Grillo adamant on the double mandate: "The zombies have infected us, but in the end we will win"

The Cinquestelle Movement continues to lose pieces as it passes the Grillo line on both mandates .

The last to leave is the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Federico D'Incà, for "irremediable differences between my path and that taken in the last few weeks by the 5 Star Movement". The former head of the M5s group in the Chamber also leaves, Davide Crippa - "a very suffered and thoughtful gesture for a long time" - who registered the symbol of a new political-cultural association and on Monday will hold a press conference with Federico D'Incà and Alessandra Carbonaro.

Yesterday the official decision not to admit any derogation to the limit of the two mandates : there will be no more big candidates of the party such as the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico, the former Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede, the deputy vice president of the Movement Paola Taverna and the former political leader Vito Crimi.

"To be involved in politics, you don't necessarily need an armchair", explained Giuseppe Conte, who worked for weeks trying to understand if there were margins for some exceptions.

But the founder Beppe Grillo has always been adamant on this front and today he talks about it in a post on his blog : "We knew from the beginning that we had to fight against zombies who would do anything to defeat us or, even worse, infect us. And so it was: some of us have fallen, many have been infected. But we are still here, and in the end we will win, because we have the strength of our precariousness: we are here to fight, not to stay, and this diversity of ours is unsettling for the zombies ".

Among those with only one legislature behind them, there are at least a dozen parliamentarians in the odor of re-nomination, with the aim of winning one of the estimated 30-40 seats for the M5s after the elections on 25 September. Among these, the deputy minister al Mise, the Nuorese Alessandra Todde , and the minister Stefano Patuanelli. But also the group leader in the Senate Mariolina Castellone and the Sassari senator Ettore Licheri .

Among the potential new entries in Parliament Chiara Appendino , former mayor of Turin, save for the "zero mandate" as a municipal councilor. There are still no contacts with Alessandro Di Battista , but many in the Movement are calling for his return.
