Mass protests against mafia in Italy

Hundreds of thousands of Italians have demonstrated Tuesday against the Mafia.

The demonstrators marched with flags, banners and photographs of victims through the streets. President Sergio Mattarella was a day before visiting Locri. He said among other things that mafiosi ' have no honor, '' quoting ANSA news agency.

A local priest and mafia-critic who had received the threat over graffiti on a church that he is not an agent should behave, retired little of this and said: ' Today we are all agents in Locri. We commemorate the many members of the security forces who have lost their lives. ''
