Franchino (ultras Lazio): “Giving a fascist to fans justifies closing borders”

“Probably the closure of Marseille to Lazio fans is due more to the clashes that took place in 2018, than to anything else. It is well known that Interpol is mobilizing for two supporters in Europe, Feyenoord and Lazio, and the something from ultras can also make me proud. I find it absurd, however, that we always reiterate the fact of being a fascist or not, now an adjective rather than an ideology. A label that is fashionable, a way to justify, under the banner of ‘ politically correct ‘, measures that can be criticized differently, such as the closure of borders and highways to fans “. Franco Costantino, Lazio’s head ultras better known as Franchino, thus comments to Adnkronos on Marseille’s decision to close the accesses to the city to Biancocelesti supporters because they are “fascist and violent”. “I’m amazed that they didn’t talk about it at the G20 – he jokes – who knows maybe next time”.
