"They wanted us

out of the game

but the result of the M5s is a

great success

that gives us back a great consensus to face this legislature without making discounts to anyone and to conduct our battles in an uncompromising way".

To make the summary, this afternoon at a press conference, is President

Giuseppe Conte

, claiming the

15.5%

of the preferences collected in yesterday's political elections, less than half of the result of 2018 but significantly higher than expected on the eve and to which sums "the victory in about

15 single-member constituencies

", underlines the former premier.

"We come from a troubled period with attacks by the media and political forces, with important

divisions

, nevertheless we have been rewarded by the citizens", he remarks.

For the legislature that is about to begin, the priority is one: "If the

citizenship income

is touched , the

opposition will be very hard and inflexible

. also the prospect of a provisional exercise ".

To Fratelli d'Italia Conte acknowledges having "obtained a clear victory", then wishing "best

wishes to Giorgia Meloni

for the role of responsibility that awaits her". However, a warning follows: "I invite the center-right, who obviously is a candidate to lead the country, to understand that when there is no real majority in the country, it is good

not to venture into constitutional reform projects

without real sharing with all forces, because the obvious risk is that of a sound rejection, like the one that Renzi took, to the referendum ". 

To

Enrico Letta

, who today pointed him out as responsible for the victory of the center-right, the leader of the Movement says: "When there is a defeat, as in the case of the Democratic Party, it is good that a leader

does not look for scapegoats

to whom bear responsibility ".

The dialogue with the Democratic Party, meanwhile, is suspended pending the congress: “With the Draghi Letta agenda, he sold a political project that was not there.

As we said in the election campaign

there will be no dialogue

.

It is not a personal matter or a management team, but an agenda: we must understand that the Democratic Party will come out of the internal confrontation that will take place.

At the end of that we will see if there are the conditions to re-establish the dialogue ”.

However, there are only a few months left until the next regional elections, which will involve Lombardy and especially

Lazio

, where democrats and Cinquestelle still sit in the same council.

To a question about it, Conte replies: "We come from a Sicilian experience in which we realized that there were no conditions to be with the Democratic Party. Every situation must be evaluated, case by case, and in Lazio we will

evaluate a possible alliance

. But I want to warn the leadership of the Democratic Party: it will not be easy to dialogue with us, our bar has risen ".
