 Soaking rain didlittle to deter1 protesters determine to greet Silvio Berlusconi as he arrivedat a polling station in Milan.Shouting " Enough, Berlusconi, enough"and baring their breasts, the demonstrators grappled with security asthey tried to deliver their message to the former Italian prime minister inperson. Berlusconi, who is trying to make a return to his Italian politics, facescharges he slept with an under-aged prostitute. His attempt to come back isn'tsitting well with some Italians who feared the billionaire's penchant2 forscandal will overshadow the country's economic crisis, a fact that didn't seemto face Berlusconi as he cast his ballot3. Asked about the day's rockets, he hadthis to say, ”This behavior is excessive and exaggerated, intelligent peoplewill use their heads and they will use their vote in this election. Theirstrange demonstration4 wasn't reasonable, dosen't make sense and we really can'tdo anything about them.” The protesters from the international women's rightsgroup were taken away by police.
