ROME For the second time in less than a month, right-wing extremists from around Europe met in Milan.
About 300 people, among them representatives of Greeces Golden Dawn and the British National Party, met at a Milan hotel on Dec. 20, according to local media.
The gathering, organized by the Italian far-right party Forza Nuova, was intended as the first meeting of a new pan-European party called Alliance for Peace and Freedom.
The group aims to protect, celebrate and promote our common Christian values and European cultural heritage and is opposed to the advocates of US hegemony in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, according to its website.
Speakers at the Saturday gathering defended traditional family values and criticized Zionist globalism and immigration, according to local reports.
Also Saturday, several hundred people held an anti-fascist counter-demonstration outside Milans provincial government building
