Social Media Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian PM who bounced back from sex scandals and corruption allegations, has died aged 86. He died at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, according to Italian media. In April, Berlusconi was treated for a lung infection linked to a previously undisclosed case of chronic leukaemia. A flamboyant billionaire media tycoon, Berlusconi first came to office in 1994 and led four governments until 2011. He led the centre-right Forza Italia party which went into coalition under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after elections in September, when he was elected to Italy's upper house, the Senate. Reacting to the news, Italy's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Berlusconi's death left a "huge void". "An era is over... Farewell Silvio," Mr Crosetto wrote in a tweet, adding that he "loved" Berlusconi "very much". This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Gaccha Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 32 minutes ago, scottiejohn said: The Italian version of Boris in many ways! This is very accurate. Until Berloscuni, politicians covered up their dirty private lives and demanded journalists not intrude into them. Berloscuni was an innovator. He grasped that the best way in hedonistic modern times is to deflect attention from policies by encouraging the media to look at his naughty private life. The media would ask him serious economic questions, and he would ask why don't they talk about his naughty swimming pool party. You can see that Boris and Trump took notice of this new style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
