"My journey in the M5S ends here. After 9 long, intense, important years, I decide to leave it".
This was announced on Facebook by Marcello De Vito, president of the Capitoline Assembly.
"The reason is that I no longer feel any sense of belonging. I can no longer tell people 'We of the 5 Star Movement ...'. And this is difficult for me to overcome, I would say impossible".
"This - writes De Vito on the Fb - is the result of the many" ideological somersaults "of the last two years. I refer to the" never with the PD "at the end of July 2019, then denied in the following month with the birth of the Giallorossi government; replacement of the political leader who resigned in January 2019 within the foreseen term of 30 days; to the "eternal regent" Vito Crimi who did not want to understand that his role had to be a role with a limited function in time (Demurtas docet); I am referring to the general states postponed indefinitely with Covid's motivation; to the dismantling of two totems, such as the ban on alliances and the constraint of two mandates, in 24 hours with an August vote without any real debate ".
"I am referring - he continues - to the battle between Conte and Casaleggio / Rousseau for" possession "of the data of the members, treated as objects, like real gold," my card "as Gollum divined in the well-known film; I am referring to the fact that by now what was the movement of bottom-up participation appears to be an instrument in the hands of a few, more sensitive to surveys and their personal destinies than to the implementation of the statutory principles. I refer to that ... "now we are in the progressive field" to which I answer : "good progressive camp to all of you".
"I am referring to the well known video of this self-styled" Elevated ".
There is a limit to everything. I thank the almost 7000 people who wrote my name on the card on June 4, 2016, giving me that mandate that I will honor until the end as I believe I have carried out up to now, with knowledge of the administrative machinery, of the territory, of its policy. Soon - he concludes - I will formalize my exit from the council group, as I did with the 5 Star Movement, voluntarily and not as a deportation. My political commitment continues. I look forward with strength, determination and confidence ".
