Matteotti Crisis Giacomo Matteotti (b. 1885, d. 1924), the secretary of the newly formed Socialist Unity Party (Partito Socialista Unitario, PSU) and protégé of
Turati, was an outspoken opponent of
Fascism. In a parliamentary speech on 30 May 1924 he exposed and denounced Fascist foul play in the recent parliamentary elections and demanded that they be annulled. On 10 June, he was abducted and murdered by members of the
Fascist movement, and it soon emerged that several Fascist leaders, including
Mussolini himself, were implicated in the murder. There resulted a public outcry which extended even into Fascist ranks. Most of Italy's non-Fascist parliamentarians reacted with the
Aventine Secession, which gave them moral high ground but which made it impossible to influence political developments in the capital. Hence, Mussolini was not toppled, and he used the fraternization of the anti-Fascist parties to outlaw them all and strengthen his own position.
Socialist Party, Italy
