    Edit: added few links for reference

  8. Right wing propaganda bullshit.
    Silvio Berlusconi is since years under constant trial for fraud, working with mafia, corruption…
    Yet him and his servants (Lega, Fratelli di Italia, Forza Italia) have the balls to push his run for Minister.

  9. He ended the cold war and is the most appreciated and competent leader in international politics, he really seems the perfect president! ^(/s)

    By the way, it’s always nice to see

    >The last democratically elected Prime Minister

    even if we don’t elect the government, and it’s thanks to him, his narrative and him having messed with the electoral system if many people actually believe this thing.

  13. This is gold, but not on the same level as the fanzine (“Silvio Berlusconi, una storia italiana”) he sent out to all the voters for the 2001 election campaign.

  14. This guy is honestly a legend. Like yea he’s a price of shit but the life this guy lived, holy shit. Him becoming president at 84 would genuinely be the perfect way for his life story to end. It would also be fucking legendary for his portrait to be hanging in every court and justice center. Imagine Berlusconi on trial while his portrait hangs in the court room behind the judge trying to prosecute him. It would be too perfect. I wish him well.
