Then you should tell your people to stop spreading it.
OP is an Italian Nazi?
I was fooled by his impeccable English. My bad.
I'm just going to chalk up the fact that you didn't read the full line of his post in the OP, because you're were incapable of doing so.
Because ignorance is your best shield at this point.
That it would disturb YOU comes as no surprise.Why is it illegal to form a political party? That fact is more disturbing than anything presented in the OP.
devious lot, those Sicilians.:lol:OP is an Italian Nazi?
I was fooled by his impeccable English. My bad.
5. I hope that the Italian government will take stern measures against the so-called Nazis if they break the law and stern measures against soccer fans who insult players because of their ethnicity, AND I hope that the Italian government will institute reasonable immigration laws. Many Italians, I have read, are genuinely concerned about the number of immigrants who are coming to their country.
That it would disturb YOU comes as no surprise.
Best stay clear of Italy.
not you Kamerad, not you.19 people arrested for doing what? Having a difference of opinion than the rest of 60 million Italian population. What you so afraid of?

For planning a terrorist attack.
Groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda also have “differences of opinion” with the rest of the populace. Should we allow them to carry out their attacks because you are upset some of your fellow travelers got busted?

Italian police said Thursday that they had seized weapons and far-right propaganda material from the homes of 19 suspected extremists who were hoping to form a Nazi party in the country. The Polizia di Stato said that searches had taken place in 16 cities and towns, including Milan, Genoa, Livorno, Turin, Padua and Verona. It was not immediately clear how many people, if any, were arrested and police gave no estimate of how many people were members of the self-styled Italian National Socialist Workers Party. Authorities said the raids, dubbed "Operation Black Shadows," stemmed from "the monitoring of extreme right-wing local groups all united by the same ideological fanaticism and intending to constitute a pro-Nazi, xenophobic and anti-Semitic movement." They added that some suspects "had a vast amount of weapons and explosives at their disposal" while others tried to recruit new members by posting anti-Semitic and Holocaust-denying material on social media. The Italian news agency ANSA identified a senior member of the group as a 50-year-old woman from Padua who police say called herself "Hitler's Sergeant Major" in private group chats. Another reported suspect is a 26-year-old woman from Sicily who won an online "Miss Hitler" beauty contest and spoke at a far-right conference in Lisbon this past August. Police identified one suspect as a former convict believed to be a senior figure in the 'Ndrangheta mafia and a former member of the Forza Nuova (New Force) far-right party. Authorities said the group had made contact with far-right parties in Portugal, Britain and France. It is illegal under Italian law to try to revive fascist parties or practice "defense of fascism."
Italy police uncover plot to form new Nazi party, authorities say
Some of the weapons and other items seized in the raids.
I would imagine that this phenomena is occurring more often than is realized in Europe.
If that's proven, then lock them up.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Italian Fascists as a movement were never truly punished and pursued as a movement to the same level as the Nazis in Germany (who were not pursued or punished nearly enough, in my opinion). The same goes for most other parallel fascist movements throughout Europe. Most of the kidnappers, torturers, and murderers were allowed to lead regular lives with their families and disseminate their ideologies further down the generations.
