Di Battista accuses: “Di Maio’s appointment as EU envoy for the Gulf is a political bill”

He calls it “a political bill of exchange.” Don’t spare criticism Alessandro Di Battista talking about his former party partner and friend Louis DiMaio. Commenting on the appointment of former foreign minister Grillino as EU special envoy for the Gulf, Di Battista accused: “I expected it, I would have been surprised otherwise”. For the former grillino, in fact, “a person who helps bring down the government With youwhich receives Mario Draghi and works to ensure that there is that government, which takes completely different positions from those in the history of the 5 Star Movement to pay homage to the Washington masters, then it is unlikely that it does not get a small seat in exchange. Evidently it was a political bill, too bad for him”.

Harsh words pronounced by Di Battista on the sidelines of the presentation of his new project ‘Schierarsi’, controversies that add to the barrage of Northern League supporters who criticized the decision of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrel. The indication of Di Maio as a possible special envoy for the Gulf had matured last November. The former Italian foreign minister had overcome the competition of three other candidates: the Greek Dimitris Avramopoulos (former minister and former European commissioner), the Cypriot Markos Kiprianou (former foreign minister) and finally a former Slovakian foreign minister.
