M5s, internal frictions for the alliance with the Pd

E 'tussle in the M5s for the alliance with the Democratic Party. On the one hand, in fact, Luigi di Maio who still today, in an interview with Fatto Quotidiano, hopes for a table with the dems for the 2021 municipal elections. On the other, the most radical, such as Senator Barbara Lezzi, according to whom 'if this it must be the M5S, we can safely say that until now we have joked, played or perhaps betrayed '.

 Currently "we do not govern in any region and we have 1 percent of mayors - Di Maio al Fatto remembers - but I want to favor the birth of a generation of M5S administrators who know how to govern even in coalition, and then we need a national table with the Democratic Party to think about the municipalities of 2021. Several agreements were made at the municipal level. I worked on my territory, and reached an agreement in Pomigliano d'Arco (the town where Di Maio grew up, ed) - he explains the Foreign Minister - In Puglia and in the Marches the territories have given a different indication, which must be respected, and I say right now that I will campaign for our candidates ". To find agreements "we had to move first, but if there is no national coordination it is difficult". "5 Star candidates supported by others, and candidates by others supported by us" were proposed. Di Maio assures that his is not a criticism of Crimi: "Vito has done the impossible and the reasoning also concerns me. Even as a political leader, when I thought about this round of regional and administrative, I did not see the conditions on the territories for agreements ". However, the M5s "must grow. For next year's municipalities we need an overall reasoning on the cities, starting from Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples and Bologna". Di Maio does not think that in Rome and Turin Virginia Raggi and Chiara Appendino "should take a step back, and I do not think there is a crowd of excellent candidates ready to replace them. People and their skills matter". The M5S must maintain its autonomy "outside the traditional coalitions. But there is a generation of elected officials who ask us to make agreements on the territories, and there are mayors who must be supported". The national governance model "must be replicated where possible at the local level". On the other hand, agreements with the center-right are not possible: "Matteo Salvini, with whom I have not spoken since last year, has shown that he is not serious. Just look at his electoral campaign, where he violates all anti-Covid rules". 

"Maybe I'm not part of the club of" all crazy for Mario Draghi - retorts Lezzi on Facebook - but if this is to be the M5S, the one told today by Di Maio, we can safely say that until now we have joked, played or perhaps betrayed ". But the post of Lezzi feeds the" grumbles "of the base: several comments in which users stray from the position of the senator." The errors of evaluation committed at the time of Count I during which the certificates of esteem were wasted, trust and friendship for Salvini, they taught little or nothing. Perhaps simply because it is preferable to indulge the power to take a piece for oneself. You feel fulfilled having in your address book the telephone numbers of those who "matter", whether they are one or the other, it doesn't matter. The ambition is reduced to the horizon of a desk and the little politics lesson stops within the Pomiglianese borders ", writes Lezzi, one of the main detractors of the M5S-Pd alliance in Puglia. The post immediately collects hundreds of comments. And many they rebel against Lezzi's position. "You are only hurting the Movement", Paola writes. "You find the meeting points and not those of confrontation. This country needs the M5S and needs superfine intelligence like yours ", average Antonio." Pick up the phone and call Di Maio if you have something to tell him. You are giving food to the Northern League and not. You look like Michele Giarrusso, you really are tiring ", is Marzia's protest." It doesn't seem to me that Di Maio said things out of this world ", urges Vincenzo. Among the users there are also those who defend the senator." A light in the night, finally someone says it clearly ", Marcella writes." But how can you stay in this rib, or rather metastasis of the Democratic Party? ", asks Max." Since Di Maio "took off his tie" we look like puppets in the hand of the Pd ", adds Antonio. And Mauro, finally, sums up:" the real betrayal is having postponed the States General ".
