It was in the air. Rumors circulated, until the official confirmation came: “I’ll be there because Antonella deserves it and I can’t miss it in Puglia.” Alessandro Di Battista closes the electoral campaign in Bari on Friday night together with Laricchia, the Grillina candidate who rejected any kind of agreement with the outgoing president Michele Emiliano. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte himself had called for an alliance in the territory between the two ruling parties, exposing himself not a little. But nothing to do.
The Movement runs alone, aware that a victory is impossible, but at the same time it knows that it has the strength to weaken the Democratic Party, even though a part of the pentastellati, the so-called more governor, has said that they will vote for the Democratic candidate. And so, to give a blow to the government and a blow to Emiliano, the former combat deputy par excellence chooses Puglia to return to the stage, the only place where the 5Stelle can hurt the dem, and therefore the executive himself. After all, it is no mystery that Dibba and Davide Casaleggio have never looked favorably on Conte’s second government.
The stakes are high in this region, considered by many to be the Italian Ohio of these regional elections. There is not only the balance of the government, but also those of the Movement. And in fact the grillini are already preparing for the next day, the day after the electoral result that will then lead to the Estates General. “In a month they will be done, we will have to see how,” said those who fear that everything will be reduced to an online vote. Luigi Di Maio really hits the gas for the first time and, during the electoral campaign in his Campania, explained that “after the elections, the M5s must summon the States General and work in a leadership. Leadership does not necessarily mean leader but it is also a collegiate body, we will decide this later ”. It is for this second option that the former political leader leans: to an expanded secretariat and to return to the field. At the end of the day, as some parliamentarians point out: “A lot is being spent on this electoral campaign and on putting a face on it, especially in the referendum.”
In the meantime, however, the discontent within the 5-Star Movement in front of Rousseau and in the management of the platform where the pentastellati carry out their consultations and their votes does not stop. Two days after the letter with which Davide Casaleggio ‘pointed the finger’ at the defaulting parliamentarians, announcing that, if they continue on this path, Rousseau will be forced to gradually reduce several services, today three deputies have decided to self-suspend . A gesture, indicated as extreme ratio, in the face of political requests to which no responses have been received in recent months and that, ‘icing on the cake’, culminated in the email from Casaleggio stigmatized by Fabio Berardini, Carlo Ugo de Girolamo and Paolo Romano. “The fact that a few days before the elections Casaleggio launched a public attack on the 5-Star Movement in the press,” is la j’accuse, “is a shame and we find it difficult to understand what political game could be behind such a clear position “. . Then three proposals “hitherto unheard of and the result of numerous discussions with colleagues and activists are pointed out: the Rousseau platform should be managed directly by the 5-Star Movement through a democratically elected body that is transparent at all costs; The 5 Star Movement must have a clear, democratic and effective organizational structure, overcoming the failure model of the facilitators ”.
To return mail, comes the response of the Rousseau association. The management of the platform by the Movement is “already a reality”, they respond, in fact, from Rousseau and catalog the 5 stars ‘chain of command’, not without neglecting the fact that the contribution of 300 euros, established as a commitment that is honored ‘, lately has not been paid by the three. “But who authorizes the Rousseau association to publish on the Movement website and send emails to Movement members with Movement accounts?” Fabio Berardini responds. Next week there will be a joint assembly of deputies and senators with the relationship between the M5 and the Rousseau association on the agenda. This is where we will see, in light of the electoral results, whether the winds of division will blow strongly or if they will abate.
