Segre commn obtains footage of FdI youth-wing scandal

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 2 - The parliamentary commission for combating intolerance, racism, anti-Semitism and instigation to hatred and violence has decided to obtain footage from under-cover reports by news website Fanpage on alleged neo-Fascist, neo-Nazi and antisemitic sentiment voiced by some members of the youth wing of Premier Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, sources said on Tuesday.
    Two leading members of FdI youth wing Gioventù Nazionale (National Youth, GN) resigned last week over the reports.
    Meloni has said anti-Semitic sentiments are incompatible with the right-wing FdI, while also blasting the methods used by Fanpage, saying they were the stuff of a "regime" The decision to obtain the footage by the commission, named after Holocaust survivor and Life Senator Liliana Segre, who pushed for it to be created, was backed by all the parliamentary parties, the sources said.
