M5S wd clean toilets at Mediaset (2)

(ANSA) - Campobasso, April 20 - Centre-right Forza Italia (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.
    Earlier, Berlusconi emphatically ruled out the prospect of an agreement with the M5S despite his ally, rightwing populist League leader Matteo Salvini, negotiating with M5S leader on precisely that. "No agreement is possible with the M5S, a party that does not know the ABC of democracy," Berlusconi after arriving in Molise ahead of elections in the southern region.
    "They feel social envy, they are made up of unemployed people and represent a danger for Italy".
    The M5S has told the anti-migrant, Euroskeptic League, the biggest party in the centre-right coalition, that it must dump FI and fellow alliance partner Brothers of Italy (FdI) to make a deal for the formation of a new government possible.
    Berlusconi said he was disturbed by developments.
    "Great confusion reigns," Berlusconi said.
    "The Italian people voted very badly.
    "I'm following everything with disgust. It's going from bad to worse".
