Editing Giulio Andreotti (section)

==Conclusion==
Andreotti’s role in Gladio remains contentious. Supporters view him as a pragmatic statesman navigating Cold War tensions, while critics see him as complicit in a shadow government that undermined democracy through violence and corruption. His 1990 disclosure, while historic, was seen as a controlled release to limit damage, as declassified documents (including those released under Prime Minister Mario Draghi in 2021) continue to reveal Gladio’s scope. Andreotti’s ties to P2 and Gladio, alongside his Mafia allegations, cemented his image as a symbol of Italy’s murky political underbelly, where power, secrecy, and subversion intertwined. He died in 2013, leaving a legacy of unresolved questions about his role in one of Italy’s darkest chapters.
