(Roberto Rizzuto) “Padania is bullshit, Piemonte, Veneto and Tuscany are real, they are States, not Regions, just like Sicily and Sardinia. As soon as we realize this, we will be able to get rid of the Northern League and lay the basis of a new Italy”. This is what Beppe Grillo said on his blog, talking against Umberto Bossi and his party, guilty of having created a “marketing invention”, i.e. Padania. But the comedian from Genoa also slaps southern Italy and the Vatican.

 

“If Padania doesn’t exist (and it doesn’t exist) – wrote Grillo – why does the Northern League get all those voted? And if Garibaldi’s Regno del Sud disappeared a long time ago, why does it still exist divided into four criminal organizations, camorra, sacra corona unita, 'ndrangheta and mafia, that govern more than the Bourbons or the Italian Republic? If the Vatican lost all it properties at the end of the 1800s, why does it still have hundreds of MPs that follow its instructions? According to Grillo, “Italy is not in peace with itself, it never accepted a unification wanted by an elite and by the appetite of the Savoia family, the weakest royal family in Europe. So Padania is a marketing invention, created by Miglio first and then Bossi, who denied the blood shed to unite Italy. Refusal and ignorance allowed the birth of the Northern League”
