Italian communists rally in Rome on Saturday to protest against an EU motion equating communism with fascism
ITALIAN communists said “fuck you” to the European Union on Saturday as thousands from across Italy rallied in Rome against the dangerous anti-communist motion passed by the EU Parliament last month.
Communist Party general secretary Marco Rizzo shouted the oath as he tore up a copy of the resolution, which equates communism with fascism, to loud cheers from the huge crowds gathered in the Italian capital’s Piazza Santi Apostoli.
He condemned the motion for rewriting history with its claim that the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact had caused the second world war.
