Mafia interference? In Italy? I thought they defeated them and corruption as well?

Sicily is kinda it’s own thing, and basically where most of the Italian Mafia is from.

Eminent domain is necessary for many projects. It should be restricted, but as a concept it is not inherently bad. Especially in building more trains it should be used
