| NORTH EAST, IL 69% HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT THE MAFIA ALSO LIVES HERE Of Natasha Porcellato «Here the mafia is certainly not that of the collective imagination, with the cap and the lupara. And it is no longer just the one that manages drug trafficking and dealing. We are in a phase where the mafiosi see this region, with its industries and economic activities, as a place to invest dirty money, recycling it, in order to obtain capital “clean”. Like a big washing machine, precisely". These are the words of the chief prosecutor Bruno Cherchi, for a year at the helm of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Venice, he used a few weeks ago during an interview to describe the presence of the mafia in Veneto, but probably a completely similar discussion could also be made for Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the province of Trento. How much Northern public opinion notices the presence of this “large washing machine” close to you? According to data collected by Demos per The Gazzettino, il 28% of those interviewed believe the mafia is very or somewhat present in their area of residence, while it is the 69% to consider it little or not present at all. Looking at the historical series of’Observatory on the North East, we can observe how the percentage of those who admit the existence of the mafia in these lands has increased over time. In the 2010, Indeed, it was the 19% judging that mafia activity is very or fairly present. The percentage then rose to 22% In the 2013 and had stabilized in 2016 (21%). With the values recorded in the latest survey, but, the leap is significant: +7 percentage points compared to a year ago. Which socio-professional sectors are most aware of the mafia presence in their areas of residence? Unemployed (45%) and entrepreneurs (39%), as well as atypical workers (36%) and workers (32%), they seem to be the categories that most perceive the presence of organized crime around them. We detect, but, how it is always a minority who express this type of sensation, while the majority of those interviewed remain convinced that the mafia is little or not present at all in the North East. Even if between 2010 and today the percentage of skeptics has decreased by 9 percentage points, they almost remain in these positions 7 interviewed on 10. This orientation, Furthermore, it tends to spread even more among students (89%) and freelancers (81%), technicians and employees (76%). How the presence of organized crime has changed over the last few years 10 years? The idea that it has increased concerns the 27% of the interviewees, while the 38% believes it has remained stable. One in ten northeasterners, Then, think mafia activity, camorra and n'drangheta has decreased over the last decade and the 16% claims that the mafias, in the North East, there are not and never have been. Pretty consistent (9%), In the end, the percentage of interviewees who are reluctant to answer the question, symptom of how much this topic is, still today, particularly difficult for public opinion. |
