Berlusconi thanks you. Tajani «deus ex machina» of the event – Corriere.it

If it wasn’t a coronation we almost missed it. The most evident tribute, in the moment of his long-awaited return on video after a month in the hospital, Silvio Berlusconi reserved it for you. Martha, or rather my Martha who kept watch. A certain fact, the figure of Marta Fascina – the leader’s companion, a permanent presence during the 32 days of hospitalization at San Raffaele – on the day after the convention is much more than that of a faithful partner.

Proof of this is not only the words of Berlusconi himself who reconstructs the dialogue between the two on a restless night in the hospital: I asked her why you were, she said: “We are here because you worked so hard to save our democracy and our freedom”. There is the entire audience of the East end studios in via Mecenate in Milan that catches, in that message, a le and begins to acclaim Marta the leader as stated on a banner of the young people of Forza Italia.

And it doesn’t matter if in the blue-tinted studios Fascina isn’t physically there, immovable from her place in the hospital alongside Berlusconi from day one, the star for all the militants anyway. If the revolutions wanted months ago by Berlusconi in the command line in Parliament and in the organization chart of the party had left little doubt about her role, the convention clarified how Marta Fascina is the new strong woman of Forza Italia.

As for the blue coordinator, the foreign minister Antonio Tajani, enjoys the success of the appointment, thanks to the twist of Berlusconi’s 21-minute video who gave the blue people the sense of their presence. I was moved to say at the end of the two days that for Forza Italia it must mean a relaunch.
