Beppe Grillo is in Rome. Reception at the Chinese embassy

As reported by Il Foglio in recent weeks, Beppe Grillo’s anti-Conte campaign also involves a new stay in Rome. Following his appearance on Fedez’s podcast – which many, despite its combative tone, saw as a sign that he had given up on returning to the political fray – the comedian posted a photo of himself smiling to emphasise: ‘I’m not done with politics; I’m just exhausted by it’. Now the founder of the M5S is returning to Rome for at least a couple of days, during which, at the Hotel Forum, he will meet the few former MPs and M5S leaders who have remained close to him. Meanwhile, as his first engagement, Grillo attended the reception at the Chinese embassy. His passion for Beijing, after all, is a long-standing obsession of his.
