“The success of movements with anti-democratic ideas in the European elections cannot fail to cause alarm,” the 57-year-old chair of Berlusconi family holding company Fininvest and publishing group Mondadori said.
Her remarks came in an interview inside Wednesday’s Corriere della Sera newspaper.
“Concerns about the consequences of the upcoming vote in the United States are growing,” she continued.
“We need a stronger and more cohesive Europe, capable of making people perceive all the benefits of true unity.”
When asked about the political situation in Italy, she said that the government “has always fully respected the rules of democracy”.
“And in foreign policy it has held the line on pro-European and pro-Atlantic Alliance positions.”
She added, however, that there were other issues she was in less agreement about.
“On civil rights, for example, on abortion, end-of-life or LGBT rights, I feel more in tune with the common-sense left,” said the oldest child of late ex-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
