Premier Matteo Renzi said Monday that the mafia is "still strong, not only in Palermo but particularly in the North with its economic connections".
He was speaking in Sicily on the first day of school where he congratulated students receiving scholarships at the Pino Puglisi institute, named for an anti-mafia priest who was assassinated on his birthday in 1993 in Palmero by the mafia.
"We will fight the mafia every day, starting from these schools," Renzi added.
