Italian Prime Minister Silvio silvio berlusconi will be among the best if he is judged by two criteria: "controversy" and "ostentation". His body is always full of contradictions, which is unexpected and seems reasonable. His influence touched every aspect of Italian life. For many Italians, Berlusconi, as a successful business tycoon, proved his ability and became his reason for running the country. "Half of Italy is working for Berlusconi, while the other half is eager to get him," the newspaper El Pais quoted Italian radio reporter Santa Massi as saying.
Berlusconi, 1936, was born in a middle-class family in Milan on September 29th. His father Luigi is a bank clerk. The child has shown amazing business acumen since he was a child. When he was a student, Berlusconi earned pocket money by helping backward students with their lessons, and it was very principled that if his classmates failed in the exam, they would take nothing. When he grew up, he began to use his charm to sell anything he wanted, from vacuum cleaners to newspapers. He also works as a singer in nightclubs and cruise ships.
Earning pocket money is just a little warm-up. 1960 After graduating from Milan University, Berlusconi started his own business. He borrowed a sum of money from the bank where his father worked, founded his first company, Milan United Site Company, and began to engage in the construction industry, and won the title of "Labor Knight" in Italy and China, so he was nicknamed "Knight". But Berlusconi is not an easy "knight". He not only wants to provide people with shelter from the wind and rain, but also wants people to get another satisfaction in various information and entertainment programs. 10 years later, he established a local cable TV station and founded the first national private TV station "Channel 5" in Italy in the 1980s. Later, he acquired two TV stations, became the "king of TV" with three TV stations, and founded the family business Fenningxi Group. In the 1970s, he controlled today's newspapers. In the 1980s, he bought Smile and TV Music, Italy's largest magazine, and gradually became an Italian media giant.
1933, Berlusconi established his own political party, the Italian Power Party, as the party chairman. 1994 became prime minister and formed a coalition government with the participation of the right-wing National Alliance and the Northern Alliance. However, there was fierce competition among the three leaders at that time, and the Milan court sued Berlusconi for tax fraud, which eventually led to the collapse of the government that had just been formed for seven months.
But Berlusconi refused to be overthrown and reorganized his party in the following years. 200 1, Berlusconi made a comeback. With its intricate contacts and extremely strong economic strength, he finally won the general election and became the 59th Italian Prime Minister after the war.
At this time, the Italian leader still looks younger than his actual age, partly because he had a hair transplant and eye plastic surgery. Many observers say that he looks stronger than ever.
The election campaign in 2008 showed that age was not a problem for Benitez.
14 In April, this extraordinary billionaire who dominated most Italian public life was re-elected and began his third term as prime minister since 1994.
Why did the public abandon the calm and responsible former Prime Minister Prodi and choose Berlusconi? Some people say that when Italians vote, there are all kinds of topics about Berlusconi: the clown image of "outspoken" on important occasions, the corruption scandal, the stable relationship with his wife and political partners, and even his increasingly dark hair remind people of him when they put pen to paper.
Others believe that his performances in the earthquake in abruzzo, the central region in April, enhanced his reputation and fully demonstrated his energy. For example, actively carry out rescue at the first time, cancel the original plan, and immediately go to the disaster area for inspection. Of course, during the campaign, he promised to reduce taxes, cut government spending and improve national infrastructure, which also gave him a lot of points.
65438+On February 28th, 2004, AC Milan official website officially announced that silvio berlusconi, the current president of the club, would step down as the president, because he had the dual role of Italian Prime Minister, which conflicted with a law recently promulgated by the Italian government to protect public interests. "Thank you, Chairman!" This is AC Milan. official website thanked Berlusconi for his contribution to AC Milan.
Berlusconi 1986 took over AC Milan Club and led the club team to win many competitions in Italy and Europe. Benitez is in a high position and has always been famous for his love of "interfering" with the work of the manager. When Berlusconi took over AC Milan, which was at a low ebb, I'm afraid not many people would have predicted that this was his most successful business, and no one would have thought that this investment behavior, which originally belonged to the football field, became a stepping stone for Berlusconi to set foot on the political arena. With the support of abundant funds, AC Milan waved the checkbook to every favorite star, and the participation of these high-level players really made AC Milan the most powerful team in Europe during this period. For Italy, whose economy has been at a low ebb, AC Milan has become the only capital that Italy can show off to its European neighbors, and Berlusconi's image in the eyes of the people has been greatly improved. In a sense, Berlusconi's behavior of pleasing Italy through the football club is exactly the same as Caesar's idea of providing free performances for Roman citizens with huge sums of money in history, and finally achieved Caesar's political success.
Berlusconi's married life has never left people's sight. 1965 married his first wife, Dalloglio, and had two children. From 65438 to 0980, Berlusconi fell in love with actor Veronica Lario and gave birth to three children. He divorced Dalloglio on 1985 and married Veronica on 1990. His wedding became a world-famous event.
Although Berlusconi has always boasted that he attaches importance to his family and tried to "combine the role of Latin lover and family man", his private life has been constantly rumored.
In May 2009, Veronica, a low-key wife who has always been considered to have a good relationship with her husband, announced on the front page of the newspaper that she wanted to divorce because Berlusconi was having an affair with a young woman. She asked Berlusconi to apologize publicly for her flirting remarks.
After Berlusconi entered politics, Veronica always chose to be a silent partner behind her back. However, Veronica, who is far away from politics, has this very distinct political view. She even publicly supported the left-wing camp that was in tit-for-tat with Zhang, and once voted for the opposition party. In Berlusconi's will written by his lawyer, he left his wife almost no legacy. It is said that if Veronica and Berlusconi finally divorce, Veronica will probably get the property of Berlusconi13, and the total amount is expected to reach $5 billion.
However, his wife's complaints did not scare Berlusconi, and the recent "pornographic photo door" was even more surprising.
On June 5, a Spanish newspaper published a nude photo of him holding a nude party in his villa. The photo showed that many men and women held a nude party in Berlusconi's villa in Sardinia, which made him fall into the scandal of "pornographic photos" again. At this point, the 72-year-old Berlusconi is once again in the "storm center" of the global media because of the "porn door".
If Italians have ever indulged in the funny side of their leaders, how will things develop this time?
The official newspaper of the Italian Catholic Church also condemned Berlusconi on the topic of "fatal embrace in politics and entertainment" and expressed deep concern about the Prime Minister's remarks and actions. The newspaper called on the billionaire to control himself and not to be "fascinated by the sight of a beautiful young actress". The draft for approval said: "We are well aware that the political achievements of political and legal leaders should be the main criterion to measure whether they are qualified or not, but the style and values of leaders should not and cannot be ignored. Therefore, we hope that Prime Minister Berlusconi can be more calm, calm and low-key, and hope that he can become a mirror reflecting the soul of the country. "
However, no one seems to oppose Berlusconi's administration. In the just-concluded European Parliament election, the center-right alliance led by Berlusconi announced a total victory. It seems that the scandal of "Yanzhaomen" has not affected the political future of Lao Bei.
At the voting site in Rome, Italy, Effie, Spain, interviewed some Italian voters who came to vote, and most of them showed a calm attitude towards "Yanzhaomen". Alessandro Cerrutti, 58, compared Prime Minister Berlusconi with former US President Bill Clinton: "It's like a sex scandal between Clinton and White House intern Lewinsky, not because of the sex scandal itself, but because Clinton lied in public. In Italy, we don't mind these things at all because we are used to it. " Fini Calzi, a 43-year-old journalist, said he was "not very interested" and added: "This is their private affair, not the nationals." Grasso, a 48-year-old lawyer, said: "This is Berlusconi's private life, and I don't know why it should be linked to the election. This can only say that the opposition party has no political or even economic skills. "
The Vatican declined to comment on this matter, but called on adults to act like adults and said that everyone should act according to their own conscience.
