Di Maio celebrates but the M5 is gone. The referendum masks the confrontation

Rome, September 22, 2020 – The victory of Yes in the referendum was announced yesterday by the Grillini leaders as a triumph capable of covering the regional candidates weak and the absolute inconsistency of those who appeared for the municipal, where no star has reached the polls. Luigi di maioAs expected, this victory was immediately recorded, led alongside Paola Taverna, to make it the cornerstone of the relaunch of a Movement whose cracks and internal struggles, however, will again be clearly visible as soon as the dust has settled. of the celebrations. . As Ignazio Corrao, MEP and well-known face of the Grillini, made clear, who came like a cold shower to the enthusiasm of the leaders: “We must have the maturity to tell ourselves that today’s yes to reform is light years away from being considered a vote ‘in favor’ of the M5 or those who manage it. As it is easy to understand from the electoral results that they are the most absolute disaster. Let there be euphoria among my colleagues for this result, I find it out of place and misleading. Because today we should all keep our heads down and reflect on how we have reduced ourselves to these numbers and what the responsibilities are ”. However, there is no reflection. Nor will there be, at least soon.

Yesterday, for the M5, it was the day of the removal of the real problems that grab him to sell the fake money of a party that “drives change”: “What has been achieved is a historic result – said Di Maio -” . we have again a normal parliament, with 345 seats and fewer privileges. Without the M5, it never would have happened. “

Later Vito Crimi, pro tempore leader of the party, of whom he spoke echoed him. “exciting result”: “The next step will be to cut parliamentary allocations and the conflict of interest will not end there with the reforms.” But Di Maio, claiming victory, also sent a torpedo to Crimi, arguing that “the regionals could instead organize themselves differently and with another strategy,” a phrase that was read by the majority as a formal opening, by the minister. of Foreign Relations, of the party congress, where he intends to strongly affirm the result of the vote in his favor and with an eye obviously directed to the reconquest of leadership.

The rise of Di Maio, however, it seems far from simple. The chancellor is not to the liking of a substantial part of the parliamentary groups and the extreme fragmentation of internal divisions makes it difficult to reconstruct a geography of influence. Imagine finding a political glue that holds you together again. Outside the palace, then, Alessandro Di Battista’s mine, supported by an increasingly distant Davide Casaleggio, has now become uncontrollable. The support given by Di Maio’s former ‘different twin’ to Antonella Laricchia in Puglia, even convinced Fact director Marco Travaglio to give him a heavy beating, despite the fact that ‘Dibba’ had collaborated for some time for his own Newspaper.

In short, a ‘war’ of all against all that could definitely break out if the Democratic Party calls for a government reorganization. At risk, in fact, there are precisely two star ministers, Education Azzolina and Nunzia Catalfo, Minister of Labor, whom the Democratic Party would like to remove from the ministry of Via Veneto when there will be money from the Recovery Fund to manage, destined to restart the world of work.
