Luigi Di Maio, the return to EU politics
The former minister, after leading the split from the M5S, was not re-elected to Parliament in the last elections. But there were rumors of his return precisely with the appointment of EU envoy for the Gulf that had already been expected for several months. Di Maio had entered one “short list” composed of four names: in addition to his, that of the Greek Dimitris Avramopoulos (former minister and former European commissioner), the Cypriot Markos Kiprianou (former foreign minister) and finally a former Slovakian foreign minister.
Now his appointment seems like a done deal. The EU High Representative indicated him as the “most suitable candidate” for the post of EU envoy Josep Borrell which proposes to appoint him “for an initial period of 21 months, starting from 1 June 2023 until 28 February 2025”.
