«We are waiting for the data to consolidate. I put my face on it. I said I’d put my face in it and I’m here. This is the moment of sowing for M5s, we are at the beginning of a new course ». And the ballots? “We don’t have a package of votes that we can move left and right. Surely we cannot have any suggestions on the forces of the right ».
It is a embittered Giuseppe Conte, the one who speaks at 6 pm. “In many situations we have arrived late. Our M5S refounding process was particularly laborious ». But the people’s advocate does not hide the defeat: «The new course has not been able to fully deploy all its possibilities. Even the steps that are not in line with our ambitions – admits Conte – cannot compromise this new course ».
“We must try to be more rooted and more competitive in the territories, and then prepare for the political elections”, concluded Conte, who now sees his path much more uphill than it seemed to him in the days of some rallies that had filled some squares to the south.
