(ANSA) - Rome, June 23 - Ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi, the
leader of the centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party, on Friday
blasted the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) and its
leader, comedian-turned-politician Beppe Grillo.
"It's a movement that changes its mind about everything,"
Berlusconi, whose FI is vying for third place with the Northern
League in the polls, a long way behind the M5S and the ruling
Democratic Party (PD), told La7 television.
"Grillo is a good comic with a bad habit for getting himself
paid off the books, surrounded by people who have never done
anything - the real political professions, people who did
nothing before the elections.
Berlusconi also spoke about the M5S's Rome Mayor Virginia
Raggi, who is under investigation in relation to some
appointments.
"She should not give a damn about the investigations," he
said.
"We should not have investigations blowing up the voters'
decisions any more.
"If anything, she should leave due to incapacity".
