Meloni pulls suit on historian who called her neo-Nazi

Meloni pulls suit on historian who called her neo-Nazi

Luciano Canfora's trial was to have started Monday

Premier Giorgia Meloni on Friday dropped a slander suit against a veteran leftist historian who called her a "neo-Nazi in her soul" when she was sole leader of the opposition in April 2022.
    Luciano Canfora's trial for aggravated defamation was due to have started on Monday, October 7.
    Meloni has withdrawn the complaint against the historian and philologist from Bari Canfora, 82, for calling her "a neo-Nazi at heart", "a poor thing", "and treated like a very dangerous idiot".
    Meloni was a civil plaintiff and had asked for compensation of 20 thousand euros.
    Canfora's statements on April 11, 2022, came about six months before the rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) scored a crushing electoral victory to become Italy's first woman premier.
    Pundits said that, among other things, she had benefitted from FdI being the only party to remain in opposition when former European central banker Mario Draghi formed a national unity technocratic government.
    Meloni, whose party has neo-Fascist roots, has repeatedly condemned historical Fascism's suspension of democracy and its "odious" racial laws against the Jews.
