Berlusconi emerges from hospital after assault
The Irish Independent reports that Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi has come out of the hospital following the attack on him by a would-be mental case a few days ago:
Mr Berlusconi suffered facial wounds, a broken nose and two broken teeth in the attack on Sunday, when Massimo Tartaglia (42) an electronics engineer with a history of mental illness, hurled a souvenir replica of Milan Cathedral at him. The assailant later apologised but told police that the prime minister was "ruining Italy".Well if he smart and knows how to play his cards, he can turn this into a serious debate on whether leftists are resorting to violence to solve their so-called problems. In fact, that's what's needed now, some kind of debate with leftists, and perhaps to interview some left-wing antagonists themselves, to see if they're willing to debate why they would use violence to try and get their way.
Mr Berlusconi said: "If, after what happened, there is a better awareness of the need for calmer and more honest language in Italian politics, this pain will not have been in vain."
