Appendino and Patuanelli vice presidents of the Chamber and Senate- Corriere.it

Phase two begins. The Movement starts again one week after the Politics. And it does so with a triple step. First of all, the leaders will meet again “soon”. According to unconfirmed sources, the national council of the M5S should be convened by Monday, so that it can then meet the parliamentarians planning the future arrangements for the classroom roles. Based on indiscretions collected by theAdnkronos, in pole position for the role of starred vice president of Montecitorio would be Chiara Appendino (at Palazzo Madama we are talking about Minister Stefano Patuanelli), while a reconfirmation (also to give continuity) of the outgoing group leaders, Mariolina Castellone in the Senate and Francesco Silvestri is looming to the Chamber. Items all to be confirmed. But it will be precisely the summit meeting to establish any proposals for the new troop of deputies and senators.

Among the innovations concerning the internal organization, the hypothesis of various recruitments of former big names takes shape more and more – from Vito Crimi to Paola Taverna -, cut off from re-nomination due to the roof of the two mandates. There are three possible fronts for their use: the training school, a managerial role in the association that holds the ranks of the M5S, a communication role or as an official in the parliamentary groups. If from an organizational point of view the leaders are preparing to launch the new structures, from a political point of view they are preparing for the next electoral challenges. And, above all, to probe the evolution of the axis with the dem.

All ‘Adnkronos the leader of the 5 Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, about the rumors of possible hiring of former parliamentarians in the M5S he said: «The M5S has never been and never will become an employment office. It is not to be excluded that we will be able to make use of the formal collaboration of some figures whose contribution could prove useful for the continuation of our activity ». But the question is that “there is no provision for the recruitment of former parliamentarians” for the sole reason that “their elective office has expired with the second term”.

The Regionals in Lazio and Lombardy become a political hub. In Lazio, where the starred are in addition to the dem, an important part of the M5S is pressing to follow a common path despite the frictions at national level. “We are on stand-by at the moment: we need a comparison”, say the local starred. As for the Pirellone, however, the situation is different. “We are working for an alternative proposal to the center-right,” they say in the M5S, “we have an idea of ​​Lombardy that we would like and we are not willing to be crushed by anyone, we are not subordinate to anyone”.

The Democratic Party is not excluded from the dialogue, but the tones remain distant by a climate of understanding. It is very likely that Conte will face the Regional dossier as early as the next few weeks, keeping a watchful eye on what will happen at the top of the Democratic Party. “To understand if there is a progressive horizon again we must necessarily wait for the congress of the Democratic Party, see who will be the new secretary and what attitude he will have towards us”, the starred reiterate. The Regionals are far away, but even among the Five Stars the idea of ​​a trio takes shape: “Confirm the progressive area in Lazio, try to climb the Pirellone and win in Molise”. It is no coincidence that the dem regional secretary in Molise, Vittorino Facciolla, immediately after the Politics vote, threw the stone talking about “mending” with the Movement.
