M5S at the crossroads of funding between empty coffers and seat cuts

by admin

No sooner said than done. The latest totem of grillism – that is the opposition to public financing of parties seen as the origin of all the evils of politics – falls almost without a blow after eight years of massive entry into Parliament with 25% in 2013. Indeed, almost on the sly.

The word to the members

After the last joint assembly of the groups in which the treasurer Claudio Cominardi honestly admitted that the coffers are crying and that the use of 2 per thousand on a voluntary basis must be evaluated, already on Monday 29 or Tuesday 30 November the members will decide on the SkyVote online platform whether or not the M5s will have to register in the party register to obtain the new form of financing introduced between the protests of the M5s during the Letta government in the now distant 2013. In fact, few days are available if you want to use the tool already at upcoming tax return deadline: the deadlines for submitting registration expire on November 30th.

The resource node

The coffers are also crying because a hard core of parliamentarians still refuses to make the monthly contribution (the super laggards would be about twenty), but they will cry even more in perspective after the cut in the number of parliamentarians imposed by the M5s as a sine qua non during the negotiations with the Democratic Party for the start of Conte 2. Cut which, together with the reduction of almost a third of the vote pool (the latest Winpoll-Il Sole 24 Ore poll estimated a national 11% for the M5s), the financial audience from which he has drawn on in recent years has greatly increased. “The truth is that with the cut in the number of parliamentarians we committed suicide,” some leading members of the movement admit to closed notebooks.

One of the latest taboos is under discussion

Hence the haste and the substantial absence of debate, with the exception of the voices of some big names such as the former minister Danilo Toninelli and the president of the Senate Budget Committee Daniele Pesco (“it does not seem appropriate to use more public money than those that we already use “). But, of course, touching one of the latest taboos is not a joke for those who are a founding part of the movement such as the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio or the Speaker of the Chamber Roberto Fico, who not by chance keep away from the subject.

The difficult position of the Guarantor Grillo

The positive aspect for the president Giuseppe Conte is, paradoxically, the difficult position of the Guarantor Beppe Grillo – defender of the original banners – after the indictment of his son Ciro with the infamous accusation of gang rape. A position that presumably will keep him away from internal issues within the movement for a few weeks.
