Berlusconi set to start community services with dementia and Alzheimer's disease patients

Wednesday, 30 April 2014. Berlusconi is set to start community services on 9 May, with Alzheimer's disease and dementia patients at Catholic-run Insitute.

As a social carer (doing that job is the way chosen to make him pay his debt with society) Mr Berlusconi is going to do real work, not just sit behind a desk, according Paolo Pigni, head of the Catholic-run Fondazione Sacra Famiglia (Sacred Heart Foundation), in Cesano Boscone, near Milan.

According to Mr Berlusconi community service is “ridiculous, not only for me but for the whole country

The news was disclosed during a press conference where it was also said that the former Italian prime minister will work in the part of the centre where people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease are being taken care of. 

Among things he can do and he cannot do during his serving, Silvio Berlusconi and his staff – “will not be able to work on electoral campaigns”, and he will walk in alone, leaving any escorts outside of the building (being those armed escorts for protection or any other kind of escorting services).

When a journalist asked whether the media tycoon will be allowed to tell the patients some of his famous jokes, and the answer was that if he wanted to lark around with dementia and Alzheimer's disease sufferers he might just try.

Italy's Berlusconi will find himself in “situations of suffering which can enrich him”, just like he “enriched himself” with tax fraud – gossip-mongers might add -, the very reason why he will be doing all this.

Previously the billionaire dubbed community service as “ridiculous, not only for me but for the whole country” (while demented people where not asked to comment about Berlusconi incoming visits), more or less what some Italian think about his personal life.

Let's give him some time and see what happens in a 10-days time.
