"For twenty years, Italy was ruled by a Fascist regime in which all democratic debate was abolished. Subsequently, a single party, the Christian Democrats, monopolized power, especially in Sicily, albeit with occasional allies, from the day of Liberation onwards. For its part, the opposition, even in the fight against the mafia, has not always proved equal to the task, confusing the political struggle against Christian Democracy with the judicial proceedings against Cosa Nostra affiliates, or feeding on prejudices: “Nothing can be done against the mafia as long as this government with these men is in power.”"
