With what? What is it you are saying? That there is a man in
the Italian government that may have a neo-Fascist past?

No, I don't.

Italy will always carry the Albatross of Fascism around its
neck. Is that it? 
 
The fascist present? Again, you have not provided any facts
or substance that supports the hazardous assertion that
Italy has a Fascist present or that the activities of the
police in Italy, as appalling as they are, are in any way
the actions of a fascist government or even a fascist
faction in the Italian government.
