Caio Mussolini conceded that his name is not an easy one to carry, but that he will ‘never be ashamed’ of his family

A third descendant of Italy’s long-time fascist dictator Benito Mussolini is entering the political arena.

Party leader Giorgia Meloni announced Mussolini’s candidacy over the weekend. His political ambitions follow that of his second cousins, Alessandra Mussolini, an EU parliamentarian for Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party, and Rachele Mussolini, a Rome city council member associated with Brothers of Italy.Meloni said protests against the latest Mussolini political debut led Facebook to cancel his profile due to his last name.

“He is a professional, a serviceman, a patriot,” Meloni said against the backdrop of the multi-arched facade of the Palace of Italian Civilization that was built by Benito Mussolini and known to modern-day Romans as the “Squared Colosseum.” In an interview with the right-wing paper Libero, Caio Mussolini conceded that his name is not an easy one to carry, but that he will “never be ashamed of my family.”He added that he was born well after that period and that fascism was now something for “historians to study.” Anyone worried about its revival, he said, “is seeing imaginary enemies.”“I see other dangers.

Crown seeks third trial in Eaton Centre shooting, alleging judge made mistakesCrown attorneys are seeking a third trial for a man convicted of manslaughter in a deadly shooting at Toronto's Eaton Centre nearly seven years ago. I am not convinced that the judge who oversaw christopherhusbands's retrial in the 2012 eatoncentreshooting made such serious errors that a 3rd trial should be ordered.
