Beppe Grillo criticizes Movimento 5 Stelle leadership and hints at new party

Beppe Grillo, the founder of the Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S), has launched a sharp critique of the party's current leadership and direction during an interview on Fedez's Pulp podcast. Grillo accused the movement of suffering from an ideological paralysis and described the current management as being controlled by a “reverend” who operates through technicalities and bureaucracy, specifically targeting leader Giuseppe Conte.

Grillo warned that the political situation is heading toward “extraordinary chaos.” The tension is further evidenced by an ongoing legal dispute regarding the ownership of the M5S name and symbol, with a court hearing scheduled for January.

Speculation regarding a new political project has emerged, with reports suggesting Grillo may launch a new party using the original M5S name and symbol, potentially built on modern technology and artificial intelligence. While some figures like Elon Musk's representative have reportedly shown interest in the project, others remain distanced. Meanwhile, the domain name ‘Movimento zero stelle’ has already been purchased by a private professional in Aosta as a speculative investment.
