casa pound?

[Sasha]

aperantly there is stuff hapening around casa pound (famous fascist squat in italy), as far as i gathered they atacked anti-fascists and imigrants and then got closed down by the cops.
100 antifascists in an retaliatory action atacked the squat with metalbars, rocks and molotovs.
a nearby empty school is squated and established as an antifascist action squat.

anyone got an coherent raport or updates?

Where in italy is this?

the original squat is in rome but the reports seem to mention napoli (where they also have an building) hence my confusion.

Casa Pound grew from an initial fascist squat to a movement.
Ideologically, it is oriented towards the 'National-Syndicalist' roots of Italian Fascism, akin to the German 'Autonome Nationalisten' espousing Strasserism.
Casa Pound has a building in Rome and one in Napoli, Salerno and Avellino although i'm not sure if they're all squats.
Casa Pound is led by Gianluca Innone (of the fascist Rechtsrock group Zeta-Zero-Alfa) and, if i'm not mistaken, actually stands in the local elections with a small pressure-party.
It is closely affiliated with the MSI/Fiamma Tricolore.
It seems to serve a huge symbolic role for the international fascist movement as the Belgian N-SA and the Spanish MSR seem to orient themselves towards their political positions and have strong ties with them.

Also, a lot of violence seems to originate from Casa Pound, somewhere last year an antifascists was stabbed (to death if I recall correctly) and as a retaliation a bomb went of at the Rome Casa Pound squat. It's difficult to tell what happens there though since almost all news sources are in Italian and babelfish isn't helpfull at all :crying:

Momenti di forte tensione in città durante il corteo organizzato contro l'occupazione di un ex convento da parte dell'organizzazione di estrema destra, CasaPound Italia. Tre agenti di polizia sono rimasti feriti. Alcuni manifestanti hanno tentato di sfondare il cordone protettivo delle forze dell'ordine lungo Sant'Agostino degli Scalzi in prossimità di Salita San Raffaele, dove si trova l'ex convento occupato da appartenenti a Casa Pound.

A restare feriti sono stati due agenti del reparto mobile ed un funzionario di polizia. Anche un manifestante è rimasto ferito.

Sono stati però respinti dalla polizia. Ne se sono seguiti lancio di petardi, fumogeni, bottiglie e sassi contro gli agenti. I manifestanti indossano caschi protettivi e si proteggono dietro pannelli di plastica che riportano immagini di immigrati e dell'Olocausto e scritte contro il razzismo e l'omofobia.

Secondo quanto conferma la Questura, i manifestanti hanno lanciato contro gli agenti 'san pietrini ' e diverse bombe carta. E' a quel punto che la polizia ha lanciato due lacrimogeni.

Il corteo di protesta è diretto verso piazza Cavour per la sua conclusione.

Nella zona degli incidenti, a Santa Teresa degli Scalzi, è scattato anche un blocco stradale attuato con i cassonetti dell'immondizia. Nel blocco stradale è rimasto coinvolto anche un gruppo di turisti a bordo del bus rosso scoperto, il city sightseeing. Lo stabile, un ex convento, di proprietà del Comune, è stato occupato dagli aderenti all'organizzazione di estrema destra "affinchè tolto dall'abbandono", sia possibile, dicono i promotori dell'iniziativa, farne un centro popolare aggregativo.


As far as I can tell it says that there has been a standoff between Casa Pound and the police concerning the occupation of a building in Napoli and so far three police officers have been injured.

Also, there seem to have been antifascist manifestations and skirmishes with the police.
Can anyone translate this adequately and/or give me more info? It seems to be hard to come by.
