Who will command between Grillo and Conte in the 5 Star Movement?
This is how the compromises between Grillo and Conte were read and commented on by the newspapers
He, Giuseppe Conte, still fresh from sea bass and Vermentino consumed at the table with Beppe Grillo, in a video re-proposed himself in turned-up sleeves to celebrate the new statute of the 5 Star Movement, of 25 articles and 39 pages, evidently certain that it will be approved in the digital votes of 2 and 3 August held on the Sky vote platform. Which will quickly follow those for the substantial ratification of his nomination as president eventually swallowed by the founder and guarantor. Who, as a good Genoese, and comedian by profession, took revenge in his own way by making the professor and lawyer pay the bill for the reconciliation lunch in front of the sea of Bibbona.
They, the noisiest supporters of Conte, who produce Il Fatto Quotidiano every day, preferred to propose it, imagine it, depict it with a gun in hand in the fire duel with Mario Draghi. That he would have therefore unwisely ventured to invite him to Palazzo Chigi for the first meeting after the exchange of deliveries in February. According to the headline on the front page, Marco Travaglio and his friends predict the meeting of the “challenge”, well in competition with the “boycott” preferred by the Berlusconi newspaper and the “threat” shouted by the Truth .
Yet in the new statute, prepared by the committee of seven wise men appointed by Grillo to modify the "seventeenth-century" text of the drafts ultimately delivered by Grillo about twenty days ago, there is the good will to repudiate, at least within the Movement, "expressions aggressive ". Which should also be equivalent to images for those who prefer to communicate in this way, using cartoons and photomontages such as the one already mentioned by the friends of the Fact , or the cover of the Espresso . Where Conte and Grillo are "beaten and in government" against the background of a sardonic Draghi, evidently confident of being the third one who enjoys it.
That Grillo and Conte, despite the sea bass, the Vermentino, the dessert and anything else paid for, I repeat, by the former Prime Minister are destined to continue to clash – and not so much behind the scenes, given the irrepressibility of the outbursts of anger of the guarantor who remained for life in the new statute, while the president lasts four years it is not clear how many times at most, if two or more – many believe it. And not only the newspaper of Carlo De Benedetti – Domani – with the liquidation title on Conte who "is the leader" and Grillo who "commands". Other, therefore, than the "full powers" imagined by the former Prime Minister and generously attributed to him in prudent quotes by the Press .
Perched, at least in words, in defense of the reforms of his first government with a yellow-green majority, which are the expensive citizenship income – with all the fraudulent abuses that are discovered – and the prescription valid only up to the first degree of judgment, respectively compromised by initiatives under study or already taken by the current government, Conte must also count on the help of someone in the majority to prevail and not succumb, or not to carry out only testimony campaigns, with guaranteed abstention. On the other hand, they had tried to do the pentastellati in the Council of Ministers with the amendments of the Minister of Justice Marta Cartabia to the reform of the criminal trial, before Grillo intervened on the phone to put them practically in line. At least so far, apart from the usual Pier Luigi Bersani and companions from the shores of the "free and equal", it does not seem that Conte has received many signs of encouragement.
