February 8, 2021 Luigi Di Maio speaks late at night, towards the end of the very long joint assembly of the grillini groups.

A meeting where the M5S questioned the possibility of supporting the nascent Draghi government.

The majority of parliamentarians who spoke open to the new executive chaired by the former number one of the ECB.

But the no are worried, such as those of senators Barbara Lezzi (who speaks of "political suicide" and asks for a vote in June) and Danilo Toninelli (who proposes a return to the opposition, to an M5S of struggle and "denunciation") .

But also that of Senator Matteo Mantero who warns: I am waiting to understand how the executive will be composed.

If there will be ministers of Forza Italia and Lega, it is impossible to vote for confidence. "



The outgoing Foreign Minister - among the first to open up to the Draghi hypothesis - dismisses the theses of the Malpancisti and makes a pragmatic speech:" Enough with the story of 'opposition.

There is no opposition without us, without the 5 Star Movement.

Because there is no government without us.

This is the responsibility that we must feel on our shoulders ", Di Maio would have said according to what Adnkronos has learned. 



" The Movement in recent years has always shown seriousness and responsibility.

We feel the weight of 33% of votes received in 2018, of the 11 million Italians who trusted us and whom we represent in Parliament.

Let's go ahead with our heads held high "writes the former foreign minister in a post on Facebook. And he adds:" We were decisive in Count I with symbolic measures such as the Citizenship Income and the anti-corruption law.

We were fundamental in Conte II with reforms that will make history, such as the cut of parliamentarians.

And we will continue to be decisive. "" The Movement is a large family, with very specific values ​​and principles, made up of people who think about the interests of citizens, the collective good.

Over the years they have tried to divide the 5 Star Movement in every way, without ever succeeding.

They attacked us and continue to do so in an instrumental way.

Every day there is no lack of evil against me, against the Movement.

Falsehood upon falsity.

They have been trying for years, but they will not succeed "concludes Di Maio.


@ Mov5Stelle is a large family, with very specific values ​​and principles, made up of people who think about the interests of citizens, the collective good.

Patuanelli: "Staying out would be inconceivable"

On the same wavelength Stefano Patuanelli: we have worked a lot in the last three years, with Recovery we have managed to get over 200 billion and stay out by the government at this stage - the sense of the reasoning expressed by the holder of the Mise - would be inconceivable.



Conte: "This is not the time for self-harm and self-exclusion"

The (surprise) intervention of the outgoing premier Giuseppe Conte, increasingly projected towards a political future within the Movement, was greatly appreciated: "Turning your back to the president in charge it would be like turning his back on the country. It is not the time for self-harm and self-exclusion ", the words of Conte, who did not hide his strong reservations about a possible entry of the League in the new executive led by Draghi. 



Di Battista: "I don't change my mind, no to Draghi"

The grillino Alessandro Di Battista also stops at his positions.

"Let me be clear, I have no doubts that Professor Draghi is an honest, highly trained and authoritative person. This does not mean that he must necessarily be supported. I oppose Draghi not on a personal level but on a political one. And, I repeat, I do not change my mind. - he writes on Facebook - Besides, the parliamentary gathering that is taking shape is the antithesis of politics. I invite you, without prejudice, to read what I wrote about Professor Draghi on August 31st ".



Di Battista recalls that five months ago he wrote: "Draghi has not changed, he has not converted to the general interest, he has not become aware of the perversions of liberalism. On the other hand, a financial capitalist is forever. He simply wants to be President of Repubblica and to get to the Quirinale he is even willing to lead a government of national unity (God forbid) if requested ".

Words, he remembers today, that "I wrote when I had the feeling that a Draghi government was being worked on. I repeat. You can respect a man even by opposing. I have taken my choice, and I go to the end".
