Carlo Taormina’s words have been prophetic. 7 months ago he predicted the evolution of the current political situation. In the interview by Alessandro Gilioli (not to be missed) he clearly tells what the aims of the Prime Minister are.
Reading now those same words, all of Taormina’s statements surely gain more credibility.
Back then somebody could have argued that those were the resentful words of a character that had been excluded from Berlusconi’s circle, but now it’s clear he was, to a very large extent, speaking the truth.
Extract from Carlo Taormina’s interview, released in January 2010
…But there are still three and a half years before the end of the Berlusconi’s term…
“I really don’t think so. I believe that, as soon as his personal issues will be settled, say in 2011, Berlusconi will hold an anticipated election”
And why?
“Because it’s in his interest as long as the opposition is this weak, almost non-existent. In this way he’ll win again and he can wait for Napolitano’s mandate to end in order to take his place”
Hold on: you mean that we’ll have Berlusconi until 2020?
“That’s his aim. In absence of a strong opposition he can easily do that. The only variable that might hamper his plan, more than the Democratic Party, it’s the centre, with the activity between Casini and Rutelli. But we’ll only see after the regional elections if this activity will work or not. “
