(FI) leader and media magnate Silvio Berlusconi said Friday the
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) would only be capable
of cleaning the toilets if they worked for his Mediaset empire.
"They're people who've never done anything in life: in my
firm I'd hire them to clean the toilets," he said.
Berlusconi said M5S leader Luigi Di Maio has "the gift of
the gab, I can't deny it, but he has never done anything good
for himself, for his family, for the country. We can't entrust
Italy to people like him".
The M5S) replied to Berlusconi's taunt by saying it was
better to earn an honest wage cleaning toilets than to do do
deals with the mafia.
"Better to live honestly, perhaps thanks to 'cleaning
toilets', rather than doing deals with the #Mafia. Do you
understand, Silvio?," tweeted M5S Senator Nicola Morra.
