“For Luigi it was certainly a very difficult moment, he was the soul of the Movement“. Antonio Cassese, a retired teacher of History and Philosophy, speaks to Adnkronos about the farewell to the 5 Star Movement of Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, his former student at the Imbriani classical high school in Pomigliano d’Arco (Naples).” In my opinion it accomplished a step forward in its path. Now he has to better define his horizonsalways having love for the country as a guiding star. “In his autobiography ‘A love called politics’, Di Maio defined Professor Cassese “to all intents and purposes my first mentor”. The two continued to hear each other often even after high school and Cassese followed Di Maio’s political path with interest, including the turning point yesterday with the farewell to the 5 Star Movement and the birth of the parliamentary group ‘Together for the future’.
An inevitable step, according to Professor Cassese: “As a minister – he explains – he had been disheartened by his own party. This was a very serious thing on Conte’s part, which I did not expect. After all, if Conte has acquired a role in Italian politics. he owes it to Luigi. For him it must have been a difficult moment, he should have insisted on the fact that a party cannot stand in the government and discourage its own minister, he should have emphasized that his choice, and the choice of who he followed him, it was dictated above all by this position taken by Conte “.
Meanwhile, with the new parliamentary group, a new phase opens in Di Maio’s political path, which his high school teacher and “mentor” welcomes. “I sent him a message – he says – I wrote to him: ‘Now it is a question of better defining your horizons’. Now Luigi has to make a very precise choice of field”. As to which it is, Cassese has clear ideas: “I would suggest that he enter the very large area that Letta wants to create, the wide field. We need to create a credible area that has certain values at heart and has an interest in doing something to the country. This is the point – emphasizes the professor – love must not be only for politics as such, but it is above all love for the country. This is the North Star that must guide Luigi and he can to do so, he has always been stubborn, even as a student when he was committed he always achieved his goal. He is a very determined one, but he must have a precise horizon. We must want to change the history of the country, we must have the dream of changing the world ” .
