The latest shot is that of Di Maio on the taxis of the Mediterranean, but this is becoming the distinctive style of the M5S who, riding the belly of the Italians, are now too often snipers on the moral authorities, institutions and even scientists of their own country sometimes of the world.
The bullshit that Italians are trying to pass on vaccines as an expression of Bilderberg, i.e. tools of pharmaceutical multinationals (which will have their skeletons in the closet but on other issues) that are dangerous to health, instead of indispensable tools for disease prevention, would make you laugh if it didn't make you cry.
More generally, in fact, the scientific references of the M5S seem to be not the best luminaries around but a kind of subcultural undergrowth, a sort of neo-alchemists unearthed in the most improbable meanders of a decadent Italy.
The latest example, in fact, is the attack on Roberto Saviano for having defended the NGOs that help manage the permanent crisis of the influx of migrants. First of all, it must be recognized that no one is infallible and even Saviano can be wrong. But, for a Movement that is accredited as the main political force in the Italians' voting intentions, it is not acceptable to address the issue with diversions, such as precisely making the migration crisis descend from the "Mediterranean taxis".
Even if there were some black sheep, this is unworthy of the vast majority of NGOs who, in that very delicate problem, help people in difficulty (those who speak lightly should put themselves in the shoes of those desperate people who risk their lives by crossing the Sicily) and perform an excellent task.
Then, a force that is a candidate to govern the country is asked to clarify a policy to manage the phenomenon starting from the situations in the countries of origin. On this, the Renzi government, with the wise management of the Foreign Ministry led by Gentiloni, had put forward an interesting proposal to engage in policies to support development in the countries of origin, obviously with the involvement of the European Union.
What does the M5S think? It would be more useful to have answers to these questions than to see the M5S sniping on Saviano who, I repeat, may be wrong but still deserves respect, having lived under guard for years for his proven civil commitment.
