The Speaker of the Chamber: «The perspective is not Conte-Di Maio but M5S-Di Maio. The internal frictions are there, but the draft circulated is not referable to the Movement. Us against NATO is nonsense. We are loyal to the Atlantic Alliance and Europe ». The foreign minister’s reply: “Amazed and tired of attacks even by those in institutional positions”. The note from the National Council
“There is not no Conte-Di Maio, you are having the wrong perspective. The only thing there is, at most, Movimento-Di Maio, because attacking the M5S on positions that are not in question displeases our entire community ». So Roberto Fico, president of the Chamber, big of the Five Stars, responding to journalists in Naples. After yesterday’s agitated river meeting, and the second during the morning of the M5S National Council, dedicated above all to the Euro-Atlantic location of Italy and to the doubts raised in recent days by the Foreign Minister, with the hypothesis of Di Maio’s expulsion from the Movement, Fico pointed out: “It’s true that there are frictions within the M5S, but I just can’t understand how Foreign Minister Di Maio attacks on positions with respect to NATO and Europe, positions that are absolutely absent in the M5S and which are not being debated. We are a bit disappointed by this attitude, there is no attack on Luigi Di Maio ».

Fico’s words were followed by those of Di Maio’s spokesperson: «We are amazed and tired for the attacks that various M5S exponents, also holders of important institutional offices, today addressed to Minister Di Maio, who is currently engaged in representing Italy at the important European table of the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg, where the war in Ukraine is being discussed. Minister Di Maio it will not reply to any of the attacks that he is receiving in these hours. There is a limit to everything, nevertheless we cannot weaken the Italian government in front of the world that is watching us, in such a delicate phase ».

Subsequently, at the end of the second meeting, the National Council then issued a note formalizing the M5S request regarding further arms shipments to Ukraine. “A fuller and more constant involvement of the Parliament is called for with regard to the political guidelines that will be pursued by the Italian government in the most relevant European and international fora “, it was written,” including the possible decision to send new military supplies bilaterally, functional to strengthen the mandate of the Prime Minister in such fora “. Furthermore, harsh words were expressed about Di Maio: “Externations that distort the clear positions taken in May and today fully reiterated, always unanimously … untrue and disrespectful words of the foreign policy line assumed by the Movement, susceptible to bring serious discredit on the entire political community of the M5S, without any foundation “.

The confrontation between Fico and Di Maio, meanwhile, continued to be discussed. The Speaker of the Chamber, in fact, had previously also said: “I am not aware of what Luigi does outside the Movement,
if something is being built we will see it only by living ». Expulsion in sight? “I don’t want to talk about this. I am just wondering why you have to attack the M5S and put it in fibrillation on things that are not in question. Why do you attack on things that do not adhere to reality? From this point of view we feel a bit angry and disappointed, that’s all. This behavior of Di Maio is personally incomprehensible to me and I understand that the community of the Movement, faced with something that does not adhere to reality, must defend itself ».

«As for the resolution of tomorrow son the further shipment of weapons to Ukraine», Specified Fico,« we will find a falling point. From what I learned from the Movement, the circulated text is a draft on which absolutely no work was being done, so it is not a draft that we can say refers to the Movement “. And then: «The question about the discussion in the M5S whether to be part of NATO or the EU is not real. Now it appears that the Movement both against NATO. It’s nonsense “. In any case, added Fico, “Parliament must be respected, the political forces that sit within Parliament must be respected and the work that groups also do with the government when there are resolutions must be respected. A drop point will be found which is right to find, taking into account the demands of the forces that make up the majority. It is the ABC of democracy ».
