January 09, 2020 "The designation of those responsible for managing the Blog and social profiles of the 5 Star Movement will be the responsibility of the collegial body designated for the conduct of the Movement which will also verify its proper functioning", reads a document signed by several M5S senators on the initiative of Primo Di Nicola, Emanuele Dessì, Mattia Crucioli.

In fact, one of the main topics addressed in the document presented by M5S senators aims to review the management of the mechanism for participation in the Movement. "The digital platform that we all contribute to maintaining is perceived as an external reality, a foreign body to the Movement itself, both within our political force and externally", is what we read in the document, presented at the assembly at Palazzo Madama by a group of senators, entitled 'Manifesto for the improvement of the M5S'.

"The management of sensitive data - reports the agency Adnkronos - the construction of the events, the indication of the questions, the way in which they arise and many other aspects such as those connected to the same selection of the representative bodies (internal and spokesperson) must be placed under the control of the M5S and carried out with a democratic method ". In practice, Ansa underlines, it is asked that the Rousseau platform be managed by the movement, creating a sort of guarantee committee, and that there are no overlaps between government offices and organizational roles.

More reformism
Another crucial issue, according to what is learned from the document of proposals put forward by the senators of the Movement and intended as a basis for discussion, is the request that the political positioning of the movement be better defined, so that it is closer to the reformist front. Then, in addition to the internal question of simplifying the reimbursement reporting system, the document proposes to review the relationship between parliamentary groups and the government for better management of the emergency decrees.

No stop to guarantor and political leader
A note from the group's press office in the Senate specifies that "the document illustrated by some senators of the 5-star movement during today's assembly" does not provide for any "stop to the role of the guarantor of the movement" or to the figure of the political leader. In this document, the proposal was made to create "a democratically elected collegial body". As a premise of the document, it is stated that the content expressed in it "cannot in any way feed tensions in the majority and in the government to which we belong and to which we renew our complete trust and support".
