Of the four countries I indicated last year (Hungary, France, Italy, Serbia), Italy's Forza Nuova did in fact support Ukraine resisting Russian "influence" whatever that means. So I was wrong about one of the four countries mentioned. My bad. But Forza Nuova finally came around to seeing the merit of Great Russian chauvinism as reported in an Italian newspaper on March 23, 2015 (excuse the Google translation, please): "Russia hosted yesterday, March 22, 2015, the "first international forum of European and Russian nationalist forces", with the presence of several senior executives of some of the most controversial right parties of the old continent, from Forza Nuova Alba golden until the German neo-Nazi party NDP. They all came to declare their support for Putin and his Russian 'neo-con', "the last bastion of traditional values" , and to condemn the sanctions and "American imperialism": Obama called "Nazi" gays " perverts ", the Russian opponents killed invited to "stay in hell" and Christians to "reproduce". http://www.panorama.it/news/esteri/russia-convegno-dellestrema-destra-europea-sostegno-putin/ _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
