Five years ago, the police were arresting the chiefs of the neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (M.S.I.); last week, in elections involving 40% of Italy's voters, the Fascists and their monarchist cronies made the largest gains of any coalition, captured Naples (Italy's third city), Bari, Foggia, Salerno, twelve out of 31 provincial councils and 21% of the vote-and emerged as the third party in Italy...
Near war's end, Blandino was clapped into a Turin jail by Italian partisans, released after a year. He went to Switzerland and this year returned to Italy. He re-established contacts with ex-servicemen and chaplains of Mussolini's Republican Army and with the neo-Fascist Movimento Italiano Femminile (Italian Women's Movement), to whom he propounded his idea: revive the Mercedarian tradition for liberation of Italy's 20 war criminals convicted by Allied tribunals, and 1,600 sentenced by Italian courts. Embittered ex-servicemen, theological students, relatives of prisoners gave him support-offers...
...people who met last week in Rome's stifling little Teatro Valle were Fascists-or the closest thing to Fascists at large in Italy today.

Since there is no Charles de Gaulle in Italy, the Reds needed an ostensible target, and they chose what they call the "neofascist aggressors," a term in which they include the beaten and disintegrating Qualunquists (Common Man Front) and the Movimento Sociale Italiano, which is frankly fascist but small and weak. Actually the Communist target was the pro-Western, Christian Democratic Government of Premier Alcide de Gasperi. The Communist objective was to test the efficiency and self-control of the Government police...
...elections for a new National Assembly. After a few days' hesitation, opposition groups which had scarcely suspected one another's existence came out of the underground. Two weeks after the proclamation, in a rented schoolroom on Lisbon's Rua do Bemformoso, the first meeting of the Movimento Unidade Democratica (M.U.D.) was held. Much to M.U.D.'s surprise, supporters poured in by the thousands. Every paper except two Government sheets supported M.U.D. in a campaign of invective against Salazar, who was shocked by the hatred he had fomented by 20 years of suppression...
