«Conte has no political vision or managerial skills. He has no experience of organizations, no capacity for innovation ». The 5 Star universe was waiting for an answer: simply indispensable to understand one’s future. And Grillo’s answer arrived on his blog. Strong. A real torpedo to the former premier.
“I feel like this,” writes Grillo. “As if I were surrounded by drug addicts who ask me for the pill that will make everyone believe that the problems are gone and that gives the illusion, at least for a few months, maybe not more, that you are more powerful than you are. actually you really are, thinking that Conte is the right person for it. Conte can create the collective (and momentary) illusion of having solved the electoral problem “, continues Grillo,” but the electoral consensus is not our real problem. Consent is only the effect of true causes, the image that is projected on the mirror. Conte has neither political vision nor managerial skills ».
Then the announcement: «I indicate the online consultation of the members of the 5 Star Movement for the election of the Steering Committee, which will be held on the Rousseau Platform. I will then ask the newly elected Steering Committee to draw up an action plan between now and 2023. Something concrete, indicating objectives, resources, times, ways of real participation and, above all, agreeing on a long-term vision for 2050 ». “This is what citizens, members and voters await. A clear vision of where we want to go and how. The why, the what and the how. It has always been our strength: to allow everyone to know what the journey will be and to welcome those who are ready for a long walk. Lift up your hearts! “
Grillo’s response comes after the words of Giuseppe Conte in yesterday’s press conference. “Decide whether to be a generous father or a bossy father, I am not a figurehead for a leader in the shadows,” said the former prime minister, asking for a vote to decide his future. But above all by asking him, Beppe Grillo, to step aside. In order to have the right political breath to lead a Movement in crisis, “which needs new projects”.
“We cannot allow a movement created to spread direct and participatory democracy to transform itself into a one-person party governed by a seventeenth-century statute”, is Grillo’s conclusion.
