Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi revived Forza Italia, his first political party, in a televised plea for help against the criminal trials and adversaries that threaten to end his career.
“They think they have put me out of politics with a monstrous, politicized sentence,” Berlusconi, 76, said in the 18-minute address aired today on Italian television stations including SkyTG24. “I’m telling all decent Italians with common sense to react, protest, make yourselves heard. You have the obligation to do something strong and big to get out of the situation they put us in.”
