The Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) held a significant assembly in Rome, marked by internal dissent and strategic discussions.

The event, dubbed 'Nova,' aimed to rejuvenate the party and set a new course for its future.

However, it was disrupted by protests from a faction demanding transparency and honesty, echoing the party's foundational values.

Giuseppe Conte, the party leader, addressed the dissent, emphasizing the importance of democratic participation and the contradiction of opposing the voting process.

Despite the tensions, the assembly achieved its quorum, signaling a victory for those committed to shaping the party's direction.

The event also explored potential alliances, notably with leftist populist leader Sahra Wagenknecht, as M5S seeks to redefine its progressive identity.
