Grillo's Blunt Attack on Conte: "Tender Conte, the Deceased Knight Received More Votes Than You"

Beppe Grillo's Cutting Remarks at Fiesole Show

Founder of the Five Star Movement Mocks Conte's Leadership

In the wake of a meeting with Giuseppe Conte to discuss the two-term rule, Beppe Grillo has made his first public comments, taking aim at the M5s leader.

At his show "Io sono un altro" at the Roman Theater in Fiesole, Florence, Grillo launched into a series of barbs directed at Conte. The founder of the Five Star Movement opened his performance by sarcastically commenting on Conte's electoral performance compared to that of the late Silvio Berlusconi.

"Tender Conte, the deceased Knight received more votes than you," Grillo quipped, referring to Berlusconi's recent electoral success despite his advanced age and health issues.

Grillo's comments reflect the growing tensions within the Five Star Movement, with Grillo seen as a critic of Conte's leadership. It remains to be seen how these divisions will impact the party's future prospects.
