SILVIO Berlusconi, Italian media mogul and owner of the world's richest football club, A.C. Milan, has declared his support for the fascist MSI in the second round of Rome's municipal elections.
Berlusconi currently controls three of the four top commercial TV networks in Italy, as well as its main newsweekly.
Two weeks ago in the first round elections the MSI gained huge electoral support emerging as the single biggest party in both Rome and Naples.
The MSI has secretly worked with individuals and organisations responsible for a series of atrocities, the most infamous of which was the Bologna Railway bombing in 1980 where 85 people died.
Now anti-fascist groups including Campaign Against Fascism in Europe, Youth Against Racism in Europe, BO BI from Italy and Antifascistes Europeens have set up a Europe wide' Break Berlusconi' campaign.
They aim to boycott Berlusconi's products and businesses, demanding he withdraws support for the MSI.
The boycott campaign in Italy has already gained popular support leading to Berlusconi losing 20% of his TV viewers. Anti-racists in Britain should back this initiative. For details contact Campaign Against Facism In Europe -071 252 5122.
