My interview about Beppe Grillo on BBC Profile

At the beginning of March I was interviewed for the BBC program called "Profile" about my experience of being kicked out from the Movimento 5 Stelle by Beppe Grillo for my appearance to the popular talk show on the italian national television "Ballarò".

Journalist: "He's also been attacked for what critics claim is his autocratic style. At the end of last year, Federica Salsi, a counselor for the Five Star Movement in Bologna, was frozen out of the party when she ignored Beppe Grillo's orders for his representatives to stay off TV."

Federica Salsi: "I went to a talk show, it's very popular on italian television. The transmission went well, but the next day Beppe Grillo published a post on his blog entitled 'The talk show kills you'. Grillo used a very strong language with precise sexual references to criticize me as a person and not the political content of my speech."

Journalist: "After her appearance, Grillo took... named comments which led to accusation of chauvinism. Federica Salsi says she felt humiliated."

Federica Salsi: "I was mortified, he has shown himself to be a victim of the Berlusconi culture; he was very unpleasant, chauvinist like the others. He talked about about me not like a politician, but like a woman and he was very degrading."
