Italians Trust Mattarella But Not Political Parties, Survey Reveals

Rome: Italians trust President Sergio Mattarella but don’t have much confidence in their political parties, national statistics institute Istat said Wednesday, confirming previous surveys.

Three quarters of respondents had confidence in the police, slightly down on last time, while faith in the fire brigade was steady at 90%.
