ROME – When former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi arrived to cast his vote inthe election, he wasn’t expecting a topless FEMEN protester to jump on atable telling him that his time had “run out.” However, that’s exactly whathe got, RT has reported.
Footage posted online by RT’s Ruptly agency shows Berlusconi arriving atthe polls in Milan amid a sea of journalists. As he smiles at the cameras,he is startled by a topless girl with *“Berlusconi, your time has runout”* scrawledacross her chest, and the word “FEMEN” written on her back.
Berlusconi immediately walks away as the woman continues to shout theslogan *”Berlusconi, time has run out!”* The cameras turn to the protester,who is eventually dragged away.
It’s not the first time the 81-year old has been confronted by bare-chestedprotesters from the movement. The same thing happened in 2013, when threeFEMEN activists approached him in a similar way, accordinglink>toItalian news outlet Rai.
Founded in Ukraine in 2008, the FEMEN movement has become known for itstopless public stunts against religious, government and other publicinstitutions. It fled Ukraine in 2013, citing fears for the *”lives andfreedom”* of its members, and has since branched out to a number of othercountries, with its main headquarters now located in Paris.
