He wants to continue to play a role in the parliamentary elections, which must take place in spring 2023 at the latest. “Just as I felt obliged to get involved politically in 1994 to prevent the left from taking power in Italy, I also feel obliged now,” he said on Monday evening.
The media billionaire spoke in an interview on the news of his own television channel Canale5. It’s about “preventing governments with incompetent people and doing something really useful for the country,” said Berlusconi. “I hope I still have the strength and time to give Italy another push towards prosperity and greater freedom,” he added.
Berlusconi was Italian Prime Minister four times between 1994 and 2011. In 1994 he founded Forza Italia, which was Italy’s strongest single party for several years. According to polls, it is currently eight percent in favor of the voters. She is part of a centre-right alliance with the Lega led by ex-Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and the opposition Brothers of Italy (FdI/Fratelli d’Italia) party, which hopes to win next year’s parliamentary elections. Forza and Lega are currently involved in the concentration government under Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
