Travaglio sul Fatto Quotidiano shows the stars to Grillo
What Marco Travaglio's Fatto Quotidiano writes about the 5 Star Movement and Beppe Grillo
More than expulsions, announced in a context of such statutory confusion that the courts will probably have to deal with, it is now time for purges under the 5 Stars. To the 15 rebel senators, who denied trust in Mario Draghi's government and ended up with their photos in some newspaper as wanted, were added the 31 Grillini deputies who imitated them in Montecitorio. And there are 46, if we still know how to count.
Poor Marco Travaglio on his Fatto Quotidiano does not rest. Yet he will have to give it to himself because I have the feeling that Beppe Grillo as a purifier will not let himself be stopped by his protests and his stinging irony. That has already made another victim of the mania of mangling the names of people and things they do not like. The 5 Star Movement, for example, became the once adoring 5 Chair Movement in the newspaper. Which is not bad, it must be admitted, naturally from the point of view of the very angry censor, surprised by so much "incoherent" attachment, in red, to the seats of the government and the sub-government.
From an amused spectator of his shows, at the end of which the comedian often entertained him at dinner and anticipated news, not daring to suspect that he was giving him directives, Travaglio has now become a historian of Grillo, writing about the past, but still preserving a memory of it. up to his habits as an archivist, capable at any time of the day to quote even by heart the criminal record of the unfortunate person on duty and a very accurate collection of his most famous, significant, nailing sentences and so on.
This time the editor of Fatto Quotidiano was outclassed in the Press , in the happy column of Buongiorno , by Mattia Feltri. Who has given Grillo back these pearls of the not so distant years in which you could not appoint a party other than his Movement without giving him the stomach upset. Listen: "Poor country where alliances are discussed … We do not ally with anyone … .. The demolition has begun, we are sending them all home … ..I am the guarantor against the disagreement of politics … .. alliances is a terrible word … .We will never make alliances, neither to the right nor to the left… .it is an imperative principle… .to think that we will make alliances is like thinking that a panda eats raw meat, it is against nature… .we do not ally ourselves, the network will control " . And down at this point a very long and yet incomplete list, I fear, of the parties, small parties, bushes, movements with which the grillini have allied themselves in this phantasmagoric legislature: a list from "yellow pages", according to the title happily given to Buongiorno on this Friday 19 February 2021.
The "scipolitization" of politics complained at the time by Grillo naturally derives from the former di-petrifist parliamentarian Domenico Scilipoti, Mimmo per gli amici, who conquered the front pages of the newspapers in 2010 helping to save the last government of Silvio Berlusconi from the assault on bayonet of friends and followers of the then President of the Chamber Gianfranco Fini. Who in the previous months had challenged the Knight to "kick him out" from the party they had improvised together, but where the ambitious right-wing leader had got into the habit of leading him in a sordid fight, even chirping against him with some magistrate in public meetings . In these days Scilipoti has been seen and heard in the corridors of the Senate happy with Draghi as Grillo.
