Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

      Pretty much. Shame in the Italian government for this:

      Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 (£858 to £4,290) anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

    Common but disturbing behavior: investigating whether calling out fascism is a problem, but not invesgating whether fascism is a problem.

    Punishing people for saying what they see.
