Tens of thousands of Italian conservatives protested in the ancient Roman Forum on Saturday against the centre-left government of Romano Prodi, among them a few hundred black-shirted right-wingers giving the Nazi salute. Gianfranco Fini, leader of the National Alliance which is one of the biggest parties in the centre-right opposition, told the rally he believed the days of Prime Minister Prodi’s 17-month-old government were numbered. “I don’t think it will be long now,” said Fini, who in his youth was a leader of the neo-Fascist movement inherited from wartime dictator Benito Mussolini but now defines his AN as a mainstream European conservative party.
