ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Grillo’s followers had already called for not voting. The boycott attempt was already there, but the majority of the membership has shown that they believe what Grillo has always preached in the past, namely the value of democracy. It is paradoxical that he is going back on the rule of one is worth one, to affirm the rule that there is one who is worth more than all the others put together.” Thus M5S President Giuseppe Conte, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, in meruto to Beppe Grillo’s request to repeat the vote on the statutory changes. “We too could rely on legal quibbles and start litigation to challenge this arbitrary repetition of the vote, but I prefer to start immediately the necessary steps to recall our community to vote on the network and put the free expression of the democratic vote back to them,” Conte explains. Then, he adds, “There has never been the Conte-Grillo clash because I have never taken up his provocations. If anything, the clash is Grillo’s clash against his community. There have been repeated attempts by Grillo to prevent the community from expressing itself, and even now, in the face of such an unambiguous result that the community has decided since the formulation of the question, he is thwarting the free and democratic will expressed by our community.” According to Conte, “We are no longer Cricketers, but neither are we Contians. We are newly minted progressives. Our goal is to be close to people and listen to their anger and disappointment, turning them into participation and new political goals.” On who will be able to run for office after the elimination of the second-term limit, the M5S leader clarifies, “We will find a balanced solution based on the indications received from the members, in the knowledge that we have been asked to enhance skills and experience, but not to open to political careerism.”
