Cairo mayor of Milan? He has always liked emulating Berlusconi but would he be ready to imitate Bloomberg by leaving the Corriere?

"I mayor of Milan? Why not? Milan is my city, I love it." What did he really want to say? Urban Cairo, publisher of Corriere della Sera quality La7 and president of Torino Football Club, thus responding, half seriously and half jokingly, to “Un Giorno da Pecora” on Rai Radio1? We'll find out soon, but his passion for politics is nothing new. She has always had it, because her role model has always been Silvio Berlusconi, of which he was the private secretary before leaving Fininvest following the turbulent events of Tangentopolis. A football team, a TV, a newspaper and politics: Cairo's dream, as FIRSTonline reported back in 2017, has always been to become the Cav 2.0. Of course, having a rival Milanese team like Toro in your wallet and heart isn't the best thing for anyone who wants to be mayor of Milan, but the real problem is if Cairo ever enters politics and wants to run as a candidate in three years to lead the metropolis Lombard, it's not that. It's the one from Corriere della Sera. A mayor who owns the first national newspaper and especially the Milan newspaper would not be the best of style. But it would be enough to look across the Atlantic to when, at the beginning of 2000, the billionaire Michael Bloomberg he ran for and became mayor of New York. America will have many defects but respect for competition, pluralism and the rules of the game also applies in politics, even if today Donald Trump He does everything he can to make us forget it. On that occasion Bloomberg did a very simple thing: he resigned as CEO of his large publishing house. Would Cairo be willing to do the same? Bets are accepted.
