Paestum. Forza Italia celebrated Silvio Berlusconi's 87th birthday with an event in Paestum, in the province of Salerno. The party appeared united and determined to relaunch itself, with a message of continuity with the past and openness to the future.
Party president Antonio Tajani opened the event with a speech emphasizing Berlusconi's importance to Italy's history. "We're not nostalgic; Berlusconi is the future. Let's move forward with his ideas," Tajani said. "We still have many battles to fight. We're not disappearing; we've been told that since '94... you'll see in the European elections. And we want to stay in government for another four years."
Berlusconi's children sent a letter to the party, expressing their support and sympathy. "Freedom was his passion, and it is up to you to keep it alive with the same consistency, intellectual honesty, and spirit of service to Italy that he had," the five brothers wrote.
The event also provided an opportunity to discuss politics. Leonardo's president, Stefano Pontecorvo, emphasized the importance of "investing in safety," while Enel CEO Flavio Cattaneo discussed the possibility of a return to nuclear power.
