Matteo Salvini was the Deputy Prime Minister in Italy until the end of last year. He has been held responsible for a lot of the far right anti-immigration hate in Italy and has also been reported as saying he wanted a “mass-cleansing” of the country. Shortly after becoming Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister,\u00a0 Salvini announced his intention to conduct a compulsory census of Italians in order to identify and deport Roma people from the country.<\/p>\n

On 12th February the Italian senate formally authorised a criminal case against Salvini<\/a>,\u00a0 This is due to Salvini allegedly depriving 131\u00a0 asylum-seekers, who were on board the Gregoretti coastguard ship, of their liberty, by not allowing them to disembark.\u00a0 He will now be tried for kidnapping.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately Salvini’s right-wing views have had support both in Italy and in other areas of the world. In 2018 Salvini ‘s party, The League, formed a global network of supporters. Some of The League’s supporters are in the UK and have organised a dinner at a restaurant in Liverpool for 28th March 2020, which has caused outrage amongst residents of Liverpool. The advert implies that Salvini will be present. However, since it was first published, Salvini has denied this,\u00a0<\/a> saying that he will not be present, and that: \u201cWhat is happening there is not a rally, but a dinner among supporters of the League in Liverpool \u2013 they are going to eat fish and chips.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mayor of Liverpool, Steve Rotheram, said “division and hate” was not welcome in Liverpool and \u201cthe only audience he\u2019ll find here is one that won\u2019t be shy in telling him what they think of fascists like him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool has a strong history of opposing far-right visits to the city and standing up for what is right. They have had a 30-year boycott refusing to sell The Sun<\/a> newspaper after the Hillsborough disaster.\u00a0 We expect this event will not be ignored and that, if it does go ahead, there will most likely be protests and rallies.<\/p>\n
