[Translated from Italian]

The WhatsApp group at the center of the scandal is linked to the political orbit of Roberto Vannacci and brings together around 300 people—including officials, local committee leaders, and sympathizers—primarily in Lombardy[…]The chat contained antisemitic and racist messages, subversive statements[…]"Shitty Arabs! They should be exterminated!" reads one of the many messages. The chat administrator is Renato Maturo, the head of the Milan-based "421" committee and a long-time associate of Ignazio La Russa

Among the chat members are also the "black baron" Roberto Jonghi Lavarini, formerly of Brothers of Italy, and the founder of National Future's think-tank, National Renaissance, that is Luca Sforzini (who might be on the way out to join Forza Italia). Racist, antisemitic, insurrectionist content abounds. For example, on the party organisation, militants speak of a "rigorous" and "military-style" structure. Then the exortations: "We must always be anti-constitutional!"; "we stand ready at the general's orders! Therefore stand by…". The idea of forcible action is presented as an alternative to political quagmire: "Even with 51% it won't be enough". The conclusion is clear: "Until someone undertakes forcible action, we'll be stuck in this situation"

The chat's participants show clear reference points: "We need another Valerio Borghese", [referring to the fascist military leader who initiated an abortive coup in the the 1960s]. And Nazism as well: "Better than a European union, the Führer aimed to create a United States of the world! He would have torn down barriers and we would all be speaking German now. Instead we have this Europe of money, of banks". Onwards to a masonic European Union: "When I see the Italian flag flown side by side with that filthy blue masonic rag with 12 shit dogshit diarrhea stains I get real fucking pissed". Finally, the Jews. Who are "Satan-worshipping beasts", "pedophiles, cabalists, cannibals"
