Italian politicians react with outrage over a video showing a journalist being attacked by suspected neo-fascists in Turin.

The reporter, who works for the daily newspaper La Stampa, stumbled upon a gathering of people on Saturday evening while walking along a street in the city. It turned out to be members of the neo-fascist organization Casa Pound who had gathered outside a local venue with smoke bombs and fireworks.

When the reporter started filming with his phone, a group of men approached, heard on the video asking "are you one of us?", before attacking the journalist.

Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, who leads the far-right party Brothers of Italy, describes the attack as "unacceptable" and adds that she "hopes the perpetrators will be identified as soon as possible".

The leader of the social democratic opposition party PD, Elly Schlein, condemns what she describes as a "climate of impunity".

"What more is needed for neo-fascist organizations to be dissolved?" she asks.

In another notable violent incident in recent days, two gay men were beaten up by several people in Rome.

Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani condemns in a post on X "all forms of violence" and writes that "there is far too much violence and intolerance in Italy against those one disagrees with".
