On the day that the triumph of the 5 Star platform is recorded for the implementation of direct democracy and in the hours in which the centrality of Beppe Grillo in the pentastellated cosmos is confirmed once again, the ghost of the split returns to appear with arrogance as direction of march of the Movement.

And it is no small thing, they are not the usual parliamentary skirmishes between governists and Orthodox, between dissidents and malpancists.

This time the fracture really rose to the top of the Movement, marking a split between Grillo and Casaleggio that had never been seen before.

And that only by dint of declarations aimed at throwing water on the fire, at the end of the day the leaders of the movement managed to quell.

But not enough to convince Alessandro Di Battista, who sadly announces his farewell.

A farewell herald of a definitive rupture between the leaders and the Orthodox also and above all in view of the vote of confidence in the Draghi government.

And to say that the founder of the Movement tried to keep everyone together until the end.

He personally dealt with the conditions for the participation of the Movement in the government of Prof, inserting many of the program conditions requested by Di Battista and his followers.

He complied with Casaleggio's requests and tried to mediate with the parliamentarians who for months have been asking for a decisive separation between the political force and its platform, managed by an association chaired by a private entrepreneur.

"The platform in use at the M5S" comes to call it, avoiding naming the word Rousseau, Dalila Nesci who first launched the war in Casaleggio.

But Casaleggio's declaration on the possibility of retesting a possible No of the members, also evaluating the possibility of abstention, was a signal that made the difference.

This is the position carried out by Di Battista and Barbara Lezzi who not only sided with the No but had launched the proposal of abstention as a way out to try to keep the Movement together.

It is no coincidence that Casaleggio's exit led to an immediate denial of the political leader, Vito Crimi: no other vote would have followed a possible No from the base.

It is enough for Di Battista and Casaleggio.

And also the distancing of the president of Rousseau on the way in which the highly contested question was formulated (13 parliamentarians have distanced themselves from it calling it "mystifying") tells the same rift: "it was he" he took care to specify Casaleggio Jr pointing his finger at the M5s political leader.

In the background there is in fact the very tough battle between the elected officials and the founder's son over the management of the platform.

Which, on the other hand, is taking up more and more space.

Not only do most of the posts published on the blog of the Stars now see almost only the signature of Rousseau, but it is precisely the platform that in recent weeks is working hard to reorganize the territories, federate activists, organize them in digital locations.

A capillary work that the M5s has long since left aside.

But that could be the key to the re-foundation of a movement inspired by Di Battista.

This split is also increasingly evident in Parliament: the patrol of "dissidents" from the government wing has now clearly come out into the open and is counting.

They look to Dibba, Barbara Lezzi, Danilo Toninelli, some announce without fear that they will vote No to trust in Draghi.

Indeed, there were those who, with the polls still open, prophesied a possible reverse split, that of the "governists" in the event of a victory of the No. Perhaps, of the fifty or so "dissidents" only a few will fail to vote for confidence, having declared that they want to respect the wishes of the members.

But Dibba's farewell to the Movement could change the cards again.
