Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will remain in hospital at least until Wednesday, as doctors say his condition is worse than they thought, after being attacked at a political rally in Milan.
Italian Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was attacked following a political rally in Milan on Sunday. 73-year-old Berlusconi was signing autographs when he was assaulted on Sunday.
He was hit in the face from the crowd by a small but blunt model of the Milan Cathedral. The attacker, Massimo Tartaglia, was arrested at the scene. He is a 42-year-old Milanese who has been treated by a psychiatrist for 10 years. He has been charged with aggravated assault.
Berlusconi suffered blood-loss, a broken nose, two broken teeth and a cut lip. He was immediately taken to Milan's San Rafaelle hospital.
Massimo Tartaglia has apologized for what he described as his "cowardly and inconsiderate act."

Berlusconi hasn't got people's support. His polls are completely false.
Lunatics don’t resort to politically motivated crimes for the simple rationale because they are lunatics and they have a limit of political comprehension. So that’s ruled out. An angry guy from just around the corner acting on his own! Well, the consequences are extremely high as of what might happen to him afterwards as the whole nation will turn against him and his family no matter whether he is in prison or elsewhere. Bur recruited agent with a powerful foreign backing whom will be released for treatment on humanitarian grounds is most probable development. South Stream Gas Pipeline will give Italy total independence from US because it is shared project between Italy and Russia and it will strengthen their economy for a long time to come with hundreds of thousands directly created new jobs and hundreds of thousands indirectly created new jobs. This is a prospect worth disrupting for outside forces. On the other hand, Nabucco pipeline will further enslave Italy and EU because it is US owned and operated project designed to impose an upper hand on the country. Energy dependant country is politically dependant as well.











The attacker, 42-year-old Massimo Tartaglia, is currently in a psychiatric ward in the San Vittore prison. He has sent the prime minister a letter apologizing for his "cowardly" attack. My prediction is comming through that recruited agent with a powerful foreign backing whom will be released for treatment on humanitarian grounds is most probable development.
