Italian former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (R) leaves after the People of Freedom (PDL) party’s national convention in Rome on November 16, 2013. Silvio Berlusconi hit out at members of his centre-right party who want to “murder” him politically as an internal split provoked the scandal-tainted ex-premier’s ire on November 16. Following late-night talks, Berlusconi’s former right-hand man Angelino Alfano announced he would not remain at the side of his onetime mentor and would form a separate parliamentary grouping instead.
