Italian media suggested on the 29 April 2014 that the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) would not expel Silvio Berlusconi from its ranks because they need his Forza Italia party to win next month’s European Parliament elections, despite his remarks on Germany’s Nazi past.

Mr. Berlusconi's statements received criticism from the EPP election frontrunner, former Luxembourg premier Jean-Claude Juncker, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
