New, hard face to face between Beppe Grillo and Giuseppe Conte in the 5Stelle war. «I have acted as I had to act: with my heart, with my soul and with my intelligence. I am not the father-master of the Movement “explains Grillo in a new video published on his blog and entitled” With the heart “. «I only asked for the guarantee of having the structure of the guarantor identical to the statute that exists now. I didn’t ask for anything else, ”he added. “Until the end I tried to get to the end,” he continued. “I am the father of the Movement: I have done extraordinary things, with those who are despising me today, whom I do not deny”.
Shortly after, Conte’s reply: «I worked for 4 months. I waited for Grillo in full transparency. The political project does not remain in the drawer due to the opposition of a single person ». “If I stay on the pitch? There is a lot of support from citizens ».
But let’s go back to Grillo: “Give me this chance, to be the visionary, the keeper of values, to be the keeper of political activity as well,” he adds in the video about the conversation with Giuseppe Conte on the refoundation of the Movement. Which means, he explains, “don’t enter your dynamic, that you are an extraordinary man, but let me see for a moment. It is I who speak of transition, who almost imposed it on the government, it is I who have spoken for twenty years about the circular economy and technologies. Leave me my thing, we do an extraordinary thing, but I didn’t feel anything on the other side and so I said there is something strange ».
Then the guarantor of the M52 reconstructs his version of events: «We met with Conte at the Forum and we gave him the task of redoing the M5S, it is right that there is a person who changes it. We were all gassed. After a while I say ‘take the Statute, see what’s wrong with you, what you don’t like, do you, call me, we’ll talk’. I haven’t heard from anyone since. Until the last we made a negotiation. When I came to Parliament I saw a somewhat scary environment. I did not feel the environment of the Movement which is an environment of irony, hugs and even affection. I felt a latent fear. I came down to make a few jokes and he might be offended, I don’t know. They are jokes and it is perhaps my misfortune, my side effects, but I came to tell you ‘three-four days and here we are. “The next day Conte made a stormy phone call to me saying:’ I will not answer you anymore ” ‘and I told him: ‘Answer my last exception, I give up this, that, the communication. He told me I will answer you in the press conference, and what happened has happened. “Conte, adds Grillo in the video,” it is not the most suitable person for what you need today “.
“I have always respected and will continue to respect Beppe Grillo,” replies the former prime minister. «Publicly, I only ask him not to tell falsehoods about me and my actions. I have always acted in transparency. I am ready to publish the e-mail exchange I had with Grillo if he authorizes me ».
