The conclusion of a new, modernized agreement would also send a clear signal to the world that both Mexico and the EU reject protectionism.

Berlusconi's legacy continues to have an impact

Silvio Berlusconi, the dazzling, controversial media entrepreneur, has significantly changed Italy's party landscape through his many years of power - including media power. With the restructuring of the Italian right, Berlusconi's policies contributed massively to the emergence of a bipolar party system.
