The expected plebiscite has arrived:
Giuseppe Conte is the first president and the new leader of the M5S.
92.8% of the voters said yes and the voters were many: 67,064, more than those who, on 2 and 3 August, gave their approval to the new Statute. The summer break will allow Conte to take stock of the delicate sudoku puzzle of the M5S organization chart. Then, in September, the former premier will enter the field with a strong consensus that in the Movement is very high and with the aim of expanding the audience of its constituents. "Thank you very much, I am comforted, the very high quorum gives me great energy and responsibility", are the words of the former prime minister in a direct Fb. The announcement, as usual, comes from Vito Crimi.
Compared to the vote on the Statute, the short video of the former regent this time does not include the technical explanation of the notary on SkyVote. Crimi speaks from the new M5S headquarters. Behind him a group of chosen ones to give the sense of a beginning in the sign not of the man alone in command. Because this is the first danger that the former prime minister must avoid in order to ensure that an internal opposition that has so far rather tenuous does not take root. "I hope that by the end of the year we will have the most participatory and important government program that has ever been drawn up", underlines not by chance the new president announcing, in September, a tour throughout Italy that will coincide with the administrative campaign. "The goal - Stefano Buffagni and Paola Taverna explain in unison - is to return to being the first political force".It will not be easy. Conte returns to politics on the wave of the consensus gained with his two premieres but will have to deal with the grievances of the pentastellated Orthodox and with the unknown factor of Beppe Grillo who, despite the pact signed in Marina di Bibbona, remains silent as it happened on the vote for the new Statute. And to act as a "counterweight" to Conte should be the Guarantee Committee that Grillo proposes. And perhaps it is no coincidence that among the candidates there are Luigi Di Maio and Roberto Fico, considered the two "great sages" of the Movement.remains silent as happened on the vote for the new Statute.

"There was great participation, we are starting again stronger than before", exults Di Maio, whose relationship with Conte is still tied to a difficult balance, especially with respect to the attitude towards the Draghi government. "The new course is taking shape, a great job awaits us to do by involving our entire community in a synergistic way", is the warning from the Speaker of the House.
In his short message, Conte talks about a solid M5S project, which looks to the future but without forgetting the urgencies of time. "Politics is a noble, very noble commitment. Let's not leave it to those who use it as a means to make a career, to achieve personal economic interests or to achieve personal economic interests or that of their own group. We all work together, and seriously. Studying but also with the heart", explains the former premier, thanking the members. Starting from the end of August, his mission will be complex and ambitious: to enlarge the audience of the M5S to a progressive electorate and much more moderate than the beating heart of the old Movement.
