Because Conte will no longer be a reserve of the Republic
Here are the real effects of Conte's choice to make the number one of the 5-star Movement after the “blessing” of Beppe Grillo. The comment of the analyst Francesco Galietti, founder of Policy Sonar
The double, parallel showdown at the top of M5s and Pd is nothing but the inevitable end of the yellow-red season, and the insistent and unsuccessful attempt to transfer the residual Grillino consensus into the center-left blood.
Nicola Zingaretti is now being accused by those who, in the Democratic Party, blame the sharp downgrading of the Democratic Party from a party-system, guarantor of numerous equilibriums, to a party under tutelage precisely to the yellow-red season.
The redde rationem of the Democrats is counterbalanced by the furious crisis of the grillini, with the sudden choice of Beppe Grillo to hand over the scepter of command to Giuseppe Conte.
The move mortifies the structures of the Movement, since a 'foreign pope' is chosen, and paves the way for a season of internal rivalries.
It is not difficult to imagine that Di Maio will experience Conte's advent with great annoyance. But Di Maio may not be the only one to experience this type of sensation.
Giuseppe Conte, who until now had surfed on the heads of his majority without ever getting his hands dirty with the harsh life of the secretariats, will have to try his hand in a completely new role for him. By doing so, he can no longer be a Cincinnato returning to his own little field waiting for the homeland to call him back in the darkest hour.
That of Conte, perhaps unwittingly, is therefore a renunciation of the role of reserve of the Republic. No breaks for him, no restorative rest.
For the moment, Conte intends to remain seamless on the political scene and give breath to the rhetoric of the leader invictus, never disheartened by Parliament.
However, the decision to drive the M5s comes after rumors had been circulating for weeks about the candidacy of the same Count with the Pd shirt for the supplementary chamber of the Chamber in Siena, with not a few resistance among the dems.
It is quite clear that Conte does not have better cards to play: for him, the M5s is a fallback. In addition, it could be a rather tiring fallback.
The party secretariat does not look easy at all, internal rivalries are not lacking and the cracks are really very deep.
Not surprisingly, according to a survey by Noto for Rai Porta a Porta , almost two out of three Italians take for granted a split between the grillini.
In which case, Conte could find himself acting as liquidator rather than head of party.
