    Well, she campaigned on being a fascist and made a number of racist claims. But after she was elected she toned it down and even said there was no room for classic fascism in Italy.

    So, really, no one should like her.

    Whinging fascists getting their underwesr tied in a knot because someone calls them fascists has to be thee stupidest thing ever.

    Do the crime, do the time.

    If you don’t want to be named for what you are then change yourself.

    There have been cases like this in the past where the person suing has lost, effectively proving the claims true. I don’t have much faith in the courts in Italy to deliver such a verdict but it would be funny.
