ultras of Lazio make a Unsäglichkeit. In front of one and a half years you decide to print decals, where you saw a smiling Anne Frank in the yellow-red Jersey of the AS of Rome. In the craziness of the world the "Indomitable" was meant to be the photo montage as a mockery. We also can't forget the banner, which they had rolled out in 1998 in a Rome Derby in the Curva Nord remains, to the city rivals contacted: "Auschwitz is your homeland, the Ovens are your houses." Or the tribute to Željko Ražnatovi?, a Serbian war criminal who was also known as "Tiger Arkan".

What is the Minister of the interior

In this latest case, but much of it comes together in a way that the Milanese newspaper "Corriere della Sera" raised the image of the Parade on your first page, big and at the very top. That has to do with the place and date of action Piazzale Loreto: on the eve of the 25. April, the national memorial and celebration for the liberation from fascism - more provocation to not.

The "Corrierew writes: "The provocation to insult." You fit in well with the political climate in the country, to Try many, to make fascism acceptable, and upgrade. "In the past, happened, hidden, today, no one is hiding." "La Repubblica" commented similar, with Matteo Salvini, the Secretary of the interior and Deputy Prime Minister of the country, in particular, is responsible for the new disinhibition. "Salvini's populism of hate offers this neo-fascist groups, a stage for you, this is a particularly opportune Moment."

Salvini made to align, the Ultras were "idiots", the state will not tolerate any violence, neither physical nor verbal. Counter 22 is determined. In addition to 19 "Irriducibili" are also three Hooligans from Inter, which are traditionally well with the Laziali. The charge is fascist rally. In Italy, there are laws by which the glorification and spread of fascism, a fight. Often they are not applied. A lot goes through as Folklore. In the interpretation of Salvini's Ultras, the Monkey noises, to offend other players with black skin color, and such, the saluting Roman, just stupid boys, "ragazzacci". Or: idiots.

Lazio by the way, 1 won:0 and is in the Final. For the other case, the "Indomitable" bananas brought, they had been thrown on the lawn, a rain of bananas.
