"We can not tolerate to be democratic and anti-fascists, a few days after 64th anniversary of liberation, that the Municipality of Rome gives the sponsorship of an initiative of the Fascists of Casa Pound".

To prove the membership is the logo of the Capitol on all the posters that advertise the conference entitled "The Master Plan and the development of the city," scheduled on April 17th.
To trigger the controversy was a denunciation of the Provincial Council of the Sinistra Arcobaleno in Rome and coordinator of the Federated Group of the Left in County, Gianluca Peciola that attack: "In the conference itself there is absolutely nothing wrong. Pity that a moderate is Flavio Nardi, organizer of nazi rock events banned in Germany and condemned by Israel, and that the event itself is held in one of the seats occupied by an organization claiming sympathy towards fascism. "

Out the controversy. Marroni (PD): "The Capitol supporters Nazi ideology? The Mayor must withdraw patronage "discussed sponsorship granted by the city of Rome for a conference organized by the" Women in Action ', close to Casapound, in one of the seats occupied by far right activists.

Peciola concludes his complaint requesting information from the Mayor Alemanno: "I ask the mayor Gianni Alemanno to reassure us about the institutional legitimacy of this initiative. Should it become a collaboration at the municipal level, this' would be huge. Therefore, ask the mayor to give an explanation to the city 'and to question the involvement of the City. "

To Peciola replied Councilor Pdl in the City of Rome, Gramazio Luca, who is also a member of the Town Planning Board: "The topic of the conference is very timely. Were invited as speakers, university professors and scholars in the field, and not, as someone so superficial and hateful, the organizers of rock concerts. "

Gramazio adding that "those who want to make a polemic on the patronage of the Presidency of the Municipal Council, I remember that was the administration Veltroni, with the resolution 26, a legitimate, if proof were needed, Casapound and insert it in the list for special emergency housing. "

The most wheat is the leader of the Democratic Party to the City of Rome, Umberto Marroni for which "support a political extremist group Casa Pound was a reckless and dubious taste."

"I remember," says Marroni, "the logo of the Municipality of Rome is granted, usually for cultural activities in which the city has found. It's hard to think that our city can identify organizers or leaders that have become protagonists in the recent past for giving rise to events with clear references to Nazism. In addition, the organization "Pound House" several times has become the protagonist of violent action of violence and fascism. " "We call on the mayor," Marroni concludes, "to take urgent action on the case by revoking the membership policy of the City of Rome in the initiative."

"Do not hang its head in front of the customs clearance of fascism"
"We can not tolerate to be democratic and anti-fascists, a few days after 64th anniversary of liberation, that the Municipality of Rome gives the sponsorship of an initiative of the Fascists of Casa Pound." Writes in a note to the Italian Communist Youth Federation of Rome. "This is not a question of whether the sponsorship is free or funded, because the problem is about: Casa Pound - writes the FGCI - should not exist just because the place where ideas are being promoted fascist, racist, unconstitutional, then we believe that the controversy raised is not on understanding whether Alemanno has given money to promote this initiative, but strongly re-launch the idea that - the note concludes - no need to hang its head in front of the customs clearance of fascism, Pound House, and all places like that in Rome must be closed.

Having put the logo on the initiative of Municipality of Casapound may have been a mistake but not been this big scandal'' the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, commenting on the controversial legal aid offered by the conference on the Capitol to plan organized by the Women and coordinated action that will take place 'tomorrow at 21 to Casapound.

''In all this emphasis I see the seed of the concept of discrimination on a measure that is not 'a scandal,''said Alemanno, who, in response to a''stay away'' declared by the President of the Rome Province, Nicola Zingaretti, concluded:''It's an attitude in which there is something that does not work. That sentence seems to me, frankly, a little 'contemptuous''.

No comment, Mr Mayor.....
