The Doctor

Mattarella re-elected as President of Italy.

I wuold be surprised too! Napolitano will be 97 this June and he had a couple of strokes after he left the presidency. I am really impressed that he is sill alive...

Berlusconi had again 7 votes in the second round.

Indeed. This afternoon the right party will announce their candidates; and Berlusconi will not be among them.

Berlusconi received only 7 votes in the first round of the election. But no President has been elected, so tomorrow there will be another round.

But I think he will be discharged already today or tomorrow.

No. It is just a political decision.

Berlusconi has just retired his candidacy. https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/politica/2022/01/22/quirinale-cav-alle-16.30-zoom-ministri-fi-poi-18-centrodestra_eb20c194-ff82-481b-b54d-b638fa0a3c7b.html

He is losing pieces... As the 24th of January is aproching it looks like he is not more so favorite.

But he is still missing some votes to be elected as 13th President of Italy.

Change your VPN and it will work.

To me it looks like he is ready to face the illness; not that it is giving it up.

Third straight year with a death at the position 33: 2020: John Edrich 2021: Walter Mondale 2022: Sidney Poitier

After less than a year, it's almost time for a new 'top 10' of the oldest living cardinals.

January 24th will begin the election for the 13th President of Italy. Let's see if Berlusconi can work it out or not...

AS Italian I am happy to see Italy back again on DL (after the last one was Dino De Laurentiis in 2010). But I still think that former president Giorgio Napolitan is still a better choice. If Berlusconi was a really a name to put on the Deathlist, I think that he shouldn't be considered for precidency in the next moths.

As an Italian, it wold be great if a couple of Italian will be back in the DL 2022!

What do you all think about Alice Munro? The Canadian author and Nobel Prize will turn 91 next year (10th of July) and she had a cancer and heart problems back in October 2009.

Well... There has been many candidates on the list for more than 7 straight years. Take a look to Prince Philip: he was on the list since 2013.

Actually he is in the list only from three years; not seven.

I am not so sure if he will be able to ensure himself enough parliamentarians for the election. And now here in Italy people are talking about a female president. But maybe I am wrong and next year, in February, he will be our 13th President...

Absolutely! I will be surprised if he reaches 100!

For 2022 I would add * Former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori who is quite sick * Former Italian president Giorgio Napolitano who will turn 97 years old in june 2022 and suffered of heart disease a few years ago. Actually he is the longest former linving president of Italy.
