The day after Luigi Di Maio's split, while the Together for the Future group was born in the Chamber, headed by the Foreign Minister, the Speaker of the Chamber Roberto Fico accuses: "
The split is a power operation and not a political one
, which is different thing. And it has been used with unprecedented instrumentality ".
Even the former mayor of Turin Chiara Appendino is critical of Di Maio's choice.
"As I have always said - she underlines - my political home is that of the 5 Star Movement and, as long as there is a shared idea of the future, this will continue to be".
"Yesterday - he writes - Luigi Di Maio and several parliamentarians made a choice that I absolutely do not agree with, but that does not cancel what we have done and experienced together in all these years. Which, for better or for worse, has led us to be what we are ".
Meanwhile
, the leader of the M5s
Giuseppe Conte
assures his support for the Draghi government
.
"Support for Draghi is not in question," Conte said speaking to reporters outside the party headquarters.
"The Movement will remain the first political force to deal with all those issues, from social justice to ecological transition, which are part of the backbone of the 5 Star Movement".
Conte also reiterated that he will remain at the head of the Cinquestelle.
"
If I ever thought of leaving the leadership of the Movement? And for what reason
?" He said.
Speaking of the resolution in the Senate, "even yesterday that with the resolution we asked for greater involvement of the Chambers, as is normal in any parliamentary democracy,
we were put in a lot of difficulty
but our support did not fail", said Conte.
In the early afternoon
