To be precise, for my next meeting, i have to travel across the island from the east to its capital city. Almost 700000 people live in palomino for a long time, it was seen as the stronghold of the Sicilian Mafia until popes of the population started to push back. A 2 man you see behind me on the facade.

Smith, jim, leaving for the sun in the Historic Center of palermo, i meet key out of wood tro from the anti Mafia Movement a deal. So more and more Business People are refusing to Pay Protection money to the mafia and theyre making no secret of it. Theyre putting stickers in their shop windows. Mm. A lot of people ask us to neighborhoods about the mafia. Yeah. Why, what do you think behind this fascination a lot, ill see whats so booked up for that. Oh yes, unfortunately, thats true. And it is highly detrimental to those who are trying to fight against the mafia every day. Very often, this fascination emanates from stories and books and movies of the godfather, for example, even. But theres nothing charming or glamorous about the mafia. Father, the mafia is violence and harassment and when the functional law mafia yolanda saw everybody got fuel on it. But when i did slows Association Start their work. Okay.

And thats why theyre not paying all of a seamless up. Unfortunately, theres no way of knowing how many are actually paying. Its remarkable how valentina and many other Business People in sicily taking a stand against the mafia. Tragedies occur almost daily and the poor to spell ammo and across the region as a whole. The Mediterranean Sea is now the worlds deadliest sea crossing. Last year alone, almost 1600 people died or went missing, trying to reach your up from africa.
