“ The center-right will win because Forza Italia is part of it . Without us there would be no center-right, there would be a democratic right, as there is in other countries, which would collect an important number of votes, but insufficient to govern ".
Word of Silvio Berlusconi , who in an interview with Corriere della Sera claims the central role of Forza Italia in the moderate alliance and takes stock of the electoral campaign.
As for the points of the center-right program branded FI, the former premier emphasizes first of all the Flat Tax at 23%, which he defines "the Copernican revolution not only of the tax authorities, but of the relationship between state and citizen".
As for an intervention for expensive energy , "I believe - explains Berlusconi - that I was the first to ask for it. Obviously it would be preferable to do it without further budget deviations, if the available resources allow it".
Then the war in Ukraine: “I did what I could - says the Knight -, in full agreement with our allies, to bring Russia back to a positive relationship with the West. It would have been in everyone's interest. In Pratica di Mare, in 2002, when I got the signing of the NATO-Russia agreement from Bush and Putin, I thought the road had been drawn. Unfortunately it did not happen ".
Finally, the theme of leadership: “Am I jealous of Giorgia Meloni? Do you really believe - Berlusconi replies to a precise question - that a person with my professional and political biography could feel jealous of someone ? ".
