16 June 2020The day after the clash between Alessandro di Battista and Beppe Grillo, who hit the Five Stars and made the internal fractures of the Movement even more evident, Luigi Di Maio tries to mediate: "There is no side or on the other "- said the Foreign Minister -" if we stay united this country will change ". Di maio appeals for unity but the goal is to defuse the possible negative repercussions for the executive led by Giuseppe Conte: "Citizens know that there is an economic crisis, there are concerns at work and for young people. I I want to dedicate myself to the country ".

To those who asked him if he had in mind to reapply as political leader of M5s, Di Maio preferred to answer vaguely: "I think I work for the Italians. I am a minister and I try to serve the country in the best possible way". As for the merits of the issues raised by Di Battista, on the congress clamored by the ex-deputy Di Maio he cut short, stating that in his opinion "it is not the priority for the Italians".

Alessandro Di Battista yesterday kept the point, while expressing displeasure at Grillo's reaction: "I said you need a space for comparison, call it what you want, it's my idea. Beppe Grillo - he said - sent me to that country, but it is a proposal I believe in, and since I am a grateful person, even if he sends my proposal to that country, if I had the opportunity to do it, it is thanks to him and to Gianroberto, then I have ideas, if we don't agree - he concluded - amen ".
