Mussolini: World should 'beg forgiveness of Israel'
By Adi Schwartz
"Not only Gianfranco Fini, but the entire world,
including the Vatican and the pope, should beg
forgiveness of Israel," Alessandra Mussolini,
granddaughter of Italy's World War II dictator and
a member of parliament for the National Alliance
party, declared in an interview with Haaretz on
Sunday.
The interview coincided with
the arrival of Fini, her
party's leader and Italy's
deputy prime minister, for
his first official visit to
Israel, during which he has
said he intends to apologize
to the Jewish people for
Italy's Holocaust-era
crimes.
Mussolini's statement is no small matter from
someone who once declared: "My grandfather is
the greatest of them all; I will continue to
believe this all my life." Her father, Romano
Mussolini, once said that Alessandra is "more
of a Mussolini than me or the whole family put
together." In January 2002, when Fini retracted
his famous statement that Mussolini was the
greatest man of the 20th century, Alessandra
was so angry that she demonstratively crossed
parliamentary lines to sit with members of the
Forza Italia party instead of her own. "In the
end, he will circumcise you all," she taunted
other members of her party, "so that Fini will
finally be able to make his pilgrimage to
Israel." Of Fini himself, she declared: "I
don't like politicians who try to distort
history for their own purposes."
Sunday, when asked what she thought of Fini's
plan to apologize to the Jewish people, she
said that, in her mind, he had already done so,
at the 1995 party conference in which Fini
denounced anti-Semitism. "What is important to
me is that Fini listen to the people, as I did
during my visits to Israel," she said.
Mussolini, then a movie actress, visited Israel
11 years ago, at which time she also visited
Yad Vashem. "I saw the piles of shoes, and I
was shocked. When I went outside, I saw
soldiers walking around with guns, and I
thought how sad it was that you are still not
assured even of life itself," she recalled.
As for today, "we need to develop mutual
understanding, not disputes, since we are on
the same side," she said.
Most analysts view Fini's visit to Israel as an
attempt to obtain a stamp of approval for the
party's claim that it has abandoned its fascist
roots. But Mussolini said the visit is
important mainly because of "the [terrorist]
assault on Italy and Europe." The deaths of 19
Italian soldiers in a suicide bombing in Iraq
and the recent terror attacks in Istanbul "make
Italy Israel's ally," she explained. Referring
to a recent survey that found Europeans view
Israel as the No. 1 threat to world peace,
Mussolini declared that Europe is not afraid of
Israel, but of terrorism.
彼女はソフィーア･ローレンの姪でもある。
Mussolini, a niece of movie star Sophia Loren,
burst onto the political scene in 1992, when
she was elected to parliament as a member of
the neo-fascist party in her home district of
Naples. Over the ensuing years, she made it
clear that she was proud to be descended from
Italy's dictator. But in an interview with La
Republica earlier this month, she declared that
the National Alliance has truly abandoned its
neo-fascist past, and that this was a natural
development.
Asked what her grandfather would have thought of
Fini, she replied: "I don't want to answer
that. He is already dead, and I'm a different
person ... My family is one thing, and politics
are another. Permit me not to answer that."
