M5S chaos on the Quirinale, Conte: “I don’t feel disowned by the senators”

“I do not feel disavowed”, of names for the Qurinal “we have not yet started talking about it.” So replies the president of the 5-star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, intercepted by reporters after the meeting of the pentastellated senators expressed himself in favor of a new seven-year period by Sergio Mattarella. “We are not talking about the majority, the group leader also made it clear: how to approach the election of the Quirinale was under discussion and the name of Mattarella was also mentioned,” says the former prime minister. The vote for the Qurinal “we will talk about it next week in a joint meeting with the deputies and senators: so whoever has to speak will speak on that occasion. Now – he adds – advances on the names do not make much sense, it being understood in all this that President Mattarella enjoys the unanimous consideration not only of my person but of the entire 5-star Movement, but names are not mentioned at the moment “.
