Palermo is an extraordinary city, for its history, but it is also a very complex city and I will try to work hard to suppress and prevent any form of crime “, he says again to the Adnkronos. “I am at the disposal of the State car of the province of Palermo, at the disposal of the Prefecture and the Public Prosecutor of Palermo and Termini Imerese, but above all I would like to be with all the police forces of the area because I am aware that only in this way can crime be overcome organized “.” The fight we must do to defeat Cosa Nostra – he says – is to increase the culture of legality and we must ensure that the daughters of the mafia do not become mafia. We must delete the word resignation from the vocabulary “.
