«Mussolini has done more damage than useful things. Fascism is a thing of the past»- Corriere.it

“Mussolini has done more harm than good.” This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in response to a question to the foreign press on the Rampelli bill which, according to the journalist, “has a Mussolini flavor”. According to the Forza Italia exponent, it is “a law proposal by a parliamentarian, not the government” and the law proposals “must be approved by the House and the Senate, but the defense of the Italian language has nothing to do with it with Mussolini. Fascism ended in ’45, it’s past stuff that doesn’t interest us and doesn’t concern us». The Foreign Minister then assured that he had “always defended the Italian language, it is the mother tongue, Dante Alighieri is the poet of Italian”.
