When the Five Star Movement was right-wing. Homemade Count “Che Guevara”.

When the Five Star Movement was right-wing. A complaint will be presented to the Prosecutor's Office for the Roman greetings of Acca Larentia

Let's start, as usual, with the news. The Five Star Movement will present a complaint to the Prosecutor's Office on Roman greetings during the commemoration of the multiple murder in Via Acca Larentiain Rome. The signatory is Sergio Costa, the former Minister of the Environment which did not leave a particular ecological memory in that department, on the contrary it received a lot of criticism.

The Five Stars are a populist, or rather Peronist, party. That is, fundamentally conservative who however continually oscillate between the two poles depending on what suits them best at that moment, fully wallowing in situationism.

And the perfect leader for this type of game is Giuseppe Conte, who defined himself as the “People's Lawyer”. A character who came from nowhere, perfectly unknown before Luigi Di Maio performed the miracle of making him Prime Minister in the first yellow-green government, the one with the League and called yellow-green.

For the record, Costa himself was also a minister in that right-wing government.

Then Conte, like a true Zelig, disguised himself as a man of the rightconservative despite having voted for the Democratic Party, as Matteo Renzi sarcastically pointed out. That Conte is in a certain sense an exceptional political and social phenomenon this is demonstrated precisely by the fact that in reality he has nothing of the populist leader. He is calm, calm, thoughtful, the exact opposite of the natural leader Beppe Grillo, to whom the party has also descended but is gifted with sudden accelerations “in all directions”.

Then Conte recycled himself into a man of the left with the so-called yellow-red government and finally supported the once hated Mario Draghi until he decided to drop it to take advantage of the right moment, opening up, among other things, the victory of the centre-right.

So let's calmly say that he spent the entire constitutional period.

But the Five Star Movement, beyond Conte, has always been a right-wing, conservative movement. Grillo has often played at being the conductor like when he swam across the Strait of Messina, somewhat reminiscent of Benito Mussolini – a swimmer as depicted in the Luce documentaries – only much more embittered. The same goes from an ideological point of view to Italia dei Valori by Antonio Di Pietro initially attended by Pino Rauti and his daughter Isabella, now a senator for FdI.

Therefore, the Five Star Movement does not seem particularly suited to providing certificates of democracylet's say so, indeed several “nostalgics” have passed through its ranks, including parliamentarians.

Giuseppe Conte first “People's Lawyer” then home-made “Che Guevara”.

However, Conte, at the moment, is in “left-wing mode” and so tries to accredit himself, for the umpteenth time, as the champion of the most intransigent Marxism, a sort of “Che Guevara de noantri”. He does it because he smells European elections which will in fact take place next June. Time is short, the desire to grab votes is great. And this is why the Five Star Movement is now perceived to be much more to the left (it doesn't take much) than the Italian armochromist party, the Pai and the game will start again after the European elections, perhaps this time on the other political side.
