Giuseppe Conte has often reiterated that a ‘no’ to sending arms to Ukraine would be a non-negotiable condition for the M5S in any government programme. On Monday, responding to a question from editor Claudio Cerasa on the programme In Onda on La7, Conte showed great caution on this point.
“Will he ever include the M5S symbol in a government programme that may involve sending weapons to Ukraine for as long as necessary?” asked Cerasa. “We’ll see. I’ll answer that question with the agreed programme and the primaries,” replied the former prime minister.
