Rome, 15 April. (Adnkronos) – “This evening we present Sonia Alfano’s candidacy for the European elections, Isole constituency. Sonia is a strong and courageous woman who, since the death of her father, a journalist killed by the mafia on 8 January 1993, has made her life and work a direct testimony of resistance and the fight against organized crime”. Thus Carlo Calenda on Twitter.

“Not only, in fact, is he President of the National Association of Innocent Family Victims of the Mafia and a member of the Presidential Office of the “Antonino Caponnetto” Foundation aimed at fighting the Mafia and organized crime, but in 2009 he decided to run for the European Parliament and Once elected, she fought until she managed to establish the first special anti-mafia commission of the European Parliament which she presided over. She joins the Alde group”.
