Let's say it like it is: the fight against the caste of gods Five stars it has never been a serious matter but only a clever expedient to caress the populism and collect votes and political consensus. This does not mean that it has not done damage: it is enough to think of the cut in the number of parliamentarians without any differentiation between the role of the Chamber and that of the Senate or of the introduction of the welfare Basic income which purported to abolish poverty by law except copy the REI strongly desired by governments Renzi e Gentiloni and which has spectacularly failed to create new jobs. Without forgetting the parliamentary distrust with which the Five Stars brought down the Draghi government and paved the way for the right-wing's electoral triumph Giorgia Meloni.
But if in the golden years of grillism the fight against caste was laughable, today – in M5S a guide Tale – becomes humorous. How else to interpret the green light of the Five Stars together with the center – but not to Pd, Italy Viva-Azione e Greens-Left (who abstained) – the increase of 1.300 euros per month (16 euros net more per year) in the salaries of the group leaders of the Chamber? Knowing they had done it big and having a straw as big as a house, the Five Stars then grabbed at straws explaining that in reality the increase will not cost the citizens because it is deducted from the funds of the parliamentary groups and that they, in any case , they won't cash it. Politics, as we know, is often full of Byzantinisms but one question is legitimate: if the Five Stars are ashamed to collect salary increases for the group leaders of the Chamber, why did they vote for them? Down from the tower without a doubt.
