Campaign For Social Rights After World War I
At the end of World War I, Fr Minzoni returned to Argenta, where he joined the Christian Party (Partito Popolare Italiano). Even if this was a semi-conservative party, he became friends with the socialist labor union leader Natale Gaiba, who was assassinated by the blackshirts in 1923. This and many other episodes turned him against Fascism. In addition to ideas about social rights, he became increasingly convinced of the need for cooperation, thus becoming an open enemy of the fascist regime that strongly favored corporativism.
