And therefore that one [The Italian Social Republic of Salò] is also included.”

(…) One cannot equate who was fighting for a right cause of equality and freedom, and who, apart of goodfaith, was on the wrong side.

(…) We cannot deny ourselves history, and Fascism was a dictatorship that denied some fundamental freedoms.”
