Silvio Berlusconi, his first interview outside the hospital: “Marta Fascina has outdone herself”

“I’m better. It was difficult, but I was always hopeful. I trusted the help of God and the professionalism of the doctors”. Silvio Berlusconi, former prime minister and leader of Forza Italia, al. Corriere della Sera, at the first post-hospital meeting, a few days after leaving the hospital. Berlusconi has chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, was hospitalized for a month and a half. The first thought was for her friend Marta Fascina, a blue MP: “Marta surpassed herself, stood by me with unparalleled care and dedication – she added – This time too I felt friendship and sincere love, sometimes even touching, from many people, even strangers”.

“I never stopped working – he said again – I made indications and recommendations about the campaign to the administrative authorities”. When asked about a possible restructuring of the party in light of the European elections, the former prime minister replied: “The history of the FI is one of continuous renewal. But for it to be credible, we must first renew ourselves. “No one. Forza Italia has an expert and competent national and local executive class. But they are not and will not be alone, for I will continue to fully fulfill my responsibilities as founder and leader. “Relations with allies” are absolutely excellent. This, of course, does not take away the fact that FI has a unique role to play. With the Democratic Party gradually shifting to the left and the decline of the so-called Third Pole, the central space is expanding and the FI is coherently presiding over it. Renzi often says the right things, but until we can draw political conclusions from them by choosing our midfield, we can’t go beyond the occasional rapprochement in Parliament”.

On the other hand, regarding the future of the party, he said, “I see an increasing function because we are the only liberal and Christian centre. According to the consensus, we were punished with the effects of a prosecution against me. “I think the Italians understand that and will come back to trust us widely.”
