Silvio Berlusconi: Italy's only option?
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has faced allegations of wild parties, illicit liaisons, and his wife is seeking a divorce for what she claims is an improper relationship with a young lingerie model.
None of these seem to have dented his popularity.
The 大象传媒's Dan Damon spoke to Lucio Malan, an Italian senator in Silvio Berlusconi's party, and Bill Emmott, a former editor of the Economist which famously had a cover story in 2001 entitled "Why Silvio Berlusconi is unfit to lead Italy".
Dan began by asking Bill Emmott what it said about Italy that Silvio Berlusconi is still popular.
