06 December 2019 "A foolishness" that M5s wants to bring down the government: the pentastellato political leader, Luigi Di Maio, assured him by intervening on Radio Capital. "We have always been loyal to the governments in which we participate, the previous one did not make us fall", the foreign minister recalled, "the fact that Di Maio wants to bring down the government is not true: we have given birth to him, otherwise we did not start it ".

For Di Maio the executive may last another three years: "M5s has a program to carry out and has the sacrosanct right to be evaluated at the end of five years, the duration of the legislature". For the Foreign Ministry holder there will be no repercussions on the government from the vote in Emilia Romagna and Calabria: "For me those regions are not a referendum on the government, the citizens of those regions have the right to choose who to get themselves governed" without thinking about national political framework. Then on the signing of the Salva Stati Di Maio fund he states: "We need to see what changes".

Prescription: "M5S does not intend to retreat and I do not think that Pd wants to rip"
"If in the program and in the agreements with the Democratic Party they had told me 'look we have to change the prescription or sign the Mes' in the dark, I would have said no. What we have put in the program we do, while on what is not in the program we must find an agreement. We on the statute of limitations have said it clearly: agreement on the timing of the trials but from the first of January the prescription must come into force, because on that we cannot retreat ", said Di Maio.
"I did not have the impression that you want to make a break", saying that you are certain that with the Democratic Party "an agreement can be found". If instead, he added, "someone wants to vote for a law with Salvini and Berlusconi. But in my perception, in the work I do every day, even meeting the leaders of the PD, I do not perceive that you want to make a break".

"Document to discourage me? A dozen are scared when I raise my voice"
The M5S leader also commented on the press rumors that there was a document from some M5S heads of commission to discourage him "I was born in the seventh consecutive title of 'Repubblica' on me ...", Luigi Di Maio cut short, to Radio Capital microphones. "Out of 320 parliamentarians there are a dozen scared when I raise my voice, I do not give up our battles because someone is scared". The Movement has always treated government situations fairly. When we disagree on some issues, the Movement says so ". He added.

"Di Battista must be supported, it is not a foreign body"
"It is sacrosanct that not everyone in the movement agrees with me, but treating Alessandro like a foreign body hurts me, we have built a piece of movement together and if he talks about taking away the concessions from Benetton and that we cannot sign in the dark an international treaty like the Mes ", I" believe it should be supported ", declared the political leader M5S.

"Alliance with the Democratic Party? We remain different political forces"
Regarding a possible alliance with the Democratic Party, the pentastellato leader reiterated: "The PD has been trying to say we must make an alliance for ten years, I think we have built the government to cut parliamentarians, avoid raising the Iva, we have a program to build together, but we remain political forces of different poles ".

Foreign policy: "Dialogue with Damascus and not with a military solution in Libya"
As far as foreign policy is concerned, the foreign minister has then focused on the situation in Syria. Dialogue channels must be held with "all representative subjects" and "greater impetus must also be given to dialogue with Damascus", said Di Maio, interviewed by the Corriere della Sera in view of 'Med, Mediterranean dialogues', a conference that opens today its works. "We fully support the work of the United Nations and Special Envoy Geir Pedersen, whom I met at the Farnesina, and I consider it important to give even greater impetus to dialogue with Damascus - affirms Di Maio -, thus involving all the representative subjects, as we do in Libya: Developments on the ground call for renewed diplomatic efforts and I believe that Europe must do more in this direction ".

Responding to a question on the stabilization of Libya and Moscow's role in mediation with Haftar, the minister underlines: "With Russia we share the goal of stability in Libya. Moscow is a key interlocutor. I am about to see Minister Sergej Lavrov. I will reiterate our firm belief that there is no military solution in Libya and that no one can benefit from a situation from which only instability arises, which is why external interference must cease, on the contrary, all energies must be used to persuade the parties that the only viable solution is the political one ".
