Forlì-Cesena Prefecture Blocks Forza Nuova Conference in Predappio on Safety Grounds

Officials cited an unsafe, unapproved venue in a show of institutional resistance to a Liberation Day provocation.

Overview

  • Forlì-Cesena’s prefecture, which announced the ban Thursday, halted the April 25 event and the mayor issued an urgent order to enforce it.
  • Inspectors found the ex L’Artè factory site in severe disrepair and said the building lacks a certificate of occupancy.
  • Officials said organizers provided none of the required paperwork that outlines the program and proves compliance with legal safety rules.
  • Forza Nuova had planned a talk titled “The End of Anti‑Fascism” led by party leader Roberto Fiore with announced guests Nick Griffin and Ioannis Zografos and backing from the site Fahrenheit 2022.
  • Regional leaders and the anti‑fascist group ANPI condemned the plan, and authorities still expect to manage the separate annual march in Predappio the next day.
