webfact Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Berlusconi outraged at European reaction to his comeback ROME: -- Silvio Berlusconi has lambasted as insulting the response of some European politicians and the media to his announced decision to run for re-election. "The excessive and inappropriate response of some European politicians and foreign media to news of my return to politics is offensive, but not so much in regards to me personally, as in relation to the Italian people’s right of free choice," said the politician. Italy is going through a governmental crisis following the withdrawal of Berlusconi’s "People of Freedom" party from the parliamentary majority that supported Mario Monti’s technocratic cabinet for a year. New parliamentary elections, scheduled for April, will probably be held as early as late February.

davejones Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I don't like him, but surely it is up to the Italian people to decide who they want, not politicians from other countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tragickingdom Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Luckily the press agency involved is Russian. They used tow tell people what their own Tzar Putin wants.

skorchio Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 A certain odious and controversial convicted criminal politician in Asia, seeking his own return, comes to mind. Two peas in a pod. Yeah there certainly are similarities, both have a neck like a jocky's b0l0x, and really do not give a flying duck what the international opinion of them is. They both see themselves as above the law, and allegations of corruption are plentiful. They share vanity, enormous wealth and a refusal to let go the reins of power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffel45 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Silvio Berlusconi. Showman, bon vivant, not a bad tenor, loves beautiful young girls - elected by a majority of Italian people. VERSUS Mario Monti - aka- "Rigour Montis". Technocrat. A grey man. Appointed to run Italy by Angela Merkel. Now Monti is "feeling his Italian side" and doesn't want to play Germany's games any more. Closing German car dealerships in Italy are only outmatched by those in Greece. Democracy is the principal enemy of the EU and its corrupt Commission. Berlusconi vs Monti? Better an elected clown than a traitor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 As if Europe doesn't have enough problems this egotistical, criminal masquerading as a politician decides to return to ensure Italy will be another irritant EU member Frau Merkel will have to slap down.

Potosi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Luckily the press agency involved is Russian. They used tow tell people what their own Tzar Putin wants. Berlusconi is a clown on par with Putin and the King of Swaziland. No, Berlusconi and Putin are quite different. Berlusconi is an oligarch of the sort that staged the holy mess that Russia was during the nineties, and he believes a country should be run like a corporation. Putin exiled pr jailed them all, and returned the resources to partly to largely state controlled enterprises. As a result, the incomes of ordinary Russians have more than doubled for the last ten years, maybe China can rival this, but no Western nation. That's why so many more can now afford a holiday in Thailand. There is a far larger percentage of the Russians in love with Putin, than Italians with Berlusconi.

I Like Thai Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think it's disgraceful that Politicians from other European countries or any country fir that matter would comment negatively towards the Democratic process of a Sovereign Country. What's the difference between a Crook and a Politician The Crook got caught. They're the same everywhere people, get off the high horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunken Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 What a dick. He has a go at other EU politicians who rightly are concerned that Italy's Thaksin could make a comeback. Of course he didn't comment on Italy's stockmarket dropping over 2% on the news. As compared to Montri, Berlisconi is a good argument for an appointed leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think some of you are just jealous you were not invited to the Bonga Bonga parties. Relax. Mr. B only has a core vote of 10-15%. His posturing will encourage the other parties to form a working coalition. All will be well, and Italy can continue to teeter on fiscal insolvency for years to come.

Rob8891 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Berlusconi's myopic outburst is an affront to the people of Italy. Not long ago, he was reported as saying how he wanted out of "this shitty country" (quote). Now he talks of the will of the Italian people. The only way that odious wee man was elected and subsequently held on to power was ny controlling the majority of italian media, and by sheer corruption. Anyone who believes that he could possibly be voted back in a fair election needs to change their meds urgently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) the Italians would be better off even with a member of the Gambino family running the country than this little creep. At least Gambino's understand honour ! Edited December 17, 2012 by midas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckd Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It would seem to me that if he can legally fun for the presidency, then it is up to the Italian voters to determine if they want him back. It is certainly no business of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
