Tajani in media storm over Mussolini comments
By EUobserver
European Parliament president Antonio Tajani was Wednesday caught in a media storm, after saying on Radio24 that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini had also done "positive things". "How can a president of the European Parliament fail to acknowledge the nature of fascism? We need swift clarification", said Social Democrat EP leader Udo Bullmann. Tajani replied: "Shame on those who manipulate what I've allegedly said on fascism."
