Roberto Fiore is a close friend of Nick Griffin and a convicted terrorist
A rally attended by Nick Griffin MEP got ugly as Spanish police detained 28 members of a neo-fascist party who tried to disrupt an event held by a rival extremist group attended by British National Party leader at a Madrid hotel.
Those arrested were all members of Spain’s ultra-nationalist Patriotic Socialist Movement and they were arrested after they attacked doormen at the hotel who were trying to prevent them from entering. Four people were lightly injured in the scuffle but did not require medical care, a police spokesman said.
The National Democracy Party which staged the event said it had requested police protection because of fears that far-left groups might try to disrupt it as has happened in the past.
It was not immediately clear why members of the Patriotic Socialist Movement tried to disrupt the event, which also featured Griffin’s close friend and former business partner, Roberto Fiore, the leader of Italian neo-fascist party Forza Nuova and a convicted terrorist.
The presence of people like Roberto Fiore within the BNP, and Griffin’s refusal to distance himself from him, is only further proof that the party’s change is only cosmetic and that beneath there still exists a thoroughly dangerous element to it.
