It will probably not be in the name of a long line or even a lob from outside the box. But this hot Sunday in July, all sporting, with an eye on the Wimbledon final of the Roman tennis player Berrettini and the Wembley final of the Italian national team at Euro 2020, could record another challenge, this time of a political nature, and with some sliding intervention. too much. A game probably less expected by the Italians but with repercussions that, in terms of new balances, starting with those all within the majority, may not be negligible.
The final clash between Contiani and Grillini in the assembly of the M5s groups
On the afternoon of today, 11 July, in fact, just as the Italian tennis player will try to get the better of the world number one Novak Djokovic on the central court of the All England Club, the joint assembly will open, convened in an extraordinary Zoom, of the pentastellated groups of the Chamber and Senate. The hours preceding the meeting photograph an increasingly divided M5s, with the governors – starting with those who sit as minister in the Draghi executive – following the line of support for the executive indicated by the Guarantor Beppe Grillo. Lined up on a diametrically opposed front, the “Contiani”, strongly critical of political choices, starting with the yes to the Cartabia justice reform, considered too little in line with the historical battles of the Movement. The assembly, therefore, could be the occasion for a definitive “redde rationem”. The meeting will be attended by the four ministers of the Movement: they are the main defendants of an agreement on justice which, among the Five Stars, continues to be disliked.

Conte behind the protest against the justice reform
And the stone guest will be Giuseppe Conte. It is he, in these hours, who moves the ranks of the many who have lashed out against the agreement on the Cartabia text and the reform of the criminal trial (prescription included). A text that, however the meeting goes, will hardly be voted on by all the parliamentarians of the Movement.The new internal crisis on justice, after the one that arose after the government’s decision to suspend the Cashback program launched by the previous executive, puts in the spotlight the pressing of those who aim, as soon as possible, at the leadership of Conte. And it galvanizes those in the Movement who think that a diarchy between the former premier and Beppe Grillo is not concretely possible.
Arm wrestling open to any result
A splitting of the groups would halve the strength of the Movement, and it is an element that certainly does not escape those who are mediating in these hours. But after weeks of lacerations, fratricidal attacks and uncertainties, the game is open to any result. A bit like the London ones. In the meantime, the seven wise men nominated by Grillo (Di Maio, Fico, the group leaders Licheri and Crippa and in Europe Beghin, Patuanelli and Crimi), engaged in a negotiation that has now lasted for nine days, are trying to find the square on the new Statute.
