Di Maio towards the farewell to the M5S. Grillo intervenes on the clash with Conte

The split served. Luigi Di Maio the press conference with the announcement is ready for farewell at 9.15 pm. After the clash with the Contian wing of the 5 Star Movement on the resolution to be voted on in the Senate after Draghi’s intervention, the foreign minister is now close to abandoning the pentastellates. In fact, the collection of signatures among the deputies for the creation of autonomous groups in the Chamber and in the Senate is underway. For the birth of a new formation in Montecitorio, 20 deputies are sufficient, at Palazzo Madama 10: the former political leader would already be ready 60 parliamentarians. The names that circulate are those of Gianluca Vacca, Sergio Battelli, Alberto Manca, Caterina Licatini, Luigi Iovino, Vincenzo Case, Davide Serritella, Daniele Del Grosso, Paola Deiana e Filippo Gallinella. Even the deputy Elizabeth Bearded she would be caressing the idea of ​​leaving the Movement to follow Di Maio, who chose her as a candidate for the single-member constituency of Crotone.

In the Senate, however, the parliamentarians ready to leave would be 14, including Emiliano Fenu, Fabrizio Trentacoste, Antonella Campagna, Vincenzo Presutto, Primo Di Nicola e Simona Nocerino. And then various members of the government: the deputy minister of the economy Laura Castelli, the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs Manlio Di Stefanothe one for the South Dalila Nesci and that for Health Pierpaolo Sileri. And then the former minister Vincenzo Spadafora. Before the press conference, Luigi Di Maio went up to Colle for an interview with Mattarella. Meanwhile, 5Stelle sources deny the rumors about the Movement’s exit from the government.

Grillo’s post

In the meantime, he intervenes on the internal disagreements of the Movement Beppe Grillo. “Who does not believe in the rules, say it” he writes on his blog. Without ever specifically mentioning either Conte or Di Maio, Grillo seems to defend the president of the Movement: “The sunlight is the best disinfectant – writes the founder of the party – Light be, therefore, on our wounds, on the swamp and on the darkness. Does anyone no longer believe in the rules of the game? Let him say it with courage and without gimmicks. Lay down the weapons of mass distraction and speak honestly “.

A short but direct post. Written with the intention of restoring peace to the Movement and clarifying that either you accept the party’s rules, or you are out. Words, those of Grillo, which rather than placate the minds seem to want to accentuate the risk of a split by Di Maio’s farewell to the pentastellati.

The vote on the second term

Precisely because of the clash around the Movement, the vote on the second term could also be skipped. Initially announced by Conte by the end of June, the online consultation will likely postpone the date of convocation. The hypothesis, according to what pentastellate parliamentary sources report to the Agi, is to freeze the vote for the moment because at this stage that of the double mandate appears to be a topic that can be exploited. Grillo could be in Rome on Thursday, while tomorrow an assembly of parliamentarians is scheduled which promises to be on fire. Meanwhile, the leaders of the 5 Sstelle Movement are discussing the last steps of the negotiation on the majority resolution that will be voted on today.

Di Battista’s speech

The former frontman also intervened on the fracture within the 5 stars Alessandro Di Battista, long gone from the Movement but always attentive to its internal dynamics: “Of the new split of the 5 Star Movement (I remember that there was already one after the OK to the Draghi government) and the birth of the new group ‘Atlanticists and Europeanists’ o’ moderates and liberals’, I don’t care. I left the Movement solely for political reasons when the wicked (and suicidal) decision to join the government of the crowd was made “. And he adds: “What happens today is above all the result of those days. A movement born to govern with no one – he continues – has the right to evolve and govern with someone (obviously maintaining the majority in the council of ministers) to lead to home results. He has no right to rule with everyone to bring home comfortable armchairs. It is called ignoble betrayal. No sense of responsibility. ” Then he concludes: “Perhaps now, and only now, some activists of the Movement are understanding the reasons for my past choices (and also for what I said in the past). But, precisely, it is the past”.
