Grillo in Rome on the eve of the M5s Constituent Assembly

Beppe GrilloAgi learns, would have arrived in Rome, on the eve of the Constituent Assembly which Giuseppe Conte he strongly wanted it as a ‘refoundation from below’ phase of the 5 Star Movement. The Guarantor and co-founder of the Movement, however, would be, at least at the moment, oriented not to participate in the ‘two days’ of ‘Nova’, the meeting with the members to decide whether to change the line – from the ceiling of two mandates for those elected to powers that now belong to Grillo himself, until the placement of the ‘non-party’ – set for Saturday and Sunday at the Palazzo dei Congressi where the outcome of participation and choices that will condition the future of the Movement will be known “live”.

A capital that promises to be ‘crowded’, from a political point of view, since on Tuesday 26th, shortly thereafter, there will also be Davide Casaleggio, son of the other M5s co-founderfor the presentation of his book, ‘The algorithms of power’ (at 6.30 pm at the Vis Factor headquarters, in via della Scrofa). Today, meanwhile, the Movement’s line is that if Grillo presented himself at the Constituent Assembly he would certainly not be denied the microphone. Giuseppe Conte himself said it: “If Grillo comes to the Constituent Assembly he is the Guarantor, it is obvious that he can participate. And God forbid”. But there was no shortage of thrusts: “It is unthinkable that, today that we are carrying out this experiment in direct democracy, with the Constituent Assembly, the Guarantor opposes this path, which is even overwhelmingly democratic”, said the M5s president again who, defined by Grillo “the wizard of Oz” relaunches on that last of the Japanese posted by Grillo himself, with one of those ‘unsaid’ which he often relies on: “With a joke I said that the impression is that he is the last Japanese who remains convinced and is opposed to an entire community of members who are currently voting on questions decided by them for the first time.”

Instead, it would be better if “he had spent the time to come with us into the trenches when we have to vote, to try to roll up our sleeves with many activists who are committed in the area, often even with less than brilliant results, because in many areas we have a lot to work on We are always acting with great coherence and the heart and passion of many members today have the opportunity to vote for the future of the Movement.” “Tell me, who is the Japanese who remains isolated?”, is the rhetorical question of the former Prime Minister.
