"Are you on Giuseppi's side or are you against him?".
We are in the White House, October 2019, Salvini has brought down the yellow-green government and negotiations are underway to kick off Conte II. Donald Trump asks this of Luigi Di Maio, on a visit to Washington with Mattarella: “I held back a smile. I realized that he had no idea who he was in front of ”, reveals Di Maio in his book“ A love called politics ”.
"When I invited him to consider the quality of our commitment to NATO missions, he replied sarcastically. 'These were speeches for Obama, for me only dollars count,'" says the foreign minister.
In the autobiographical book Di Maio talks about his political parable, from the gazebos to deputy premier to the current role of foreign minister. He explains the evolution of the Movement and tells several anecdotes.
He regretted the photo on the balcony and that sentence (“We abolished poverty”) after the ok to the citizenship income. "I was wrong to go up to that balcony and say those words."
He tells of the compliments that Berlusconi paid him in the corridor of a television studio, he talks about the two Matteo.
Salvini "one of the most false people I have ever met". And he talks about the long phone call with which the relationship between the two ends in August 2019, in the midst of the yellow-green crisis.
Renzi blames the failure of negotiations with the Democratic Party in 2018 and the fall of Conte II, "a well-orchestrated escalation" by the leader of Italia Viva.
But he does not spare a criticism of Conte for how he managed that crisis: "I never understood why it was healthier for someone to govern with the so-called responsible (from Clemente Mastella to Luigi Vitali of FI, who worked on the decriminalization of false accounting and a long series of amnesties, who later became Undersecretary of Justice in Berlusconi II) rather than consolidating the majority, which would have allowed the M5s to continue to exercise leadership in the executive. And Conte to stay in P. Chigi ".
On the Movement: "Despite some errors it has had many merits in recent years, first of all that of restoring humanity and dignity to a system that had lost its sense of reality. Today, by maintaining our support for this government, we are demonstrating it. Not I have never been interested in this internal controversy between loyalists and anti-governmentists, this is not a question of being loyal to a majority or a president, but to the nation ".
