M5 refunds, 3 deputies in arrears are suspended and Casaleggio attack. That answers: “The acquired commitments must be fulfilled”

Three M5 deputies in arrears, or not complying with the restitution of half their salary, have autosospesi of 5 star movement. Fabio Berardini, Carlo Ugo de Girolamo and Paolo Romano communicated their decision with a joint note and in doing so they accused Davide casaleggio of “a shameful attack” and above all that “it has the power in the Movement” until the platform is “managed by the Movement itself”. The decision was made by the three after the president of the Rousseau association announced two days ago that the association will no longer be able to provide all services due to arrears of some parliamentarians. Among these, Berardini and De Girolamo, who do not return (as required by the M5 regulation) from December 2019, and Romano (defaulting on august 2019).

Shortly after the announcement of the three parliamentarians, the Rousseau association (chaired by Casaleggio herself), responded to the accusations with a lengthy article on Blog of the Stars in which he reiterates how Rousseau is already at the service of “Political provisions of the Movement“.” What the request formulated is already a reality “, is the answer. And at the end of the post we remember the delays of the three parliamentarians who for more than six months have not cut their salaries and they don’t pay 300 euros per month due to the Rousseau association. “It has been months,” continues the Blog of the stars, “which we read on the stampto news related to Casaleggio Associati improperly and instrumentally. Therefore, we want to clarify. Parliamentarians of the 5 Star Movement they do not and have never paid any contributions to Casaleggio Associati. Those elected pay a contribution to the Rousseau Association. We’ve done this several times and reported the bug to editors, but apparently many still don’t understand the difference. Casaleggio Associati is a company that deals with network strategy and not politics ”.

However, Casaleggio’s movement in recent days, within the Movement, has been interpreted as a true declaration of war because it came after the requests of more and more insistent among the elected remove Rousseau management to the son of Gianroberto Casaleggio. Just the same yesterday Beppe Grillo he intervened to lower his tone. During a press conference in Parliament, the founder of the Movement declared: “Rousseau is our technology and we must thank Casaleggio’s father and son.” The guarantor’s words, however, were not enough for the moment to calm internal tensions. Many expect the confrontation of General states to finally be able to address some crucial issues for the future of the Movement, but the constant postponements and the temptation of leaders to replace the assembly with an online vote for the new political leader only make the situation worse.

So as the M5 tries to focus its energies on the referendum campaign to cut off MPs, there is no shortage of discontent behind the scenes. “It is shameful that a few days before the elections, Casaleggio launched a public attack on the 5-Star Movement in the press,” wrote the three self-suspended notes in the note ” We struggle to understand what political game may be behind such a clear position, in a clear and well-defined situation ”. According to the deputies, “managing the Rousseau platform means managing power within the 5 Star Movement”: “It means managing not just the fundamental votes (including the one carried out in August in which 28% of eligible voters voted) but also managing (or possessing?) the sensitive data of all M5 members, communications, candidacies, lists, votes: a tool that becomes It is a double-edged sword when, unilaterally, you decide to adopt this type of attitude. A sprain, a serious abnormality, denounced for months and unfortunately never addressed until now (without taking into account the appeal launched in recent days by more than 30 parliamentarians of the Words warrior group) ”, Insist the three deputies, for whom“ the time has come to clarify once and for all these relationships ”. The reference is to the letter of 24 M5 deputies who recognize themselves in the guerriere Parole group addressed on September 8 to Vito Crimi to request an open discussion on the future of the Movement. These proposals, the three conclude, “so far have not been heard.”
