Roberto Fiore (born April 15, 1959 in Rome) is an Italian politician.
Fiore spent much of the 1980s in the United Kingdom, where it was alleged by the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight that he was working for the Secret Intelligence Service.[1] This has also been alleged by the Sunday Express, in 2000, citing a source within MI5. Fiore denied any connections to British intelligence.[2]
In England Fiore became a close friend of Nick Griffin and following Griffin's departure from the British National Front he helped to organise the International Third Position, becoming a founder member.
In 1986, thanks to their friendship with Nick Griffin and other far right activists, Roberto Fiore and Massimo Morsello managed to found "Meeting Point", which was later renamed "Easy London". Easy London is a society that helps young students and workers live and work in London by providing jobs, beds, and contracts. Fiore's association with London has remained as, in August 2007, he became sole director of CL English Language, a college for overseas students in the west of the city.[3]
Fiore has since returned to Italy and is active in politics as the leader of the far-right Forza Nuova party (a group he co-founded with Morsello), one of the constituent parts of Alternativa Sociale, allied in the House of Freedoms for the 2006 political elections in Italy.
In 2008 he joined as a speaker on the right wing festival Nordiska Festivalen (Nordic Festival) in Sweden to speak about European identity. He participated in Budapest on 23rd October 2008 to the commemorations of Hungarian Insurrection against communism in 1956, at the invitation of the Hungarian radical nationalist movement HVIM. He also took up the seat in the European Parliament vacated by Alessandra Mussolini.
