Roberto Fiore (born 15 April 1959 in Rome) is an Italian politician and a founding member of the European third position (terza via) movement which is against both communism and capitalism. He is the leader of the Italian party Forza Nuova. He self-identified as a fascist.
After the police found a large quantity of explosives and weapons in a local office of the political organization Terza Posizione in the 1980s, Roberto Fiore migrated to the United Kingdom in order to avoid arrest. The anti-fascist magazine Searchlight claimed that Roberto was working for the Secret Intelligence Service. This has also been alleged by the Sunday Express, in 2000, citing a source within MI5. Fiore denied any connections to British intelligence. The allegation that he worked for MI6 was also made in para 2.12.11 of the Report drawn up on behalf of the European Parliament's Committee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia, 1991 (The Ford Report)
Fiore is generally considered to be a neofascist leader. In England Fiore became a close friend of Nick Griffin and following Griffin's departure from the National Front he helped to organise the International Third Position, becoming a founding member. Fiore had connections with the traditionalist philosopher Julius Evola and has written about topics such as traditionalism and the third position.
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.
