Amid the snowballing call-girl scandal involving Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the beleaguered billionaire and politician called on his detractors to understand that he’s only human, the ANSA news agency reported.


“I’m not a saint,” Berlusconi said yesterday at the inauguration of a highway construction project in northern Brescia.


“You understand that, and let’s hope the people at La Repubblica understand that,” he added, referring to the left-leaning daily that has carried a stream of reports on the prime minister’s alleged peccadilloes since late April.
The series began with the alleged relationship between the 72-year-old Berlusconi and an 18-year-old aspiring model, sparking divorce proceedings from his second wife.


The scandal moved on to compromising photos taken at Berlusconi’s luxury villa in Sardinia, published by the Spanish daily El Pais, before dwelling on the prime minister’s alleged night with call girl Patrizia D’Addario, 42.
On Monday and Tuesday, the weekly L’Espresso – which owns La Repubblica – posted audio clips on its website seemingly proving the liaison. La Repubblica followed up Wednesday with audio excerpts of the pair’s supposed breakfast the next morning.


Last month, Berlusconi said he would not change because Italians wanted him as he was.
“I am like that, and I will not change. People want me the way I am,” he told a news conference. “They want me because I am good, generous, sincere, loyal and I carry out my promises.”


The media tycoon also pointed to a 61 percent approval rating, but the latest opinion survey published by La Repubblica put it at 49 percent, the first time the figure has dipped below 50 percent since Berlusconi’s election in April 2008.


Berlusconi has denied ever having paid for sex, saying: “I have never seen the satisfaction that there could be in it without the pleasure of conquest.”

Yeah, you are a Man, so you don't have to be a saint; but you choose to be a Man leading your country and people, you need a sense of statesmanship and, you need to learn what you do should't frustrate those who voted for you.

I think that italians have found their ideal representative: he's gross, uneducated, ninny he doesn't know how to conduct himself with world's greatest leaders : the evidence was his grotesque attitude by Queen Elizabeth at G20.

From my own experience italians people are like him and even worst especially I can't stand their anti chinese attitude.

Western countries love to define themselves "democracy" in opposition, in their view to China, but in the reality the so called human rights are not guaranteed in the West, the government are manipulated by masonic lodges that act with the complicity of the state originating corruption and abuse on people.
