I’m a fascist, says AC Milan star Christian Abbiati

* Saturday September 27 2008
One of Silvio Berlusconi‘s players at AC Milan has declared he is a fascist. Christian Abbiati, 31, an Italian international, said: “I am not ashamed to proclaim my political beliefs. I share [the] ideals of fascism, such as the fatherland and the values of the Catholic religion.”
The goalkeeper’s remarks, published today in Sportweek magazine, come amid debate over Italy’s fascist past and rightwing present under the leadership of AC Milan’s billionaire chairman.
The minority partner in Berlusconi‘s parliamentary alliance, the Freedom People, is a party spun out of the country’s neo-fascist movement. Some members remain unabashed apologists for the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini.
The defence minister, Ignazio La Russa, sparked a row this month after he paid tribute to Italian soldiers who fought alongside German troops in the second world war. His comments came after the mayor of Rome, Gianno Alemanno, told a magazine he did not consider fascism an “absolute evil”. Berlusconi dodged a question on his own views, replying: “I think only of working to resolve the problems of the Italian people.”

soccer quickly became, by the turn of the twentieth century, the sport
of choice amongst the non-white population and white lower classes.

ITALY: A neofascist group announced at the weekend that it is to merge with a new right-wing party led by Premier Silvio Berlusconi.
Defence Minister Ignazio La Russa told colleagues at a National Alliance conference that the group would be dissolved and its members would become part of Mr Berlusconi’s new Freedom Party, along with members of the premier’s Forza Italia party.
