Centre-right Forza Italia (FI)
leader Silvio Berlusconi on Thursday said he had never
"insulted" the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) and had
"only made a quip about none of them filing incomes returns".
He said he thought this was "risible compared to what they
said about me, that I am the absolute evil".
Berlusconi was answering a question about centre-right leader
Matteo Salvini, of the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League, who
guaranteed there would be no more inuslts against the M5S from
the centre right.
Former premier and media magnate Berlusconi recently said the
M5S would only be up to "cleaning the bogs at Mediaset", his
media empire.
On Wednesday he compared them to Hitler.
