What is happening

Grillo said he had been excluded from the M5S but had no regrets, describing the movement today as “another thing” and saying that its original spirit no longer exists. He said he could still offer ideas on the environment, religion and the economy, but not organize a new party. He also commented on General Roberto Vannacci, comparing him to a decalcomania, and discussed his past exchanges with Mario Draghi.

Why is it on the Radar?

Grillo’s statements address his role in relation to the M5S and reject the idea that he could currently create and organize a new party. He also proposed that the movement led by Conte should use a different symbol, while describing the original M5S as a past experience.
