Hurricane arriving in the M5S. After weeks of rumors and rumors, Luigi Di Maio could announce his step back as political leader of the Movement tomorrow. A real earthquake five days before the Regionals in Calabria and Emilia Romagna which, according to what has been learned, would have struck by surprise also some members of government pentastellati. At 10 all summoned to Palazzo Chigi, for 'controlled' resignation in the direction of more collegial management. Of course, a sensational move at a very delicate moment also for the Giallorossi government. "He resigns before the regional ones. They say", is the sibylline comment of Gianluigi Paragone, senator expelled at the beginning of the year and leading a group of anti-Pd dissidents. The 2020 M5S, in short, started exactly like the past one: extremely troubled and without a single day of respite for Di Maio, now determined to step aside. The last tile are two other defections: in fact they greet the Group in the Camera Nadia Aprile and Michele Nitti, announcing the passage to the Mixed. "I have come to the determination that I will no longer be able to continue in the military movement of which, although I still share the inspiring principles, I can no longer tolerate the methods," explains the parliamentarian, who attacks the leaders for the accusations on the non-refunds with a "illegitimate and unfounded" procedure. The reaction? It arrives a few minutes after the first launches of the agency, with pentastellate sources that clearly explain how the reason for the farewell is an imminent disciplinary measure. "" Just go to the tirendiconto.it website to see that the deputy Nadia Aprile has carried out her last restitution in December 2018, while for Michele Nitti refunds are stopped in April 2019 ", argues from Casa M5S. According to some parliamentary drafts, the two could soon find refuge in the future formation of the ex minister Lorenzo Fioramonti, but they are not in few to fear new expulsions of the Arbitrators in the next few hours. Many have run for cover in these days, so it would possibly be a "limited" number of red cards which, ensure sources within the Movement, would not undermine the tightness of the executive led by Giuseppe Conte. "The majority is solid both in the House and in the Senate, I see no worries," the minister reiterated to reporters for Relations with Parliament Federico D'Incà. All eyes are on Di Maio now, although tomorrow was expected in the afternoon in Rome to present the regional facilitators. For them, 53,846 members of Rousseau voted for three areas: Training and involvement; Internal relations (relations with the elected representatives of the region's Movement, list support point) External relations. The names of the candidates for Liguria, Puglia and Tuscany are still awaited, but the impression is that the future of the M5S now passes through Rome. For the post Di Maio, elected by popular acclaim in 2017, there would be Vito Crimi, senior member of the Guarantee Committee. But the certainties seem very weak, on the eve of a day watershed for the whole Movement.
