From Zelensky to Di Battista: because Sanremo 2023 will be a Festival of struggle and government

Leisure is now not lacking for the illustrious exes of the pentastellato government. Luigi Di Maio goes kart racing, old dot. Alessandro Di Battista plays padel and prepares the debut at the Sanremo “counterfestival” of the Dupre commission, with Carlo Freccero and associates on the Ligurian coast, a protest against Zelensky’s video-hosted at the Rai1 final. Roberto Fico shows up in the office that he maintained in the Chamber, as former president, among the curious looks of the travets of Montecitorio, who ask each other at every step: «But after he has turned on the computer, what exactly does he do? ». The second life of the M5S attack trident that was is a “suspended” life. The wait for plans B, in fact.
Luigi Di Maio is the one who left the scene fastest among the three: minister in three governments, tenant of the Farnesina, leader of the relative majority party. In Pomigliano d’Arco the bare minimum is shown, he kept the house in Rome, in the Camilluccia area (but his ex-girlfriend Virginia Saba moved elsewhere a month ago). The agenda is full of commitments and everything points to a backlash: snatching the post of EU emissary in the Gulf, over 10,000 euros a month, plus a staff. When the news leaked out, the chances seemed to be in free fall, also because the successor at Foreign Affairs, Tajani, preferred the popular Greek Avramopoulos, who however ended up in the scandal of the Qatari bribes. So Di Maio still hopes, but he keeps a project in his drawer: the world of consultancy and lobbies.

“I don’t get worn out – he said a few weeks ago -. I’m still waiting for a response from the EU, in the first months of 2023, otherwise I’ll do something else”.
