Berlusconi lies in the hospital

Local media report that the centre-right leader has landed at San Rafaele Hospital, where his personal physician works. His office has announced that he has gone to that facility for several days to undergo medical examinations.

Berlusconi was contracted to coronary in the spring of 2020, and he was in hospital several times last spring to handle virus - related complications.

After recovering from COVID-19, Berlusconi, 85, said the disease was subtle and was the most dangerous challenge he had ever faced.

Besides being in a vulnerable age group, Berlusconi has a heart disease that led him to set up a cardiac stimulant a few years ago.

We remember that Berlusconi on Saturday was reluctant to withdraw his candidacy in the election race for Italy's new president. For the past seven years, this largely ceremonial function has been carried out by Sergio Matarella, and analysts claim that current Prime Minister Mario Draghi has the best chance of succeeding him.

Italian lawmakers and regional representatives will begin voting Monday, and indirect elections could last until Thursday.
