by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 28 September 2019 From the stage of the Manzoni Theater in Milan Silvio Berlusconi claims the centrality of Forza Italia in the center: "League and fascists we have made them enter the government, we have legitimized them, we have constitutionalized them", adding: " The Center-Right must exist and must be united to win the elections, but Forza Italia remains distinct from the League and the others ".

On the occasion of a conference of Forza Italia seniores on pensions, the Knight states: "We are the backbone, the heart and the brain of the Center. Without us, the coalition would be extreme right, unable, perhaps, to reach the majority, certainly incapable of governing ", warning:" We have overcome all the provocations, the almost daily obnoxious declarations of some for the good of the country, we are distinct from them: we are not populists, sovereigns and arrogant. We have studied and worked, we are the continuators and the guarantors of the Western liberal tradition. We are the only ones who have carved the principles of the West in their minds and hearts ".

On the government led by M5S and Pd, Berlusconi does not use half-words: "They said they lowered taxes, but since they have been to the Government we have only heard them speak of more taxes". "Taxes on snacks, on drinks, on air flights", said the blue leader. "This is the most left-wing government in history. It is the government of the four lefts because Renzi has also been added (M5S, Pd, Liberi and Uguali plus Renzi, ed.). The former prime minister is not afraid of transmigration from FI :" Non there is fear - the audience reassured - that ours go to Renzi. We know him: he has always been left-wing, even if he is pleasant and pleasant, but he has the great guilt of having been the one who pushed for a reception between the Lega and 5 Stelle ".

As for the possible policies of the Giallorossi Executive to discourage the use of cash , Berlusconi expressed himself in a very contrary way: "But how do you think it when more than eighty per center pays the transaction in cash and how do you think? that we old people understand how to use an ATM card, we want to be free to pay as we want ".

From the stage of the Manzoni Theater, Silvio Berlusconi also makes a reference to the news of his registration in the register of suspects in the investigation of the Mafia massacres : "We are fighting to have a friendly state while the left struggles to have a master and hostile state to the citizens, with fiscal, judicial and bureaucratic oppression I regret that the Italians have voted so badly the last few times, to me they have made all the colors, also the day before yesterday, but we don't talk about it and we leave this thing aside because they are still afraid of me ".

There was also a 5-Star poke: "Most of them in the past legislature had not made a tax return. It means they didn't do anything good for themselves or their family."

Berlusconi, also referring to the student demonstrations of the past few hours to stop climate change , said: "We are the labor party and they are the strike party. Now their children have been on strike, but their children too. , and I speak of the 5 Stars, they do not go to school.

Speaking of foreign policy, Berlusconi considers Vladimir Putin the only world leader: "I don't see world leaders around. There are only 2 or 3 that I would assume as managers in my companies. There is only one leader, and his name is Vladimir Putin: I assure you that it is not as the media describes it ".
