At the start of the East end studios in Milan the convention 'La Forza dell'Italia' where between today and tomorrow "we expect 4-5,000 people", said the national coordinator of the party, Antonio Tajani. The wait is all for tomorrow, when at 12.30 the leader of FI, Silvio Berlusconi, still hospitalized at the San Raffaele hospital, will close the work with an intervention that will probably be on video. The event "serves to demonstrate many things: that Berlusconi is there as a protagonist of politics. that we are part of the EPP and we are a government force that counts within the government, that has its own ideas and that looks to the future," Tajani said. Asked if Forza Italia is respected, Tajani replied: "Respect is always fundamental and honor always counts." To welcome guests in the main hall a giant screen on which videos and archive photos scroll with the symbols of the party, the blue anthems and tricolor beams of lights on the sides.
