00:00 Tens of thousands of people have marched through the streets of Rome to remember victims of
00:04 the Italian Mafia and to demand justice.
00:07 The demonstration takes place annually on the first day of spring.
00:12 Students came from all over Italy carrying signs bearing anti-mafia slogans.
00:16 The mayor of Rome was joined by hundreds of victims' families.
00:20 "The mafia is stronger than ever.
00:23 Today they don't kill anymore.
00:24 Today they just buy.
00:25 It's economic power and corruption.
00:26 Corruption is the most dangerous weapon.
00:27 In Bari there are 14 criminal clans.
00:32 It's true that in Bari the mafia exists, but it's also true that in Bari there is a city
00:38 that resists, that doesn't turn its head, that doesn't turn its head to the other side.
00:42 There are thousands and thousands of people who do their work honestly every day and there
00:47 are many, many more criminals."
00:51 Following a procession, over a thousand names of all the victims of the mafia were read
00:58 out.
