A letter in a sealed envelope sent to the Nazareno “for the attention of Elly Schlein” and to “copy information”, ironically, for “current 1, current 2, current 3, current 4…” of the Democratic Party. It was written by Beppe Grillo and the subject anticipates its content: “Reference letter for Giuseppe Conte’s candidacy”. The letter, seen by LaPresse, explains at the beginning the meaning of the initiative: “Dear Elly Schlein. I am writing this reference letter because I believe that Giuseppe Conte (kindly Oz) is the right person to lead the Democratic Party or, if favorites, one of its currents.” The founder of the 5 Star Movement, drawing on his taste for paradox, highlights that “Conte has already brought tangible results: he transferred millions of votes from the 5 Star Movement to the Democratic Party, significantly contributing to the strengthening of his electoral base”.
“Conte is a master at maintaining a perfect balance between different positions, avoiding taking a clear position without first consulting 3 polls and 5 commentators. This ability makes him an ideal leader for a party that wants to unite different electorates without running the risk of offending anyone. Conte has the extraordinary ability to transform each defeat into an opportunity for victimization, always remaining at the center of the political scene and embodying the role of moral reference, even in the face of disappointing results. party with care for citizens’ emotions”, writes Grillo, who a few days ago, while being filmed driving a hearse, spoke of a “dead” M5S.
And he continues to attack the former prime minister: “Conte has a unique talent for dialogue with himself. Throughout his career, he demonstrated the extraordinary ability to interpret with talent and mastery different and, in some cases, opposing positions: two terms yes, but also no, three terms perhaps, but why not four For him, each side is a house potential, as long as it is well equipped and in view of the many and endless mandates of the Democratic Party, its home”. Attached and “in support” to the letter, also “a graph that shows the concrete results it has already achieved for your party: millions of votes transferred from the 5 Star Movement to the Democratic Party. Conte’s sacrifice for you, I am sure he will bring his unique style, made of creative compromises, strategies and a touch of institutional theatricality. give your project the unpredictability it lacked.” , he adds the Guarantor with cordial greetings.
