The State must fight Campania's
Camorra mafia "hand-to-hand, by creating jobs," Premier Matteo
Renzi said on a campaign visit to the southern Italian region
Friday.
The expression 'Land of Fires' - a reference to illegal
toxic waste dumps by the Camorra in the Campania region - must
become obsolete by the end of his term in office, the premier
said.
"We must make a commitment," said Renzi, who is in Campania
to support the Democratic Party (PD) candidate for governor,
Vincenzo De Luca.
"By the end of this legislature the expression 'Land of
Fires' must be a thing of the past".
Renzi added he is proud to have ushered in Italy's new
environmental protection law, which adds new pollution and
environmental disaster-related crimes to the penal code.
"This government won't be lectured about legality by
anyone," the premier continued.
"Our anti-corruption law (ratified on Thursday)
reintroduces the crime of false accounting, which others had
abolished".
