...Italy, this speed was almost unprecedented. But the politicians had been scared by the riots the Communists had staged a fortnight ago to protest the 24 neo-Fascist votes that gave the Tambroni government its majority. The riots had not amounted to much in themselves. But they vividly demonstrated that the Communists had at last latched on to a popular issue after years of political isolation, shocked the squabbling non-Communist parties into amenability. Even his own Christian Democratic Party deserted Tambroni. Explained a spokesman: "This government no longer corresponds to the political situation...

The Communists, who have been chafing under the political ostracism they have suffered of recent years, saw a splendid opportunity to take advantage of the smoldering resentment many Italians felt when Fernando Tambroni accepted the support of the 24 neo-Fascist Deputies to form his government.

Some newspaper reports alleged that Hynes had visited the Neo-Fascist headquarters, had seen a film glorifying Mussolini's last stand, asked a café orchestra to play the forbidden Blackshirt hymn Giovinezza, topped...
...speech, Mendès, like all aspiring politicians, had to undergo a process known as the contradictoire, in which a candidate is required to hear out and then answer needling questions from the floor. While he sat in enforced silence, a reedy-voiced neo-Fascist accused Mendès of changing his Jewish name, a grinning Communist, waving clippings from L'Humanité, blamed him for German rearmament ("He gave the spiked helmet back to the Germans"), and an M.R.P. spokesman cried that Mendès had stolen the credit from M.R.P.'s Georges Bidault for ending...
