After Beppe Grillonow it’s up to you again Joseph Conte. He speaks at the ‘Il Fatto quotidiano’ party and dictates his conditions: “After these outings with Grillo we have not spoken again, he has not called me again. We will see ahead, but it is not a Grillo-Conte issue, it is a Grillo-community issue. I will never accept living in a community in which there is a subject elevated above the community itself. If this principle passes and I do not see how it can pass, I could not be there”, says the leader of the Movement. The latest attack from the guarantor came a few days ago, when Grillo prepared the militants for the crossroads they will soon find themselves facing: “In October you will have to choose, Conte is not renewing the M5s but is tearing it down”. In other words: hands off the 5Stelle.
Air of split? “It is a prospect that we have never thought of, not even imagined and that would surprise me a lot. It would be the greatest contradiction, the most radical one of the M5S”, replies Conte. Who speaks of the relationship with Grillo: “It has never been idyllic you say, but I have always respected and continue to respect his role as founder of the M5S. No one should ever overlook this great achievement, the Movement started from nothing to respond to the needs of citizens. The issue is that now we must interpret not the needs of 15-20 years ago but those of today, understand how to interpret the society of tomorrow. If it were possible to apply the same recipe, evidently I would not have been there either. There is a recipe that no longer works. The best way to respect the principles of the Movement is to update them with a constituent assembly. Now the participants will vote on what the priorities are – the words of Conte speaking at the party of ‘Il Fatto quotidiano’ – We immediately spoke about the constituent process with Grillo. The symbol has already changed several times in the history of the Movement, most recently we put the word peace. The double mandate? When I was not there, the zero mandate was introduced. The symbol and the rule of the double mandate have already changed, then maybe the symbol will not change, I am very fond of the 5 stars”. And again. “I am not here to be a lawyer, the lawyers will take care of it. I am here to be the leader of a political community. As for the legal issues, I will not go back to being a lawyer, there are the lawyers. There is Grillo’s commitment not to oppose the symbol and I believe that Grillo as guarantor will respect it”, adds Conte.
‘Operation Conte’ to stop Grillo, email to M5S members: “You have 5 days to click or your account will be deactivated”

A broad topic in the centre-left. The former prime minister repeats a condition that is crucial for him: “We will never be able to work with Renzi and build a project with him”. Regarding a possible return of Renzi to the broad field, several ‘boos’ and ‘out’ were raised from the audience. Do you trust him? “Nooo”, those present responded. “You say I brought the claque with me? – Conte added – I think I bring it everywhere because wherever I go it is like this. The trust of a political figure can also be seen from the approval rating, it is the Italian people who do not trust Renzi. This broad field, but what does ‘broad field’ mean? Anyone who passes by? Until yesterday he voted with Meloni then he lost the elections and comes back. They also launched signatures against the citizen’s income, it is a political parable that does not work. Then we are in politics to fight profiteering. We are not in this rush to go to government, or at least we are in it to send Meloni home, but the alternative must be credible to be a winner. We are working with the PD and with Avs, we are not combing dolls”, concludes Conte.
