RADARPOLITICO ANALYSIS
What is happening
Grillo said he could offer ideas on the environment, religion and the economy, but not create a new party. He described the current M5S as different from the movement’s earlier spirit and said he does not foresee its rebirth in its previous form. He also commented on Roberto Vannacci, comparing him to a decalcomania, and spoke positively of former Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s intelligence and their use of irony in messages.
Why it is on the Radar
Grillo’s remarks address his role in relation to a possible new party and the identity and symbolism of the M5S under Giuseppe Conte. The sources report his statements and do not indicate that he announced the creation of a new party.
