  2. Years of lead (Italy) The Years of Lead was a period of socio-political turmoil in Italy that lasted from the late 1960s into the early 1980s. This period was marked by a wave of terrorism, initially called “Opposing Extremisms.” There was widespread social conflict and unprecedented acts of terrorism carried out by both right- and left-wing paramilitary groups. The "years of lead" began with the shooting death of Antonio Annarumma in 1969 and the Piazza Fontana bombing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_of_lead_(Italy)

  3. Political Parties-All Oppositions There were many Political Parties, all with different Ideologies that they wanted to implement in Italy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Historical_Italian_political_parties

  4. General Oppositions Christian Democracy (Italy) (Main power) Vs. Opposing parties who believe in: Anti-immigrant Neo-fascist Militantcommunist

  5. Anti-immigrant Nativism (politics) Nativism typically means opposition to immigration or efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered hostile or alien to the natural culture, and it is assumed that they cannot be assimilated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-immigrant

  6. Neo-fascist Neo-fascism is a post–World War IIideology that includes significant elements of fascism. The term neo-fascist may apply to groups that express a specific admiration for Benito Mussolini and Italian Fascism or any other fascist leader/state.

  7. Neo-fascist Neo-fascism believes in: Nationalism anti-immigration policies Nativism anti-communism opposition to the parliamentary system liberal democracy.

  8. Neo-fascistItalian Fascism-Different Parties National Fascist Party which under Benito Mussolini ruled the Kingdom of Italy from 1922 until 1943 Republican Fascist Party which ruled the Italian Social Republic from 1943 to 1945 Post-war Italian Social Movement, and subsequent Italian neo-fascist movements.

  9. Militant Communist In Marxist theory, communism is a specific stage of historical development that inevitably emerges from the development of the productive forces that leads to a superabundance of material wealth, allowing for distribution based on need and social relations based on freely-associated individuals.

  10. Militant CommunistDifferent Parties Red Brigades: The Red Brigades (BrigateRosse in Italian, often abbreviated as the BR) were a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group based in Italy and active, via a number of political assassinations, during the "Years of Lead". Italian Communist Party: Outlawed during the Fascist regime, the party played a major part in the Italian resistance movement. It changed its name in 1943 to PCI and became the strongest political party of the Italian left after World War II, attracting the support of about a third of the voters during the 1970s. At the time it was the biggest communist party in the West (1.8 million members and 34.4% of the vote in 1976).

  11. Main Oppositions Christian Democracy (Italy) (Main power) Vs Neo-fascistItalian Social Movement (MSI) Italian Communist Party (PCI) & Red Brigades

  12. Main Conflicts An attempt to integrate the neo-fascistItalian Social Movement (MSI) into the Tambroni government led to rioting and was short-lived. The Christian Democrats (DC) were instrumental in the Socialist party gaining power in the 1960s and they created a coalition. The assassination of the Christian Democratic (DC) leader Aldo Moro in 1978 ended the strategy of historic compromise between the DC and the Italian Communist Party (PCI). The assassination was carried out by the Red Brigades, then led by Mario Moretti.

  21.

In the same maneuver, was created the Volunteer Militia for National Security or MVSN.

  22. The Challenging Years • The 70s saw the body, beyond the homologous areas of the Carabinieri, under operating pressures of commitment and seriousness comparable to a state of siege. • In this decade there were indeed dramatic increase in crime which reached dangerous numbers tragic simultaneously in many "specialists", including (but not limited to) terrorism, attempted coups, banditry (kidnapping), smuggling, trafficking in narcotics, robbery, extortion, Mafia robberies, racketeering and of 'wear, as well as political effervescence that for many years resulted in daily armed clashes between young people from opposing factions and between them and the police.

  25. Public Sentiments Regarding The Legal System

  26. Italian extradited over 1970s kidnap and murder of duke "I have exhausted all the legal avenues," MrMariotti told the Guardian before he was escorted from his home by police to be flown back to Italy. "This is a fight that has been going on for 11 years. I think the British just want to wash their hands of me. "I was a friend of the victim's son and I knew one of those people in the gang but I am totally innocent," he said. "When the gang was convicted none of them had ever heard of me. I am now 66 years old, I am going back to go to prison for many years. You don't need to use your imagination to know I will die there." His employer, Nick Knight, said that he and his colleagues would continue to campaign for MrMariotti. "The evidence against him - it's rubbish," he said. "We are not going to let this lie." A website campaigning on his behalf is to be launched.

  27. Direct Democracy in Italyby Roland Ernewith comments by Bruno Kaufmann No. 352 of May 25, 1970, since the governing political parties never displayed any great interest in enabling the "abrogative referendum." This is hardly surprising, since this instrument might counterbalance and limit the power of the government. In 1969/70 this situation accidentally changed, when the major governmental party, the Christian democrats, made a deal with its coalition partners whereby they would support the adoption of Law No. 352 in exchange for Christian democrat support for a law that allowed civic divorce. http://www.iniref.org/italy.html
