Silvio Berlusconi died on Monday June 12. If the results of his action are mixed and he has faced many scandals, he nevertheless remains a figure loved by Italians, as explained by journalist Alban Mikoczy, present on the set of 8 Hours, Tuesday.
Silvio Berlusconi, former President of the Italian Council, died on Monday June 12. His funeral will be celebrated on Wednesday in Italy. The journalist Alban Mikoczy, present on the set of 8 Hours, Tuesday, returns first of all to the balance sheet of Silvio Berlusconi. “The attachment of the Italians has little to do with an impartial assessment of its action, because Berlusconism is a right-wing liberalism that would have missed almost everything. He dug abyssal deficits without succeeding in the development of the south of the country, and leaving public services in a terrible state”recalls the journalist, also evoking the many scandals that have marred his career.
A man “from nothing”
“But the Italians loved Silvio Berlusconi, because he knew, perhaps better than anyone, how to understand them, listen to them, give them the impression that they were important. He started from scratch. He created an audiovisual group which, even today, brings together several thousand employees.And then, he won trophies in sport, notably with AC Milan.He made the country proud. He is, in a way, a kind of Bernard Tapie who would have succeeded in all of his action”continues Alban Mikoczy.
