Hundreds in Milan perform Nazi salute during procession in remembrance of 1975 murder
Hundreds of people gathered in Milan on Wednesday, April 29, to commemorate the anniversary of the murder of activist Sergio Ramelli.
Footage from the event showed protesters marching through the streets carrying Italian flags and lit torches, alongside a large banner reading “Honour to the fallen comrades.”
Some participants were seen raising their hands in a Nazi salute while chanting “Heil Hitler” during the procession.
The gathering later moved to Via Paladini, where attendees paid homage and laid flowers at Sergio Ramelli’s memorial site.
Sergio Ramelli was a 19-year-old militant from the Youth Front, the youth branch of the Italian Social Movement party. He was killed on April 29, 1975, in Milan in a political assassination carried out by militants belonging to the left-wing Workers Vanguard.
