Beppe Grillo chuckles in the left-wing cemetery
What Beppe Grillo writes and babbles about. Damato's Scratches
Among the most used oxymorons, or the most abused of all, is that of "deafening silence". In which a man who was among the noisiest, most effervescent and talkative political actors, and not just comedians, was closed, or ajar: Beppe Grillo. Which Ennio Flaiano has just discovered on the blog, feeling himself part of a "silent minority" uncomfortable in the land of "arabesques".
WHAT GRILLO DOESN'T WRITE ABOUT THE DEFEAT IN ABRUZZO
The still "guarantor" of the 5 Star Movement chaired by Giuseppe Conte – but at the same time a contract communications consultant, and therefore in a potential conflict of interests that dwarfs even those once contested in other ways by the good soul of Silvio Berlusconi , the "psychomaniac" mocked by the Genoese comedian himself – has not uttered a word, a syllable, a vowel – at least until the moment of writing – on the scoppola, to say the least, that his team took last Sunday in Abruzzo . Where the Five Star Movement has fallen to a third of the Democratic Party.
Not a word, a syllable, a vowel was spent by Grillo last month not even for the losses of his followers in Sardinia, who also fell to minimal levels there, halfway with the Democratic Party, but on the other hand rewarded by the generous Elly Schlein with the candidacy of the five-star party Alessandra Todde as governor. Which prevailed by less than two thousand votes over its competitor from the centre-right, although in poor health, unhappily imposed on its own coalition by the prime minister herself, Giorgia Meloni.
CAMPO LARGO OR CAMPOSANTO?
Having already risen "elsewhere" in his own imagination for some time, and today declaredly "another" who advertises himself to sell tickets for his shows, Beppe Grillo seems to have exhausted even the stocks of newspapers he used as paper in the toilet at home hygienic. He can easily recognize himself in the cartoon on his blog which shows him rejuvenated and slimmed down on the toilet while he says, verbatim: "We would like a nice newspaper but they got smart: they're all online!". And you can't see a bidet in the shadow bathroom, so it's easy to imagine how the "altissimo" session will end. Which is another of the nicknames given by Grillo in squares and theaters.
If you think about what this comedian has managed to produce and provoke in politics since the summer of 2009, when he signed up in the summer to a section of the Democratic Party in Arzachena, Sardinia, to try to climb the national secretariat from which he had Walter Veltroni resigned, he was rejected and in reaction he decided to found his own movement with swear words shouted in the main square of Bologna in the autumn; if you think, I repeat, of what this comedian has managed to do politically in 15 years, what ruling and governing class – so to speak – he has managed to give birth and grow, we frankly don't know whether this is the case more than laugh than cry.
The Democratic Party, despite gaining a few decimals, is today reduced to chasing Grillo's heirs, children, grandchildren and the like on a field variously called: also cemetery. The cemetery of the left.
