Marco Setaccioli wrote that listening to Riccardo Ricciardi of the 5 Star Movement required patience, but could be instructive. He reported that, as a guest the day before on Piazzapulita on La7, Ricciardi had corrected Giorgia Mulè multiple times and even corrected himself, using the terms "arms" and "rearmament" in response to those discussing defense and security. According to Setaccioli, M5S representatives often resorted to those words in Parliament, on television, in the squares, and in Marco Travaglio’s newspaper, to stir up outrage by linking rearmament to the rising cost of living, healthcare waiting lists, the scarcity of university housing, and even bad weather. He added that a young guest on the same episode, Fouad, repeated the slogan "more school, less arms" while, in his opinion, making an unacceptable "non-condemnation" of those responsible for the devastation in Milan, without knowing figures and spending mechanisms. Setaccioli argued that this could lead people to believe that 14 billion would be spent on arms while prices were rising and schools were falling apart. He stated that, through the SAFE mechanism, the capital invested in security would be returned after 10 years, over 35 years, and at almost zero interest. He also wrote that spending on arms, adjusted for inflation, had increased proportionally more in the three measures approved by Giuseppe Conte in peacetime than in the four enacted by the Meloni government, despite two large-scale wars ongoing. According to Setaccioli, that year's budget had increased the defense budget by 1.1 billion, an amount that likely would not have been enough to offset the rising cost of living, while the consequences of the Superbonus would have cost 40 billion. He concluded that no funds would be taken from schools to favor arms lobbyists and attributed the precarious conditions of institutions to the choices of those who, in his view, preferred to finance thermal coats, fixtures, and facades of second homes and castles. #M5S #Difesa #Sicurezza (translated)
