Vasile puts health and family on the table, a cancer and three operations: “I’m going on my honeymoon”

the health of Paolo Vasile has jumped into the media after the news of his replacement at the head of Mediaset. The executive has revealed that he has undergone several surgeries from which he is still convalescing, his kidney problems and that he suffered from cancer that he kept secret.

All of this is combined with phrases like these: “Everything I could give I have given to the family Berlusconi, all my time and all my passion. I could die at any moment,” he said Tuesday. “If I die tomorrow it’s no big deal. I can boast that in my whole life I have been very lucky, “he said, almost on the verge of tears.

In conversations with various media, the Roman has confessed that he has spent this week for three operations, “two small and one large”. The manager, little given to exposing himself in excess, has jumped into the ring to clarify that they are not kicking him out, that he is leaving after they have begged him to hold on in office. Of course, he claims the efficiency of his management and also repeats the magnificent relations with Berlusconi after four decades at his service, whom he praises as a “second father”. Let’s not forget that the leak jumped in The worldwhose owner is the Milanese urban Cairo, former employee of Berlusconi and probably the only businessman who can claim to have cheated Il Cavaliere in business.

But as much as the communication strategy designed to lessen the blow received by the leaking of his exit puts the accent on the formal question of whether he has been given a ticket or not, the two essential and unquestionable facts are that he will stop piloting the listed company and that the audience results of the last year have dropped him from the top of the podium after a long time leading the audiovisual roost. As Vasile himself says this Wednesday on Abc, “success has no opinions, they are only results, like school grades.” Effectively. And Paolo is no longer the first in the class.

secret cancer

At 69 years old, the anthropologist has brought up his health in his appearances with the press, explaining that he still squirms in his chair, although always positive: “Pain also serves to atone for sins,” says the anthropologist. Paolo Vasile has lived for half a century the ordeal of one of the worst sufferings, that caused by having kidney stones. In addition, he overcame prostate cancer, although he wanted to hide it from his team, perhaps not to cause concern in the markets. After all, Mediaset is a listed company.

Vasile even justifies the shadows of Berlusconi with the law with arguments typical of the most vile collaborators of his verpertine programs: “In the history of humanity, the great people were not perfect,” he says, to finish off with a ‘and you more’: “Andy Warhol, the greatest artist of the modern era, had dark sides,” says this executive who was a trash talk show host for a day, if we take into account the level of his speech. “I don’t want to absolve any sin, but all the great characters in history have had something imperfect,” he repeats.

Honeymoon

Another of the news that Paolo Vasile gives and that brings him closer to one of the characters that make up the pink programming of his chain has to do with his marriage. It turns out that after 42 years married he has not had a honeymoon. because on his day he couldn’t. “We got married on a Monday and we went out that day at night, but we had no chance and it is something that has been pending. So we will surely go on our honeymoon,” explains the manager.
