The Italian left-wing “Five Star Movement” (M5S) received 3.5 million Euros (about $4 million) from Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez in 2010, the Spanish newspaper ABC revealed this week.
The Five Star Movement is an Italian populist Leftist movement founded in 2009 by comedian Beppe Grillo and web strategist Gianroberto Casaleggio. The Movement is known to be Eurosceptic and environmentalist. According to the Movement’s website, it is “neither Left or Right-Wing, but for ideas” – most of which fall on the left side of the spectrum. ABC describes the party as having “ecological, anti-imperialist, and -Europeanist inspiration.”
Casaleggio died in 2016; the party is currently led by Vito Crimi after Luigi Di Maio resigned as the party’s leader last January.

I know that living standards aren’t as good and I know that their military could never fight off a formidable enemy

People move to where the opportunities are, and the most capable and ambitious people are the ones most likely to move.
I did not know that about Scotland.
I still picture them as strong and independent minded and valuing freedom above all.
Things change in a lot of places...i guess that’s the way life is.
Afraid so
