The editorial by Marco Travaglio

In his editorial, Marco Labor praises the Sardines and criticizes Pd and Five Star Movement, incapable – in his opinion – of "returning to speak to that square without putting on his hat". For the director of Everyday occurrence, the success of the Sardines in Bologna was possible thanks to two factors: the first is "the distance from the parties: while Zinga and Bonaccini attempted to take possession of the full square, there the banner" Lega and Pd two faces of the same coin "paraded" . The second is «the irony, of which Cazzaro (epithet with which Travaglio defines Salvini, ed), swollen with air like the frog of the fairy tale, is totally lacking. As well as his opponents, who continue to take him terribly seriously ».

Travaglio then continues its analysis comparing the Sardines of Bologna to Wandering of 2002 and claims that young people have "the same spontaneous spirit (…) of the V-Day of Grillo and Casaleggio in 2007-2008 ":" To deflate the inflated balloons, a pin is enough. They had already understood this in the spring the young and not-so-young of the South who welcomed the beach tour of the then Interior Minister with funny banners on the balconies of the houses ».

Among the main supporters of the girotondino movement we find the director Nanni Moretti.
