Berlusconi plans to become PM again
Silvio Berlusconi plans to contest next year's elections in Italy and attempt to become prime minister for a fourth time, according to a close aide, the Telegraph reports.
One of Mr. Berlusconi's closest confidantes and most loyal supporters said he thought it was very likely that the three-times prime minister would contest the next election.
"There's a big groundswell of support behind him becoming a candidate," said Angelino Alfano, whom Mr Berlusconi anointed as his successor before having to step down late last year.
