“Urbano Cairo Plans to Take Over Mediaset Shares Amidst Berlusconi’s Deteriorating Health”

The bomb dropped it Dagospy: “Urbano Cairo wants to take over Mediaset”. The site of Roberto D’Agostino reports that the deteriorating health of Silvio Berlusconi would have caused a series of internal and external moves that are ready to create a real earthquake on the immediate future of Mediaset. An Italian consortium would be taking shape ready to take over the colossus of Cologno Monza, strengthened by the approval of Eleonora, Barbara and Luigi Berlusconi. The only one against it is Pier Silvio, current CEO. Neutral Marina Berlusconieven if Dagospia writes: “Hesitate”.

The indiscretion

As reported by Dagospia, Urbano Cairo would have set up a consortium together with a series of investors, including a banking group that could be that of Intesa. Urbano Cairo’s purchase of Mediaset would obviously produce a series of ripple effects. The first of all: the shift of Mediaset’s editorial line towards positions more to the left. Furthermore, by taking over Mediaset there would be the La7 problem for Urbano Cairo.

Rete 4 towards the sale

The president has no intention of handing over the broadcaster to key 7 on the remote control, so he would get rid of Rete4 which, between “Zona Bianca”, “Fuori dal coro” and “Quarta Repubblica” has a clear traction on the right. What appears to be fictional television politics may soon come to fruition. According to rumors, the Italian consortium led by Urbano Cairo was inspired by Walter Veltroni. The goal, writes Dagospia, is clear: “Collecting Silvio Berlusconi’s tele-political legacy”. It is an objectively intriguing scenario. At the window is Vivendi, the French company that holds 23.2% of the company shares (18.68% through Simon Fiduciaria Spa). After this indiscretion, what will be the reaction of the French group?
