Flagging Berlusconi ducks out of election race for a holiday
By Hilary Clarke in Rome
An exhausted Silvio Berlusconi has been ordered by his doctors to take an  
immediate three-day break, after signs that the stress of Italy's general  
election campaign is affecting his health.
The Italian prime minister, who is trailing in the polls with three weeks  
left before voting on April 9, complained of severe back problems and has  
been diagnosed with sciatica.
 
A doctor attended Mr Berlusconi, 69, immediately after his television  
debate on Tuesday with his opponent, Romano Prodi, 66, when he complained  
of feeling unwell. Commentators observed that Mr Berlusconi, who gave what  
was widely judged to be a lacklustre performance, appeared tired, and four  
snap polls showed that most viewers believed Mr Prodi had performed better.
On Friday, the prime minister was taken to the headquarters of his Milan  
football team where he was treated by medical staff and advised to take a  
complete rest straight away.
Signs of exhaustion will dent the image of the perma-tanned Mr Berlusconi,  
who takes such pride in his appearance. After last week's debate, he  
surprised supporters by declaring that he would prepare for the second  
televised head-to-head with Mr Prodi - scheduled for April 3, just six  
days before voting - by taking a seaside holiday.
"Three days before [the debate] I will go on holiday to Bermuda or  
Sardinia," the multi-billionaire leader of Forza Italia was reported as  
saying.
The Corriere della Sera newspaper, which is backing his opponent, observed  
of his decision to take a break as the campaign reaches its climax: "He is  
so tired he has decided to change his training regime for the decisive  
confrontation." Yesterday, however, he defied medical advice to appear at  
a meeting with businessmen in Vicenza, northern Italy. Last night he was  
believed to be resting again at his villa outside Milan.
Not for the first time, Mr Berlusconi turned to football for solace and  
last week attended a party to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his  
purchase of Milan. His main allies in his governing coalition - Gianfranco  
Fini, the leader of the far-Right Alleanza Nazionale Party, and Pier  
Ferdinando Casini, the Christian Democrat leader of the Italian parliament  
- were not invited.
Both men had strongly criticised Mr Berlusconi's performance. Mr  
Berlusconi was "wrong for giving the impression that everything was well,  
when lots of undecided voters know there are many problems in our  
society", Mr Fini said.
As his erstwhile allies began to sense approaching defeat for Mr  
Berlusconi, some questioned his judgment in changing the electoral system  
last year, reverting to proportional representation after a decade-long  
experiment in which 75 per cent of seats were allocated on the  
first-past-the-post system.
Mr Berlusconi had flourished under first-past-the-post, which appeared to  
bring a halt to a stream of unstable governments, but judged that shifting  
support meant that the parties of the Right would do better under the  
previous system.
Instead, Mr Fini and Mr Casini have seized the opportunity to fight harder  
for centre-Right voters, drawing many away from Forza Italia, while the  
Left has fragmented less than Mr Berlusconi had hoped.
Mr Prodi, who has no party, is able to concentrate his energy on keeping  
his Communist-to-Catholic coalition in line.
