~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ He was the leader of the United Socialist Party in the Chamber of Deputies. He spoke out against fascism and Il Duce, and for a time was the leader of the little opposition the party had. He was mysteriously murdered in June of 1924, after the publication of his book The Fascisti Exposed: A Year of Fascist Domination. Three men were arrested for the crime, only one was convicted with a short jail sentence. It is very likely Mussolini was responsible for the incident in one way or another; indeed, speaking to the Parliament on January 3, 1925, Mussolini declared that he took all "political, moral and historical" responsibility for the murder. Whoever the killer was, he was seen as a hero by many of the zealous propaganda-fed fascists in Italy. The death of Matteotti sparked Fascist criticism, but Mussolini was soon able to use his influence over the media to regain the people's confidence. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
