Berlusconi Say Have Many Activities in Foreign Politics
Former Italian leader, Silvio Berlusconi, gave a strong hint on Thursday that he probably will not run in next year's elections, as he told a Belgian television station that he "has a lot of work to be done" outside of politics.
Amid speculation that the former prime minister three times in question may be advanced in elections expected to be held in February, Berlusconi told VRT television: "I've had a lot of activities to do outside the world of politics."
Berlusconi called his extended family, ownership of a successful football club, and activities organized a foundation to build a hospital, as an example of the activities that take up his time.
He said that he would run as a candidate "only if necessary."
However, if the current prime minister, Mario Monti, is willing, "if he can unite all Italians are moderate, I would love to not be a candidate in my old age," said the 76-year-old man.
"I support Monti for 13 years. We have selected all the laws, which he proposed in parliament, "added Berlusconi, speaking in French.
However, he asserts that 85 percent of Italian voters oppose a number of measures taken by the current government.
