		</div><p>Former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi is being treated in intensive care because of a problem related to a previous infection but is alert and speaking, Italy’s foreign minister said.</p>
<p>The 86-year-old three-time premier is in the ICU at Milan’s San Raffaele hospital, the clinic where he routinely receives care, said Antonio Tajani, who is also a leader of Mr Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party.</p>
<p>Speaking in Brussels, Mr Tajani said Mr Berlusconi was admitted because of an “unresolved problem” related to a previous infection.</p>
<p>Mr Berlusconi has had a series of health problems in recent years, and recovered from Covid-19 in 2020.</p>
<p>He told reporters after being discharged from a 10-day hospital stay that the disease had been “insidious” and was the most dangerous challenge he had faced.</p>

<p>He has had a pacemaker for years, underwent heart surgery to replace an aortic valve in 2016 and has overcome prostate cancer.</p>
<p>Mr Berlusconi had been to San Raffaele, where his personal doctor works, for a regular check-up for several days last week.</p>
<p>In a March 31 tweet after he returned home, Mr Berlusconi thanked “all those who wanted to send a thought or sign of affection in these days”.</p>
<p>He said he was already back at work “ready and determined to commit myself as I’ve always done to the country I love”.</p>
<p>Mr Berlusconi, a media mogul-turned politician, made his latest political comeback in September general elections, winning a Senate seat a decade after being banned from holding public office over a tax fraud conviction.</p>
<p>That election brought a hard right-led government to power, with Mr Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party a junior member of a government headed by Premier Giorgia Meloni.</p>
<p>Mr Berlusconi remains at the helm of Forza Italia, the centre-right party he created when he jumped into politics in the early 1990s, though the day-to-day running of the party has been left to others.</p>
<p>Most recently he has made waves with a handful of comments about his old friend and Russian president Vladimir Putin, boasting that the two had exchanged birthday greetings and blaming Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky for the war.</p>
<p>Mr Berlusconi’s comments have upset the pro-Ukraine Meloni government, though just this week his top Forza Italia ally, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, insisted that Mr Berlusconi is committed to a peaceful solution to the war.</p>
<p>In January 2022, Mr Berlusconi withdrew his name from consideration to be Italy’s president.</p>
