October 31, 2020 "Surely these are hours of European reflection: Belgium, France and other countries have declared a lockdown. Compared to this curve, Italy is not at the top of the contagions: we must not rest assured but we must understand whether to anticipate moves to prevent the worst curve ".

This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio interviewed at the party of the newspaper 'Il Foglio', underlining that "incessant meetings are underway for the next dpcm which will certainly be more restrictive".

For the minister, it is not the time to "open a government crisis in this contagion crisis" to create a government of national unity.

We need a government that is fully legitimized and capable of making decisions quickly. "

A "control room with the opposition is only a natural step in this crisis," the Foreign Minister later said.

"But I don't think that, even involving the opposition, we will be able to stop that minority part that makes violent protests. I understand the protests, but two thirds of European countries because it is a measure that serves to interrupt the circulation of the virus".

The minister then spoke of the Mes.

With the Mes "the gain is 300 million compared to when we withdraw the money on the market, as Gualtieri said. Our state budget is not in an emergency", he said, again excluding recourse to the European mechanism.

As regards the situation within the Five Star Movement, Di Maio hoped that the General States "will be done as soon as possible. Let's give ourselves a new collegial leadership and let's start again" he said.

Asked about his future role, Di Maio stressed that "the Movement must know that in any case, beyond the roles, I will always be there".

As for Davide Casaleggio and Alessandro Di Battista, "I hope that everyone can always be there but if the Movement changes all its parts will change. In a new structure weights and counterweights change but in the case of Davide as in that of Alessandro I work for the unit".
