ITALIAN economy undersecretary Claudio Durigon has resigned in a row over his suggestion that a park in his hometown should be renamed after the brother of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
Mr Durigon said that the League Party, of which he remains a member, was committed to restoring the original name of the park in Latina, Lazio, to honour Arnaldo Mussolini.
The park was renamed in 2017 to commemorate two anti-mafia magistrates who were murdered by the Sicilian mafia in 1992.
At a rally earlier this month, Mr Durigon told his supporters: “That is our history that someone wanted to cancel by changing the name of that park.
“It must return to being the Mussolini Park.”
His comments sparked widespread backlash, with politicians saying they would put forward a parliamentary vote of no confidence if he did not quit.
Mr Durigon resigned on Thursday night, admitting that he had made a mistake and apologising to the families of the magistrates.
“I am not, and never have been, a fascist,” he said in a statement.
