The Italian Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piandendozzi, met today with the representatives of football teams of the country.
In the discussion they had, direct reference was made to modification of «moral code» of the groups in Italy, with special reference to issues of racism and the fight against extreme, anti-democratic ideologies.
As the Italian minister stated, from now on “there will be no jerseys of football players with the number 88”.
This is not a random numberbecause, as the press writes, it refers to neo-Nazi symbolism: the first letter of Adolf Hitler’s first and last name is the eighth of the German alphabet.
At the same time, the Italian government’s agreement with the country’s football teams stipulates that their fans should not use symbols linked to the dark, Nazi past and not use expressions that promote any kind of discrimination.
The teams, finally, will have to determine the exact way in which the various matches will be stopped in the event of racist attacks.
