Roberto Farinacci, whose speech still smacks of the taproom and the railway shop, became Secretary General of the Fascist Party. His single-track mind knew and knows only devotion to Mussolini and ruthless suppression of his enemies. Within a year he has drawn the discipline of Fascismo as tight as a drumhead. He has "governed by castor oil"?introduced into anti-Fascist throats while anti-Fascist noses were roughly tweaked by Farinacci's Selvaggi ("Savages"). He has earned the title "Right Fist of the Fascist Party." He has been denounced by Cardinal Gasparri as a "vulgar demagog." None...

No. Matteotti was kidnaped because he gravely offended Italy's collective sentiment of patriotism, because he undermined our national solidarity, because he was outspoken in his praise of the enemy of the State...
...Gentlemen of the Jury, do your duty. I ask for no clemency for Dumini. I will not remind you to what martyrdom, to what vile defamation, to what wicked provocations we Fascist! were continuously subjected for months after Matteotti's disappearance. I will not remind you of the suffering of our mothers and our children when we blackshirts daily left our houses without knowing whether we would return. I .will not mention the tears of the mothers, the relatives of the martyrs to our cause, when at the moment they thought their sacrifices might have been made in vain...
