Italian government seeks to penalize the use of English words

As a Quebecer, all I can say is, join the club! For everyone shocked by this, it is much less extensive and onerous than the Quebec languages laws.

Very roughly speaking, similar rules apply to all companies operating in Quebec with 25 or more employees, not just public officials.

There are also laws/government initiatives about the use of Welsh in Wales, so the theory that it's some sort of neo-fascism doesn't fit well there (Wales is run by Labour).
