(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 2 - Clashes with police forces in riot
gear occurred Friday in Naples during a march by about thirty
young people protesting against the presence in the southern
city of anti-gay general and European candidate for the
rightwing League Party, Roberto Vannacci.
Vannacci, 55, a former paratroop commander who became a rightist
darling with a self-published bestseller slamming gays, Blacks,
Jews, feminists and other minorities, has been suspended form
his post and was tapped as EP candidate last week by League
leader Matteo Salvini despite rumblings within the nationalist
party.
Most recently he has been accused of calling for separate school
classes for the disabled, a charge he denies. (ANSA).
