"The system of freedoms and guarantees

established by the Founding Fathers, precisely to protect

the values of freedom and prevent possible authoritarian

resurgences, is based on the very clear and qualitative

distinction between the expression of ideas, even those that

are little or not at all agreeable, and the carrying out of

violent threats against the democratic order. All governments

of the Republic have always adhered to that teaching of the

Founding Fathers, and we certainly will not be the ones to

fall short of it." So said the Undersecretary of the Interior,

Wanda Ferro, responding to a parliamentary question asking

whether, on the basis of recent press reports concerning

MEP Roberto Vannacci and the party he founded, the government

intends to initiate the measures within its remit for the

dissolution of groups found responsible for conduct

constituting the glorification of fascism.
