Amnesty International said
Wednesday Italy was steeped in racism and rightwing parties were
at fault for stoking anti-foreigner sentiment.
Amnesty said Italy was "steeped in hatred, racism and
xenophobia, and unjustified fear of the other".
It said 95% of discriminatory, racist, and hate speech on the
Internet came from the centre right,
The anti-migrant League led by firebrand leader Matteo
Salvini led the way at 50% of such speech, Amnesty said in its
report.
It was followed by the nationalist, neo-Fascist Brothers of
Italy (FdI) led by Giorgia Meloni at 27%, the Amnesty report
said.
In third place came Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza
Italia (FI) at 18%.
