‘Berlusconi should do community service in Auschwitz’

(see related) (ANSA) – Rome, November 6 – Silvio Berlusconi should perform community service at Auschwitz, a former Senator of the center-left Democratic Party said Wednesday after remarks surfaced from the ex-premier that his children felt like the Jews in Hitler’s Germany for the alleged judicial persecution their father was under. “Let’s send him to Auschwitz, where he can witness for a few months what kind of persecution the Nazis inflicted on the Jews,” said Roberto Della Seta, a member of the Green Italia movement. Berlusconi, 77, is set to serve one year of community service for a four-year tax-fraud sentence – cut by an amnesty – which also carries a ban from office. On November 27, party whips will vote on the floor of the Senate on whether to strip him of his parliamentary seat. “His words confirm his utter unworthiness of serving in any public role,” added Della Seta. “Let’s hope that this miserable anomaly is rectified on November 27”.
