Benito Mussolini is to remain
an honorary citizen of Salò, the northern Italian city where he
set up the Fascist German-puppet Italian Social Republic (RSI)
in the last two and a half years of WWII.
The majority on the town council on Thursday night rejected a
petition from three minority members to strip the Fascist
dictator of the honour he was given in 1924.
"You can't cancel history", said the majority after a vote
that took place with a heavy police presence outside the council
building.
