Lazio, Olympia trainer: “I’m right, mine is a military salute”

“I am sorry for what happened, in Spain the fascist gesture is made with the arm extended in a straight line. In Italy it seems it is also like this, giving oneself a pat on the chest. I am an absolutely right-wing person, of the party Vox in Spain as well as many footballer friends, but not of a fascist idea, that’s not really in my mentality. ” Thus, at the Adnkronos, Juan Bernabé, the historic trainer of the Aquila Olympia, symbol of Lazio, is justified. The 53-year-old Spaniard is in fact the protagonist of a video that has gone viral in which, at the end of the match against Inter last Saturday, he raises his right arm several times to the sky at the fans who shout ‘Duce! Duce! ‘. “I am a man who has traveled the world, who does business all over the world and who has relationships with people of all races. It was a gesture dictated by impulse – adds the falconer – celebrating the end of a game. military salute, never fascist. However, that’s okay, these things are part of life, there are bad and good times. And this is a bad time for me. ” (by Silvia Mancinelli)
