'The vote on the government scheduled for 13.00 today is temporarily suspended.
The new voting start and end times will be announced later. "This is what M5S political leader Vito Crimi says in a post on the blog of the Stars.
Twist on the fate of the Draghi government. The clash between the Five Stars forces Grillo to postpone the vote of the members on Rousseau to avoid a split that could be fatal to the attempt of the former president of the ECB. "We are waiting to vote that Draghi has clear ideas, a little patience. I said no to the League and he replied. .. I don't know, let's see ... ',
says Grillo in the video in which he defines Draghi as' a grillino'
.
Salvini's reply arrives: 'Incredible Grillo.
We confirm our constructive, responsible, positive attitude that leads us not to talk about ministries and not to veto '.
Stop Grillo to vote Rousseau, "Draghi one of us"

THE VIDEO
- "I thought he was a banker of God but he is a grillino".
Late in the evening, expected as if it were a blessing by a good part of the M5S, the endorsement of Beppe Grillo to Mario Draghi and the halt to the vote of the members arrives.
The Guarantor of the M5S, after the decision to put on Rousseau the vote on the government led by the former governor of the ECB, is forced to return to Rome and, surprisingly, to participate again in the consultations with Draghi.
We need the founder's footprint on the Movement's yes to the new government to break the trench of the "contras", thick in the Senate and very thick among activists.
With the consequence that a no from the base to Draghi would lead to a sure split in the pentastellated groups.
The decision to trust members to vote triggers a fratricidal war in the Movement which, according to qualified parliamentary sources, triggers a very high tension between Grillo and Davide Casaleggio, although they deny any friction from the Rousseau Association.
And even the post with which the political leader announces, shortly after lunchtime, that the M5S will ask Draghi what the political perimeter of the majority is, ends up under attack by the pro-government wing of the Movement, the largest in the Chamber and, probably, also in the Senate.
"If the no on Rousseau wins, here we are doing the split in reverse", explains a big group in the Montecitorio in the afternoon, making it clear that the pro-Dragons may not respect the vote "of collective intelligence".
Grillo needs to return to the field.
And the former comedian does.
In a video he underlines at the base how Draghi said yes to citizenship income and to the environment as a pillar of the new government.
But to vote on Rousseau he asks to wait.
In short, we need another signal from the prime minister in charge, which avoids the split of the M5S.
And a signal could occur, according to an interpretation circulating in the Movement, when Draghi will speak at the Quirinale after the oath.
And, above all, after he has drawn up the list of ministers of the new government.
A government in which Grillo and the leaders of the M5S point straight to the issues of ecological transition.
Meanwhile, the campaign of parliamentarians for or against the government is rampant.
In the evening the "contras" can be seen via Zoom at the V-Day against Draghi, to let off steam and count, anticipated by the interview with Andrea Scanzi with whom Alessandro Di Battista, just while Grillo is in the Sala dei Busti with Draghi, reiterates his " no "to the professor and the government with FI and Lega, assuring that the battle within the Movement will continue.
The tension is very high.
Not even the mediation of the vote of abstention, proposed by Di Battista himself and by Barbara Lezzi, is an exit strategy.
Also because, the governist wing, in the Draghi executive, wants to join us.
And then there are the bridges, the mediators and the undecided who first want to be clear about the political nature of the government.
"Enough protagonism", warns Luigi Iovino.
"This internal electoral campaign is an unworthy spectacle", insisted Fabio Castaldo.
In the midst of this storm, in the afternoon, Beppe Grillo returns to Rome.
At the offices of the Chamber, this time, the former comedian becomes more leader and less showman.
He speaks especially to groups, in a meeting in which both Luigi Di Maio and Giuseppe Conte are missing.
From there he shoots the video with which he freezes the vote on Rousseau.
Asking for "patience" but, deliberately, without specifying the new date of the vote.
It is a way, implicitly, also to "let the" Debate "wing" boil down ".
With consequences at the moment shrouded in fog: but, according to the latest rumors, the vote on Rousseau could be called after Draghi dissolves his reserve and before he goes to parliament to ask for confidence.
When, in short, the M5S will be clearer how much of the pentastellato will enter the program and maybe even the government team.
