The 5-star travails of Conte, Di Maio and Travaglio
What happens in the 5 Star Movement at al Fatto Quotidiano. The Scratches of Damato
The show, between the Senate and the Chamber, after the so-called information from the Prime Minister, who held firm his position on the war in Ukraine, essentially saying that further military aid to Kiev will be decided more in Brussels than in Rome, was not the discussion that followed without a final vote. And that Marcello Sorgi in the Press has rightly defined "soporific" for its predictable trend, amidst the auspices of peace, warnings and distinctions within the majority.
No, the show was that grillino Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio, always next to Draghi to underline his closeness, consonance and anything else of a political nature. As if to make it clear that the more or less pacifist agitation of his 5 Star Movement chaired by Giuseppe Conte, who is not even a senator or deputy, should not be taken very seriously, even if supported on the right by Matteo Salvini. Under the five stars Di Maio probably counts more than Conte, despite perhaps even Grillo. Which, moreover, has just missed the objective of the presidency of the Foreign Affairs Commission of Palazzo Madama, conquered by the force driver Stefania Craxi with 12 votes against the 9 of the former pentastellated group leader Ettore Licheri adamantly supported by Conte precisely. That he had not spared even an attempt to involve the prime minister in the game with a phone call of concern and a request for help from the grillino minister for relations with the Parliament Federico D'Incà.
The newspaper notoriously most sympathetic to Conte, considered the best Prime Minister of the Italian Republic, victim last year of a political conspiracy endorsed by the President of the Republic with the appointment of another government, has assured its readers that Draghi is now "One man only". This is the title of Il Fatto Quotidiano , imagining the Prime Minister in a bathing suit on a beach, moreover interested in the provision on competition that he has just closed with the use of the umpteenth question of trust, having been authorized by an extraordinary Council of Ministers so as not to lose the related European funding to the recovery plan.
It is a pity, for Marco Travaglio, the director of the Fact , that isolation is another, well described in great detail in two articles of the Press which are mercilessly referred to on the front page as follows: “Carroccio alla conta. The leader is isolated ”, in fact. Moreover, he is also still hanging on to disputes of a judicial nature that could compromise his party position. After all, the Travaglio newspaper itself was crossed by a crisis of conscience, so to speak, due to the excessive flattening of Conte's pacifist line, or on his distinctions from the government, until it celebrated the arrival of the now more Putinian collaborator among the collaborators. famous and at the same time controversial in Italy: the professor Alessandro Orsini. Just today one of the founding fathers of the Fact like Furio Colombo returned to the Republic , very happy to welcome him, with a comment of a clear Atlanticist approach, like that of Draghi, against the project of "splitting the world" pursued by Putin with the war against 'Ukraine. “To split the world – wrote the ninety-one year old Colombo, former representative of Gianni Agnelli in the United States before becoming, among other things, director of the Unit – wrote another fighting party. There was not. But it can always be invented. It could be NATO, a cumbersome alliance not for announcing invasion plans but for having the United States as its founding partner, a great power capable of creating the image of the split world as soon as it protests and announces that it will not remain inert ".
