Editing Aginter Press (section)

==The organization’s activities included==
	•	Training in Covert Operations: Aginter Press ran training programs in sabotage, bomb-making, assassination techniques, and infiltration. Its operatives were taught to pose as journalists to gain access to sensitive areas or information.

	•	Support for Colonial Wars: Aginter Press was active in Portugal’s African colonies (Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau), where it supported colonial forces against independence movements. It conducted operations to destabilize anti-colonial groups, often in coordination with Portuguese military and intelligence.

	•	Involvement in the [[“Strategy of Tension”]]: Aginter Press is strongly linked to Italy’s “strategy of tension,” a campaign of terrorist attacks in the late 1960s and early 1970s aimed at creating fear and justifying authoritarian measures. The most notable incident was the Piazza Fontana bombing in Milan on December 12, 1969, which killed 17 people and injured 88. Italian investigations later pointed to Aginter Press operatives, including Guérin-Sérac and his associate Stefano Delle Chiaie, as potential collaborators with Italian neo-fascists in this and other attacks. The goal was to blame leftist groups, thereby discrediting communism and strengthening right-wing governments.

	•	International Operations: Aginter Press extended its reach beyond Europe and Africa, reportedly operating in Latin America and other regions to counter leftist insurgencies. It collaborated with other far-right groups and regimes, leveraging its network to conduct espionage and sabotage.
