Piera Aiello in Ragusa – ReteIblea

The Hon. Piera Aiello, emblem of the fight against the mafia, an expression of the “Freedom” list, was in the province to meet supporters and friends. A prestigious presence that makes this period necessary to illustrate programs and objectives even more stimulating. Aiello will meet his first friends and representatives of various associations present in the area in search of an increasingly frank and sincere discussion with the electorate. Says Saverio Buscemi, Ragusa city councilor: “The BBC published its list of the 100 most influential women in 2019. The annual list included women from all over the world: from Italy, in that year, also Piera Aiello. She was the first woman witness of Italian justice. She was the widow of the son of a boss – who she was forced to marry when she was 14 – she collaborated with Paolo Borsellino. The BBC speaks of her as the “ghost politician”: during the electoral campaign of that period for the political elections, her face remained covered by a veil, due to threats from the mafia. Only once you won the seat in Montecitorio did you show your face. Now we are happy to continue to show it to ensure that her message can reach an ever wider portion of the electorate who wants to know Piera”.
