I’ll tell you about Beppe Grillo’s latest gag
What is Beppe Grillo doing?
Giuseppe Conte therefore said yes to Beppe Grillo and to the other real or presumed big stars of the 5 Stars, but Davide Casaleggio was absent. Who offered him in front of the remains of the Imperial Forums of Rome – other than the originally planned beach of Bibbona – the task of refounding and guiding the movement, or what remains of it after two and a half years of government conducted – let's not forget – by the same With you. Which, nevertheless, has become or is perceived in those parts as "the indispensable", without the capital letter reserved for the qualifications of "Guarantor", "Elevated" and more by Grillo: word of the unsuspected Daily Fact at the end of the chronicle of Conte's special day. On whose reservations, in accepting the offer, the newspaper of Marco Travaglio overlooked the headlines, while correctly informing that the former Prime Minister took "a few weeks" to draw up a "refoundation plan" with a college of lawyers . He also assured that he will remain "friends as before" in the event of a renounce.
The symbol and name of the new or refounded movement could also change. On the other hand, the core of the program will not change, shared in front of – I repeat – the imperial forums, at the cost of reducing even the new formation to ruins, given the results achieved after the electoral victory in 2018: the mobilization "against corruption, inequalities, rents of position, privileges ”, with ample faculty of course to define in this way everything that is not liked, however legitimate, and therefore also to exchange fireflies for lanterns.
Vast program, the good soul of Charles De Gaulle already quoted many times would have said. A nice "Big Bang", wrote Ezio Mauro in Repubblica . A program suitable for the "man of Coincidence", wrote the Huffpost thinking perhaps also of Providence, which rhymes with the rest. Conte, on the other hand, has excellent relations with the other bank of the Tiber, where men of Providence have already been glimpsed in the past on the road to Italy. And never mind if al Tempo, opposite Palazzo Chigi, where ours worked for almost half of this term, already imagine a disappointed, tired, perhaps even defeated Count with this comment all in Roman dialect: "It was almost easier to manage a pandemic ".
To help themselves in the objectively difficult task of making those who once took pleasure in feeling "Martians" on earth – as some cartoonists recall to whom Grillo also gave the surprise of arriving with an astronaut helmet at yesterday's Roman appointment – Conte it seems to have the purpose of a great peace-making gesture: a kind of amnesty for the expelled or the expelled, which are many. On the other hand, it should be easy in itself to join a new movement, which one would like to be refounded, albeit with the same proudly populist program. "Welcoming and uncompromising" are the adjectives assigned to the new creature, according to Il Fatto Quotidiano , by Conte. In the press, Francesca Schianchi attributed a kind of political contract with Grillo "from now to 2050", when the "people's advocate" – do you remember? – he will have turned 85, and Grillo even 101. Best wishes to you both, of course. And also to Italy, despite being put to such a severe test.
