Why It Matters
The 'poltronificio law' was approved in Sardinia in 2021 by the centre-right council. The M5S, in opposition at the time, had harshly criticized the law.
Beppe Grillo returns to the attack on the 5 Star Movement and does so on the day of Saint Francis, recalling the original values of the party and choosing the imperfect: the Franciscan principles, he writes on his blog, "was inspired by a political force, founded on 4 October 2009, whose vision was that of service in the institutions to improve the lives of citizens, rather than aiming for personal enrichment".
In the sights of the former guarantor this time there is Sardinia and the so-called "poltronificio law", approved in 2021 by the center-right council led by Christian Solinas. At the time the M5s, in opposition together with the Democratic Party, had harshly contested the law, accusing the majority of multiplying assignments and consultancy. Now Grillo points the finger at the Movement which, having arrived at the government of the Region in the coalition led by Alessandra Todde, would not have canceled that law but would have used its possibilities to appoint consultants and collaborators. "For a political force inspired by Saint Francis, if it had ever risen to the government of Sardinia, the first item on the agenda should have been to abolish this law", he writes in the speech entitled 'Today is October 4th. And everything's fine.' "Has this rule actually been abolished? No, it has been exploited. Precisely by those who wanted it abolished", he attacks.
Then the final thrust: "Today is October 4th. And everything is fine.
Because no one says anything about the principles and values of Saint Francis. And that's exactly the problem."
