Premier Giorgia Meloni says in a TV
interview to be broadcast Tuesday night that she told her
six-year-old daughter that "the goodies always win" in
explaining the arrest after 30 years on the run of Mafia
superboss Matteo Messina Denaro.
"The good guys, in the end, always win. That's how you explain
it to a six-year-old girl". Meloni says in the Fuori del Coro
chat show on Mediaset, referring to her daughter Ginevra she has
with her partner, a Mediaset employee.
Meloni visited Palermo on Monday, when Messina Denaro was
arrested in a cancer clinic in the Palermo capital, and said she
wanted January 16 to become a national day dedicated to the
people who combat organized crime.
She said Monday was a "historic" day but stressed that the mafia
has not been defeated yet.
"We have not won the war," she said. "But this was a fundamental
battle to win and it is a big blow to organised crime".
Meloni added that her government would take action to ensure
that people do not turn to the Mafia because the State fails to
provide answers to their problems.
