“It is a politically delicate moment and precisely because it is delicate we need to speak very little and work to find a common solution”. Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio spoke on the risk split of the Five Star Movement showing a cautious optimism: “It is not easy, but we will find a common solution to restart this project, which has existed for ten years and has given 3 governments to this country and has accompanied Italy in a process of transition and change beyond of the tragic pandemic ».
Among other things, Di Maio met Beppe Grillo at dinner with Roberto Fico to seek mediation with former premier Giuseppe Conte. Immediately after the dinner in Marina di Bibbona, Grillo would have published the post on Facebook with which he suspended the vote of the board and charged a committee of seven, including Di Maio and Fico themselves, with mediation on the statute, charter of values, code ethical.
The times for mediation, however, are tight. According to when it leaks, the sages would have given the founder of the Movement three days to reach an understanding. Certainly, the new attempt at mediation was well received by Conte who reiterated that he had always worked to find a synthesis and to avoid internal splits and splits in the Movement. The former premier, however, reiterated firmness on the points indicated in his statute.
In the meantime, Di Maio was in Sorrento to conclude the work of the conference entitled “Transport, logistics, sustainability – Green and blue economy for the restart”. On the occasion, he spoke about the prospect of this government: reaches the end of its term or falls on the road to the Quirinale? «I hope that the legislature can be completed. We got the money now we have to spend it on reforms. If Italy makes commitments and then proves unstable, it is not the politicians but the citizens who pay. We need responsibility, we must be credible. If we change another government, if there is another crisis, they will tell us “it is the usual Italy, unstable and unreliable and we were wrong to trust”. At the moment, however, we are credible ».
The foreign minister also said that “a personality like Draghi it can certainly work to fill a leadership vacuum “in Europe after German Chancellor Angela Merkel has finished her political mandate.
