Italian inertia in the face of mafia wars

Giuseppe d'Avanzo analyses the response to the murders, on August 15th, of six Italians in Duisbourg, killings that have been connected to mafia clan feuding: "Why should we act surprised? For having imported our 'rot' into Europe and the word? For a long time the money of our mafia has been circulating through European channels. ... It happened in Germany, but it could just as well have been in the Netherlands, Spain, Columbia, Australia, Canada, or Montenegro. That is to say in all the countries where the Calabrian 'ndrangheta' is present. ... The time has come to question our capacity to at least set up a means of control: why hasn't the 'ndrangheta' been given a place on the political agenda as the Hamas has? ... On the whole, Italian Politics has opted for inertia as a strategy to fight the mafia."
