For his return to the scene, he chooses Bari and Puglia. Choose to pull the sprint in the closing ceremony of the electoral campaign of Antonella Laricchia, the presidential candidate who a few weeks ago had also rejected the invitations of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to ally with the center-left of Michele Emiliano. Therefore, she chooses a representation in the hard and pure territory of the Movement and, above all, an alternative to all the political forces in the field. Like Di Battista, who finds ideal terrain here. As Barbara Lezzi likes, the Senator from Salento who has always opposed the alliance between the Movement and the Democratic Party in Rome that here in Puglia was Laricchia’s alter ego, supporting her in her uncompromising line of No to alliances that Puglia could give – the land of Conte – in the center-right, creating many problems for the government. Lezzi himself takes the stage with Laricchia to present Di Battista’s return to the scene. “For us, the presence of Alessandro here means a lot – says the former minister of the South in the yellow-green government – it means a lot that she chose Apulia for her return. There wasn’t much to do to convince him. One thing said: “Alessandro, in Puglia you will find the warmth you deserve”.
Then he begins with his repertoire, he cites the Parliament lobbies to justify the Yes in the referendum on the reduction of parliamentarians, attacks the unions responsible for “disasters” in the last thirty years, takes up the issue of conflict of interest and large groups editorials for that reason defend the No to the referendum.
“I,” he says, holding the favorite role of martyr, “have never been silent and I pay the consequences. I follow the dictatorship of conscience. I suffer smear campaigns every day. There is a team with which you can agree or that you can counteract it. I want to counteract it. ” A blow also to Mario Draghi “at this moment he is outraged by the system. God forbid”.

Here is a first message to his followers: “Put aside the issue of having to win by force, as if winning by force was the end.” And the criticisms of the Movement made by him in recent months “serve to improve the political force:” The people should also criticize the Movement when it does not keep a promise, as it happened to us. “
But she is on stage to take the sprint to Laricchia and that’s what she does: “Antonella chose the most difficult, which did not suit her, because the men close to Emiliano promised her anything, they offered her the Win for life. Don’t think they haven’t tried it on me either. ” She resisted “if not, today she would be Minister of the Republic.”
And if in the talks within the Movement they had reproached him for having launched strong attacks against Emiliano without mentioning Fitto once, here from Bari he also sends broadcasts to the candidate for governor, an expression of the Brothers of Italy: “I do not forget when I was Minister of the Berlusconi government and considered a hero to Mangano, Fitto was responsible for the large cuts to health care and at this moment by patronage logic, Antonio Azzollini, convicted in the first instance for complicity in bankruptcy, is sentenced to Bari.
And yet, the main and most numerous attacks are against Emiliano defined as patron of patronage: “He also has the same modus operandi, he appoints Cassano and Di Cagno Abbrescia in the regional agencies.” He mentions the unpresentable in the lists of the outgoing governor of Apulia and Vincenzo De Luca of Campania. “And why would Laricchia have to step aside to allow these people in?” As for the request for a useful vote that Emiliano made to 5-star voters, it is still a strong judgment: “Is it useful to hold your nose? But what does this mean? Is the voting booth like a public toilet? vote is sacred. ” Vote therefore the Movement “to strike a blow to the heart of the clientelist system.”
From the stage, he first defends Conte (a man not tied to an armchair), then establishes the conditions for the Movement: “The States General will serve to develop a political agenda for the next ten years that can rebuild a community.” That’s right, rebuild. Talk about the need for renovation. And to those who point out that his presence in Bari is seen as a signal against the Giallorossi government, he replies: “But why didn’t other ministers of the Movement come to support Antonella?” clear reference also to Luigi Di Maio, in Puglia last week.
Throughout the night, however, there is an air of a return to the past. To say, the presenter on stage, the 5-star mayor of Conversano to introduce Laricchia says: “He resisted the flattery of the devil who caressed his soul. But Antonella’s soul is not for sale.” We are in the Origins Movement. And, therefore, in the gigantic operation of “back to the past” to which the main candidates of the regional elections, Michele Emiliano and Raffaele Fitto -35 years of political experience behind them, together- are forcing citizens and voters from Apulia, the Movement also falls in full force. 5 stars. Laricchia herself, her figure and her name, represent a first return to the past, given that the same name and that face already appeared on electoral posters five years ago, when Laricchia was a candidate for the presidency for the Movement for the first time. .
At the Bari rally, however, the return to the past does not only concern the candidate, it seems like some kind of collective operation. Everyone, from the audience to the stage, hopes to return to the movement of the origins, when there were no agreements with the other parties. “The issue of alliances destroys the issue of projects”, declares Di Battista da Bari not by chance, here where he wants to try to regain control of the Movement.
