Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg’s daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union.
Even from beyond the grave, Silvio Berlusconi is exerting a pull over Italian politics. The late leader’s heirs are plotting to restore his Forza Italia party to its former glory after being relegated to the role of junior partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s coalition. The billionaire’s children, Marina and Pier Silvio Berlusconi, have enlisted the help of former European Parliament President Antonio Tajani, who serves as Meloni’s deputy and foreign minister. The aim is to rejuvenate the aging party ranks and ultimately to challenge Meloni’s socially conservative leadership. With the premier recently dealing with domestic political clashes and skirmishes with Brussels over Rome’s budget plans, there’s a sense that the Berlusconi clan is already mobilizing behind the scenes.
