The family of late three-time
ex-premier and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi, who died aged 86
on June 12, intends to continue supporting his centre-right
political party Forza Italia (FI), sources close to the family
told ANSA Thursday in relation to rumours about financial
credits due to the party.
The same sources clarified "that the credit towards FI has never
been in question.
"On the contrary, the family intends to continue supporting the
party, also by virtue of its affection for the political
creature to which Silvio Berlusconi dedicated the last 30 years
of his life".
Speaking on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the video address
in which the then 57-year-old magnate announced he was "taking
the field" in politics to ward off a post-Communist election win
and possible repercussions on his TV empire, the sources
specified that "This support, of course, must go hand in hand
with Forza Italia's commitment to continue along the path, which
has already begun, of strengthening its financial endowment."
