Rita De Crescenzo candidate with the 5 Star Movement?

Rita De Crescenzo candidate with #M5S ? We at Cronache della Campania had said it even if just for fun! If it really happens it means that #Conte is desperate, but now she has to get serious!

Naples, April 5, 2025 – And in the end it happened: Rita De Crescenzo, the Neapolitan tiktoker who conquered the web with her “invasions” of the masses and her genuine accent, she seems to be really interested in entering the political field (with the 5 Star Movement?).

we at Chronicles of Campania we had anticipated it a few days ago, more for fun than anything else. It certainly didn't take a scientist to figure out the plan of Giuseppe Conte: the leader of the M5S, who is now at the end of his tether, has decided to enlist anyone with a few followers, just to get back to being the President of the Coun(ge)l. And who better than Rita, with her 1,8 million followers on TikTok, to try to fill the squares and polling stations?

Giuseppe Conte and Rita De Crescenzo as a last resort

Rita De Crescenzo confessed that she was seriously thinking about running for office during the demonstration.Stop the war” organized by the M5S in Rome, where the tiktoker marched in the front row with a banner, followed by thousands of Neapolitans who she mobilized with her social appeals. “I'm ready to run, I want to do something for my people!”, declared Rita, confirming the rumours of the last few days.

But behind her enthusiasm, there is Conte's desperate game: the Five Star Movement leader, who according to many observers is losing ground, needs new faces to attract attention and votes. And welcoming a character like Rita, who has a controversial past and an image light years away from traditional politics, is proof that the M5S is truly at the end of its tether. In other words: in order to return to Palazzo Chigi, Conte is willing to do anything, even to transform the Movement into a populist juggernaut.

From TikTok to Parliament: Rita Must Get Serious

Rita De Crescenzo, 45, a true Neapolitan, became famous for her viral videos and for the “invasion” of Roccaraso, when thousands of Neapolitans followed her to Abruzzo after her social appeal. Today, with her bright clothes and her “Put 'na fasc' 'n front and scinn in camp”, is ready to take the big leap. But Politics is not TikTok, and now Rita will have to prove she's up to the task.

It's easy to talk behind a screen, do live broadcasts and launch slogans, but governing is another thing. Italian political life is complicated, and a hit with 7 million views on YouTube is not enough to solve the country's problems. Rita, who in the past admitted that she never voted and that she doesn't know either the right or the left, will have to roll up her sleeves and study, as she herself declared: "I have to learn, I want to understand how this world works".

A wish to Rita: may she be better than many others

We can only wish you all the best. Rita De Crescenzo as for every citizen famous or not famous who tries to do something good for his country. Maybe, with his spontaneity and his connection with the people, he will prove to be better than many parliamentarians who have occupied the seats for years without doing anything.

His presence in politics could be an opportunity to realize how complex the Italian reality is, made up of problems that cannot be solved with a social live broadcast or a viral video.

Of course, the risk is that all this turns into a farce, with Conte who uses Rita only to collect votes and she who finds herself catapulted into a world that she doesn't understand. But if Rita will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to grow and do something concrete for Naples and Italy, then welcome. The road is uphill, but who knows: maybe this Neapolitan tiktoker will surprise us.
