Premier Giorgia Meloni stressed her government's commitment to fighting organized crime on Friday, Italy's National Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Mafia.
"Italy and its institutions bow before the sacrifice of those who have lost their lives at the hands of organized crime: honest citizens, servants of the State, innocent people who have fallen under the cowardly blows of a spineless, ruthless yoke," Meloni said on social media.
"The mafias are a declared enemy of our democracy, an offence to the dignity of the nation.
"For this reason we reiterate our condemnation of every type of mafia and we commit ourselves to fighting it every day with absolute determination and firmness".
