The Lazio is one of the most popular teams in the A league Italian. In addition to its huge fans, it has the most important controversies. His links with the extreme right and his homophobic chants (among other things) generate the rejection of the rest of the tournament’s stands. However, this week it was confirmed that Romano Mussolini, Benito’s great-grandson, was called up by the second team of Lazio.
This generated a major scandal in the newspapers of the European country. Romano reached the lower ranks of the Roman club and participated in various categories. In addition, he plays as a right-back, was called up for the U-18 and this weekend he was on the substitute bench of the Lazio ‘spring team’ (reserve). In addition to being the great-grandson of the ‘Duce’, he is the son of a far-right deputy from his country.
His mother, Alessandra Mussolini, has already asked the media not to get politically involved and to criticize him for his actions on the playing field. However, when naming their last name, many Italians recall the most horrible and sad moments in their country. Also, her father is involved in a major child prostitution scandal.
Mussolini
Under his regime, Benito Mussolini committed the most heinous crimes in Italian history. With a clear posture that aligned with the ideas of Adolf Hitler and German Nazism, the country entered the Second World War. In addition, there was a clear violation of human rights. ‘El Duce’ committed around 70,000 murders of civilians, only in World War II.
Lazio
The ‘ultras’ of the Roman team are known for their brutality and their affiliation with the ideas of Mussolini and Hitler. Known as the ‘Irreducible‘, they usually show images against blacks, homosexuals, Arabs and various communities. In addition, the club on its shield has the famous ‘Imperial Eagle’, which refers to the Roman Empire and was a symbol of Nazism.
