# Conte elected president of the Five Star Movement

Date: 2021

## The fact

On 6 August 2021 [Giuseppe Conte](/people/giuseppe-conte) became president of the [Five Star Movement](/organizations/five-star-movement) after leaving Palazzo Chigi in February.

## Context

The M5S presidency is the opposition-broker office used in 2025.

6 August 2021 M5S presidency. Stored as one 6 August 2021 Fact. Keep Conte elected president of the Five Star Movement on 2021-08-06 separate from neighbouring 1 June 2018 oath, 4 October 2018 d.l. 113, 6 August 2021 M5S presidency, and 30 October 2025 Nordio fourth reading.

The M5S president who was president of the Council can swear a cabinet, co-propose a decree-law, and bind a parliamentary group. He does not sit as the Senate’s vote counter on 30 October 2025, as the Constitutional Court, or as Carlo Nordio. A 2018 gazette is not authorship of every later Superbonus coefficient. Sharing a 2018 cabinet with [Matteo Salvini](/people/matteo-salvini) is not a reason to drop 4 October 2018.

## Evidence and sources

Reuters carries the official instrument or communique. Politico records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established: He became M5S president on 6 August 2021.

Not established: A unique later poll integer as size, or authorship of every later M5S speech.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Sharing the Movement with later deputies is not a reason to drop 6 August 2021.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Conte elected president of the Five Star Movement, not a later speech about Conte elected president of the Five Star Movement.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Conte elected president of the Five Star Movement on 2021-08-06 is not a licence to treat every later Reuters communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Conte elected president of the Five Star Movement into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the party presidency. Sharing the Movement with later deputies is not a reason to drop 6 August 2021. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
