I specifically refer to the centre left primaries, which were clearly won by Romano Prodi.
But, more specifically I am referring to the paragraphs saying:
Meanwhile, in the southern region of Calabria, a regional opposition leader was shot dead at a polling station.
The police said they suspected the local mafia - known as Ndrangheta - was behind the assassination of the politician, Francesco Fortugno, but they were not ruling out any possibilities.
The fact seems to have induced national interest. The Interior Minister, Giuseppe Pisanu had a meeting in which he meant to show that the State has not deserted the region.
Well, I know exactly what people are thinking down there, because it's exactly the same thing I am thinking.
There will be no change as long as it will be easier to obtain your rights as a favour from a criminal, than obtaining them as a result of a fair trial.
They can plan to send the army again to patrol the cities, but if they don't seriously tackle the existing link between organised crime and corrupt politics the multi billion (yes, I wrote billion) euro per year drug trade industry which flourishes in Calabria [which probably has got the monopoly in trade of cocaine for Europe], will never end.
Giancarlo Bregantini , bishop of Locri-Gerace, where the fact took place (the best bishop I ever met) asks for investigations on property by Guardia di Finanza, the police corp which is mainly related to crimes on property. Will he ever be heard?
