Berlusconi back in EU elections game after surgery
By EUobserver
Former Italian prime minister and convicted fraudster, Silvio Berlusconi (82), is set to continue his campaign for a seat in the European Parliament via the media - but not attending any election rallies - following abdominal surgery in a Milan hospital, his party said on Tuesday. Berlusconi is running for the conservative Forza Italia party and wants to see the European Union become a military world power.
