Wu Ming: Grillismo: Yet another right-wing cult coming from Italy

Un lungo articolo in inglese, che i Wu Ming hanno scritto per un'importante rivista, che evidenza il carattere autoritario e reazionario del M5S fondato da Beppe Grillo e Casaleggio.

[A week ago a prestigious British magazine asked us for a long piece on Grillismo. We wrote it and submitted it, but there was some misunderstanding, and they edited it too heavily for our own taste. We clarified the matter with them, but at that point we were way beyond the deadline and the issue went to print without our contribution. Too bad, but no grudge held. The piece was too long - almost 5,000 words - to submit it to any other mag or newspaper, let them do all the editing all over again and have it published in a reasonable lapse of time. Over here the situation is very bad, and people abroad are completely disinformed about it. Every day we read nonsense and bullshit on Grillo by people who completely ignore the reactionary, authoritarian nature of his movement. A harsh reality is biting our arses and we need to send a message in a bottle right now.

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."
