On April 21, 2026, two prominent Mediaset journalists challenged the Berlusconi family, contributing to an ongoing debate about a potential strategic shift in their political and media influence from a traditional centre-right stance towards a more liberal and progressive orientation. Previously, on April 16, MFE-MediaForEurope reported strong financial results for 2025, with consolidated revenues increasing by 37% to €4.03 billion. The Italy-based broadcasting group's consolidated net profit more than doubled to €301 million, an increase of 118%, marking one of its strongest performances in recent years, driven by €3.24 billion in net advertising revenues and €793 million in other revenues. This follows remarks on April 15 from Francisco Pedro Balsemão, head of the Impresa group, who confirmed his company's close collaboration with MFE on a pan-European strategy. Balsemão noted MFE had become Impresa’s second-largest shareholder just over a month prior, praising MFE as the only industry player correctly pursuing pan-European growth and highlighting Impresa’s need for capital despite its leading position in Portugal.
