Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is famous for his ambitious promises, but he is unlikely to be called to task if he breaks his latest pledge: not to have sex before the April 9 general election.
At a party rally in Sardinia yesterday, the media tycoon received the blessing of television preacher Massimiliano Pusceddu, who thanked him for opposing gay marriage and defending family values.
“Thank you dear Father Massimiliano, I’ll try not to let you down and I promise you two and a half months of complete sexual abstinence until April 9,” Mr Berlusconi replied.
The twice-married Mr Berlusconi, 69, prides himself on his physical fitness and after a facelift and a hair transplant he looks younger now than he did when he swept to power in 2001.
He has often been criticised by commentators and feminist groups for his use of sexual innuendo and sexist jokes.
In June he sparked a diplomatic incident with Finland when he said he had used “playboy tactics” to persuade its woman president to give up a bid to site the European Union’s food agency in Helsinki rather than the Italian city of Parma.
