M5S, Grillo gives Conte the sack. Split in sight?

Beppe Grillo has downloaded Giuseppe Conte. With a post on his blog, the founder of the 5 Star Movement closed the game on the leadership of the pentastellati: "He has no political vision or managerial skills". With these words Cricket gave Giuseppe Conte the sack, precisely he who had indicated him as the right man in the right place, the charming prince capable of renewing and relaunching an M5S that is increasingly in crisis and, by now, ever closer to the split. If Conte had somehow extended his hand inviting Grillo, in the press conference last Monday, inviting him to be a "generous father", Grillo chose the second option without any ifs or buts, that of "being a father and boss", replies the former prime minister. «It is proof that the current statute needed a decisive leap in quality in terms of internal democracy. For four months I worked on a serious and credible political project», was the outburst of the former prime minister.

At the same time, and paradoxically, Grillo announced a vote, for the election of the new Directorate of the Movement, on the Rousseau platform, that platform from which a large part of the movement – ​​the wing we count – had dissociated itself, considering it not very transparent and very expensive, to the point of being delivered after a long push and pull, the list of members that had remained mysterious until then.

And now what can happen? The wing of the M5S loyal to Conte lets it be known that "thus the movement is dead". Which heralds a split into at least two pieces of what remains of the movement. Giuseppe Conte has made it clear that he will not go back to being a professor at the University of Florence, he wants to stay in politics. But could the disintegration of the M5S and to what extent have side effects on the Draghi government? Unlikely, public opinion still grillina would not understand it, especially at this stage. The only certainty, at this point, is that chaos reigns supreme in the pentastellata galaxy.
