OPS, IN BRUSSELS THE M5S BREAKS IN HALF: HALF WITH FARMERS, HALF WITH GREEN EXTREMISTS

There is no peace for the Five Star Movement in Brussels. His life has always been complicated by the fact that he HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED BY ANY GROUP, and therefore by being the crutch of the Von Der Leyen Commission in exchange for less than a plate of lentils. Now we come to split on the vote relating to the PAC, the very important and contested Common Agricultural Policy, one of the main chapters of the Community budget.

Everything must be read from the point of view of the complete a-scientific madness that is affecting Parliament and the Commission for which everyone is convinced, to be able to change the world climate (attention, world, of which the Union is a secondary and environmentally irrelevant part) on the basis of expensive wacky policies and taxes on citizens. At first there would be hilarious examples, on the second you will begin to notice it from 2021. Having made this premise, the PAC also had to be painted completely green, but, due to the pressures of farmers and trade associations in general, this touch was limited a few brushstrokes. How to vote then? Here the quarrels began.

Of the 14 deputies, nine sided with the group leader Giarrusso, voting yes to the CAP; while five, Piernicola Pedicini, Eleonora Evi, Ignazio Corrao, Rosa D'Amato, Laura Ferrara, voted against, because they felt that the "Green" component was not sufficient and therefore the measure should be rejected.

As we have said, this is not a position on a secondary point, but perhaps on the most important one in the European budget and policies. It is clear that some of the members want to join the Greens, from which they have already been rejected, and therefore try to be accepted with conclusive behavior, while some of the members do not know which path to take and remain equidistant. Maybe a split will clarify.
