MILAN (Reuters) – Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi sent a video message to his Forza Italia party on Saturday in his first appearance since being hospitalised a month ago, saying he is ready to return to work.<\/p>\n

Wearing a blue shirt and suit and heavy make-up, Berlusconi, 86, appeared sitting at a desk with the Italian and European flags behind him next to a Forza Italia banner.<\/p>\n

“I never stopped, not even in the past few weeks. I worked on the party’s new structure and I’m ready to return to work with you and fight alongside you our fights for freedom,” he said.<\/p>\n

Berlusconi recorded the message from his hospital room after doctors and relatives prevented his discharge out of fear he would try to attend in person a two-day convention of his Forza Italia party in Milan, according to daily La Repubblica.<\/p>\n

The four-times prime minister was hospitalised on April 5 and spent nearly two weeks in intensive care, stirring speculation that his life might be in danger and drawing a stream of family and friends to his bedside.<\/p>\n

Treated for a lung infection linked to chronic leukaemia, Berlusconi came out of intensive care on April 16 and his condition has steadily improved, doctors’ statements say.<\/p>\n

“In the past few weeks I’ve felt the affection … of so many people, including my political opponents and I obviously thank them, but it’s your affection, it was your embrace that helped me overcome a really dangerous pneumonia,” he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking for around 20 minutes, Berlusconi recounted at length his decision to relinquish executive roles at his business empire 30 years ago to enter politics “to save Italy from communism.”<\/p>\n

“We’re the essential and loyal pillar of this majority, we’re the backbone of this government,” he said, referring to the right-wing administration of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
