I'll tell you about the circus set up by the 5 Star Movement in the government

What does the 5 Star Movement combine?

Finally I found a politician who somehow participated in the Giallorossi area from his posts as governor of Emilia Romagna and president of the State-Regions Conference , who had the courage to really say how things are. Of course I speak of Stefano Bonaccini. Who, interviewed by Maria Teresa Meli for Corriere della Sera on the conditioning, delays and anything else that the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte suffers for the internal crisis of the movement that brought him to Palazzo Chigi in 2018, and imposed its confirmation l 'year after Matteo Salvini's Pd took over from the League, he said verbatim: “I have the utmost respect for everyone's fibrillation, but we are here to solve the problems of the country, not of individual political forces”.

In short, Italy, and not only the Democratic Party, although reassured by the fact that it had lost "only" the Marche region in the last round of elections, and not also Puglia and Tuscany, cannot remain hanging from Beppe's now bare tree Grillo and friends, or associates. Another two and a half years like this, as many as there are approximately until the ordinary epilogue of the legislature, no one can handle them, even if well attended in that sort of resuscitation ward that has become the Quirinale for Conte: "the doroteo of post politics ”, Massimiliano Panarari has just defined it in the Press . Doroteo in the DC had become synonymous with opportunist.

Despite all the appreciation that Bonaccini's severity deserves, and the fear that they should have under the five stars as a possible competitor, sooner or later, of the more patient or indecisive Nicola Zingaretti at the helm of the Democratic Party, perhaps a further dose of frankness to call what the so-called identity crisis of the Grillino movement really deserves.

Gregorio De Falco, the frigate captain known for his outburst against the commander of the Concordia ship, Francesco Schettino, which was wrecked in 2012 on the island of Giglio, knew the grillino movement well as a senator. Of whose "slow, very slow death" he has just spoken to Corriere saying that the country has become "hostage to this agony".

Okay, there may be resentment in the words of the parliamentarian expelled for indiscipline by Grillo's quasi-party. But hear how the pentastellato president of the Antimafia Nicola Morra has just described it with satisfaction, a teacher aware – I believe – of the meaning of the words he uses: "The 5-star movement is something liquid, which must dynamically evolve without distorting itself". Something liquid, or even gaseous, from which performances of strength and threats like those of the group leader Davide Crippa also start. Who has just mentioned in the Corriere della Sera that "whatever you want to do, you have to go through us". And to the Prime Minister who exposed himself to mentioning the necessary restrictions also on the so-called and abused citizenship income, he replied: “Conte knows very well that the Movement is the most loyal force it has in Parliament and that it cannot ignore us”.

The dying person, in short, to remain in the image of De Falco, alternates gasps, challenges and threats, in a show that is anachronistic to say the least, not to mention the "war between gangs" complained by the grillino president of the Chamber Roberto Fico talking about the upcoming States General of the movement, or "generic", as the usually adoring editor of the Fatto Quotidiano had to admit.
