Beppe Grillo praise for Putin and silence on the war

Beppe Grillo, praise for Putin and silence on the war in Ukraine | Aldo Grasso

Beppe Grillo’s silence.

On its blog, Elevato talks about everything from alternative energy to universal basic income, but not a word about the Russian invader. Why can Grillo remain silent, where does so much impunity come from? Did he say: Putin? International politics needs strong statesmen like him. It was he who warned: Enough with Russophobia. It was he who saw Putin as a win for humanity: US foreign policy was a disaster under Obama. If Trump wants to move closer to Putin to get things back on track, he can only have our support. Two giants as they talk: the dream of the whole world!.

But now Grillo is silent. Grillo never foots the bill for his tricks. When things go bad, Grillo locks himself up in Sant’Ilario in the Fool’s Free Zone. With its vaffa, with its scorn, with its judicialist fury, with its political fraud disguised as popmillennialism, with its notion of radical democracy (you’re worth one), it has done immeasurable damage to the country. For a long time he offered a spectacle of subculture and subpolitics, from which some of his own now seem to distance themselves. But Beppe Grillo never pays the bill, silence is enough for him. The silence of the notinnocent.
