“Schlein and the Democratic Party have nothing to do with the Origin Movement”- Corriere.it

It was a bit of a reunion of the “veterans”: from “Dibba” to the former Minister of Justice Bonafede, excluded from the third mandate e
now the owner of a large law firm.
After all, the «hard and pure» of the Movement that was had not seen each other for a long time. He was among the first to arrive at the Brancaccio Theater in Rome to attend Beppe Grillo’s show Alessandro Di Battistawhich immediately,
not being a member of the Movement anymore,
he cuts off every possible alliance with the dem: “Schlein and the Democratic Party have nothing to do with the Movement of the origins”. Giuseppe Conte is also in the audience, who has circumstantial relations with «Dibba» (there is not much sympathy between the two). And perhaps it is no coincidence that Di Battista reserves for his former leader: “On some issues such as weapons in Ukraine, today’s Movement says things that I supported a few months ago”. And on the relationship with Grillo he adds: «Although he has also discussed us, but there have been political disagreements, politically I am grateful to him and for me he is a great artist. So I’m coming to see a show.’

A little further there is the ex Keeper of the Seals Alfonso Bonafede: «Alfie» for his friends. For him, a prominent position in the Council of Administrative Justice seemed on the way, but for him, in Parliament, the stars do not seem to have aligned yet. Thus, even yesterday, the vote on his election was skipped and Bonafede avoided making statements outside Brancaccio. Further on there are also the former minister Stefano Patuanelli and the senator Marco Croatti. But among the “veterans” there is also a great absentee: Virginia Raggi, one of the pupils of “Beppe”. The former mayor of Rome, now a city councilor, was skiing in the mountains. But the future of «Dibba» holds the court between the armchairs. For the latter there is (re) talk of another candidacy, this time for the 2024 European Championships, but he doesn’t seem to care much: he’s busy preparing his new theatrical monologue on Assange and launching his new association.
