«The political class must be selected by drawing lots»- Corriere.it

Little, very little politics. Gag about memory, about his personal history, about the physique. A defense of the Superbonus. But Beppe Grillo in the Milanese stage of his show “I am the worst” at the National Theater seems to be once again just a stage performer. Yet the M5S guarantor does not spare some digs. He talks about the probe balloon given to the new Chinese ambassador. “We are eating this democracy, it has become light,” says Grillo. Who returns to speaking of abstention (“Nobody goes to vote anymore”) and relaunches his idea of ​​selecting the political class by lot: “Wouldn’t it be possible to select a hundred thousand people in Italy?”, he wonders. And he draws a comparison with the US popular juries that hand down death sentences: “If such a thing can be decided, can’t you ask a person if he can take care of Milan’s transport for a year?”. Then he stabbed her: “The parties are over, the young people know it.”

The guarantor from the stage – there was also applause in the audience Renato Pozzetto – defends the suburbs: «The suburbs are the soul of a city». The 5 Stars are almost not mentioned. But some political opponents end up in the showman’s sights. “Berlusconi looks like the grandfather of Crozza who is imitating Crozza who imitates Berlusconi”. And then he attacks the Brothers of Italy: «You know the three from Barnum? The dwarf, the strongman and the bearded woman, that I am Meloni, Crosetto and La Russa». Grillo then, in launching his new religion, Elsewhere, touches on economic issues, invoking a happy decline. And he says: “We are exporting gas three times more than before the war started.” «Nuclear power? It doesn’t stand financially.” Grillo returns to relaunch the unconditional universal basic income. “The movement was successful at the beginning because it was evangelical, the words were warriors” and he invokes gratitude.

Meanwhile, positive news is coming from the management of the blog for the showman. According to what is claimed by theAdnkronos, the 2021 financial year of Beppegrillo Srl, the company that manages and takes care of the Genoese comedian’s blog (latest available report), reports a positive result of 39,295 euros compared to the “red” of 12,457 euros reported from the previous year. The company received “Covid non-repayable contributions” for 32,514 euros indicated in the item “other revenues and income”.
