Berlusconi at odds with Francesca Pascale?



Tuesday, 9 April, 2013. Meeting up with political opponents Enrico Letta and Pier Luigi Bersani (in order to find a common path for the election of the new head of state of Italy) Silvio Berlusconi finds time to complain about his girlfriend Francesca Pascale's attitudes.

It might be quite unusual for Silvio Berlusconi to meet up with adversaries (especially when they are old wily communists, like Pier Luigi Bersani), but for sure it is unprecedented for the former prime minister of Italy to take it out on his beloved Neapolitan girlfriend (their engagement was made public last December) with them.

Yet that's exactly what happened, according to the right-wing newspaper Libero, as the presidente of the People of Liberty party (PdL) decided to have a chat with two of the Democratic Party's (PD) leaders, about how to get to vote for successor to the president of Italy Giorgio Napolitano without any squabble (if possible).

Actually Silvio first showed a savage attitude to the discussion, at first. After Italian anti-Mafia magistrate Pietro Grasso and former spokesperson for UNHCR Laura Boldrini became respectively the chair of the Senate of Italy and the speaker of the House of Representatives, the media tycoon said “if the left will occupy also the Quirinale [hill where the President of Italy's residence lies] we are going to battle”. 

It looks like that after declaring war to the democratic-communists Silvio found time to declare that sweetheart Francesca Pascale is very jealous (possibly influenced by various sex scandals and Silvio's kept bunga-bunga army, that is a bunch of bunga-bunga girls ready for action?) and never lose sight of him. “She also moved in her mother, can you believe it?” burst out Berlusconi, adding that he cannot stand it any more to “have a mother-in-law always under my feet, I have changed my life, I'm sick of this boarding schoolgirl life, help me” (this is going to become one of Berlusconi's famous quotes....). [Update as per June 2013: Francesca Pascale's mother - Giuseppina - seems to have died of cancer in 2007 - according to Neaples' La Repubblica, in that case the Huffington Post Italia might be wrong. Who can you really trust nowadays?]

It seems that the former premier of Italy is longing to “leave his worries” behind, as a controversial advertising of Ford Figo suggested (Francesca Pascale was one of the worries, Karima “Ruby the Heartbreaker” El Mahroug and Nicole Minetti were the others), speculating that AC Milan's owner might be struggling managing all those women.

It's still unclear how the Democratic Party – or his members – could help Silvio Berlusconi out of his troubles, as it is unclear how they could help Italy out of the impasse the country is stuck in since general elections were held in the end of February and three parties gained virtually the same number of votes.
