Silvio Berlusconi, who was the Prime Minister of Italy from 1994 to 2011, died on Monday. He had blood cancer for 9 years. Silvio’s Forza party is also an ally of the current government in Italy.
Berlusconi is also called a media tycoon in Italy. In 2017, he claimed that he would once again become the prime minister. Although at that time he was accused of being involved in many sex scandals and some witnesses also came forward.
Berlusconi was prime minister three times. When he was prime minister from 2001 to 2006, he made Italy’s financial sector one of the most powerful in Europe. In 2008, he became prime minister for the third time, but Italy, which used to be one of Europe’s strongest economies, suddenly plunged into an economic crisis. Berlusconi himself had several sex scandals on his account. Evidence of tax fraud was also found. He resigned under political pressure.
The fans of this former Italy continued to call him the kingmaker. This was because it was difficult to form a government without their support. He himself remained an MP till the last time. He had major surgery in 2016. He also recovered, but in September 2020 he got Kovid and after that, his health did not get better.
