Chaos M5S, Di Maio: “Immature attacks”. Conte: “Strong regret”

Expulsion from M5S postponed, at least for now, for Luigi Di Maio despite the issue of disciplinary sanctions being ‘evoked’ (even if not explicitly) by some participants in the meeting. At the center of the discussion of the National Council, urgently convened by the leader of the 5 Star Movement Giuseppe Conte, is precisely the position of the Foreign Minister after the controversies of recent days. Read also The former premier, according to what was learned from Adnkronos, would have expressed “strong regret” for the utterances of the holder of the Farnesina. An intervention, that of Conte, defined as “very balanced” by pentastellate sources. At least for now, therefore, no expulsion measures against Di Maio, while the National Council of the 5 Star Movement reaffirmed the Euro-Atlantic position of Italy, brandishing the anti-Atlanticism accusations launched by the holder of the The redde rationem between the former premier and Di Maio is therefore postponed, despite the tension having reached the level of guard after the press reports with the contents of the draft resolution drawn up by some Five Star senators in view of communications in the Chamber by Prime Minister Mario Draghi. The document undertook the government not to proceed with further arms shipments to Ukraine but the pentastellate leaders were quick to ‘disavow’ the draft: the denial, however, was not enough to appease the anger of Di Maio and his , who accused Conte of “misaligning” the Movement from NATO and its European partners. A very hard battle which, according to many, was the prelude to a split. “We will reiterate the line expressed in the previous National Council on the issue of the conflict in Ukraine, or the adherence of Italy to NATO and the EU. We will underline our astonishment at how Di Maio has used the theme of national security and the international position of Italy for its political game “, a leading source of the Movement who sits on the National Council had explained to Adnkronos. Di Maio “Next week in Parliament the resolution will be voted on the position that the Government will take forward at the European tables. As Foreign Minister of the Italian Republic I reiterated and will continue to reiterate that Italy cannot afford to take positions contrary to Euro values -Atlantics. Values ​​of democracy, freedom, respect for the person and defense of states “. Luigi Di Maio, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a note expressed himself in this way in the phase of tensions that are going through the M5S in relation to the sending of weapons to Ukraine. , Putin is continuing to bomb Ukraine, ignoring the international community’s request to sit at a negotiating table. Meanwhile, the Russian army continues to kill innocent civilians and blocks ports and grain exports, risking to cause a further war which, in turn, could generate an increase in new uncontrolled migratory flows, even towards our country “. “In the meantime – we read – we must remain united in order to win the battle for the maximum gas price ceiling in the EU, to counter speculation and protect Italian families and businesses”. “Faced with such a scenario, the leaders of the first political force in Parliament, instead of self-criticism, they decide to do two things: attack, with hatred and hatred, the Foreign Minister and pursue positions that put the government in difficulty in the EU. An unripe attitude that tends to create tensions and instability within the Government A very serious fact.
