The Five Star Movement (M5S) is experiencing a significant decline in support, as recent elections in Liguria show the party falling below 5% of the vote.

This marks a stark contrast to its past successes, where it once garnered substantial support.

The internal conflict between founder Beppe Grillo and leader Giuseppe Conte is seen as a major factor in this downturn.

Grillo's decision not to vote and his public statements have added to the party's challenges.

Conte acknowledges the disappointing results and emphasizes the need to rebuild the movement.

The situation raises concerns about M5S's future role in Italian politics.
