Berlusconi really doesn’t mess around does he. Unsurprisingly, he’s not all that popular around much of Europe and so didn’t get quite the reception he would have wanted at the European Parliament. But causing a major diplomatic incident on day two of his presidency was certainly going it some.
I think we’ve been fairly quiet in this country about the man until now, but he effectively silences his media by owning it. He has enormous conflicts of interest, that would see any other Western leading either ousted from office, or having to forgo in the first place.
The man is dangerous.
