Pier Silvio Berlusconi and the Future of Forza Italia

The week's most exciting political news has a killer last name, a killer story, and a still-uncertain future. The killer last name is Berlusconi, the killer story is that of the Cavaliere's second son, Pier Silvio, and the uncertain future concerns his semi-candidacy, launched on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday during the presentation of the Mediaset schedules , and the future of Forza Italia. The Berlusconi family and Forza Italia are tied not only by emotional ties but also by financial ones, and it's no secret that the Berlusconis are guaranteeing €99 million in debt to the party led by Antonio Tajani through sureties. Pier Silvio, however, used strong language on Wednesday, calling for a generational change in Forza Italia and not ruling out his own candidacy, and it's natural to ask: beyond the announcement, what more is there? The answer to the question is difficult, but we can try to be daring and put it this way: Pier Silvio Berlusconi wants to get involved in politics, he'd like to enter the political arena. For now, it's just an intention, but if Giorgia Meloni's star were to begin to shine less brightly than it does today, things could change and his crazy idea could become something akin to a running board. Wait and see . And who knows?
