Petrocelli: “I think the time has come for the M5S to withdraw ministers and undersecretaries from the Draghi government”
On Vito Petrocelli now the shadows of a crisis within the majority are gathering. The president of the Senate Foreign Affairs Commission, critical of the choice to host the Ukrainian president in Parliament via videoconference, asks his party to close with the Draghi government: “I think the time has come for the M5S to withdraw ministers and undersecretaries from the Draghi government. This government has decided to send weapons to Ukraine at war, effectively making Italy a co-belligerent country “.
All this, after the utterances against the bipartisan resolution for aid to Ukraine and while Petrocelli is preparing to chair the work of the Senate commission on the Ukraine decree. What’s more: while the commission is meeting, the sentaore announces that he will no longer vote for confidence in the Draghi government. There is enough to provoke the reaction of parts of the majority, starting with Italia Viva which asks the leaders of the 5 Star Movement to distance themselves and the senator to resign from his post: “The leaders of the M5S dissociate themselves from the very serious words of Vito Petrocelli regarding the withdrawal of ministers and undersecretaries from an Italian government defined as ‘interventionist’ which is rightly defending the values of democracy embodied by the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people “, asks the vice president of the senators of Italia Viva, Laura Garavini.
A request which is also associated with the senator dem, Andrea Marcucci: “The position of the president of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Vito Petrocelli, is no longer sustainable. The M5S must take a decision”. From Action, it’s the deputy Osvaldo Naples to underline that Petrocelli “opens a serious political question in the majority and the solution can only come from an initiative of the Cinquestelle leader Giuseppe Conte”. Also because Petrocelli has no intention of resigning. “I do not intend to leave the presidency of the Foreign Affairs Commission”, he explains: “I believe I can bring, as I have done in three years with three different majorities, even when I did not share passages of those majorities, the voice of the government in office in every international forum, as I will also do on Monday in Washington “.
Therefore, “it is the leader of the M5s who must take the situation head-on and provoke the resignation of Petrocelli”, Naples again suggests: “If he does not want to expel him from the party, it will mean that he will add another contradiction to the many of the movement. But Petrocelli cannot stay a minute longer at the helm of the Commission. Neither Conte can trot further “, concludes the exponent of Action. Expulsion is, in any case, a possibility that Petrocelli is well aware of.” The 5-star Movement will make a decision, it can decide to expel me . President Conte can do what he wants. They want to expel a senator because he doesn’t vote to send weapons to a country at war? Let them see what the consequences are. “
The Five Star leaders seem to want to minimize: “Those of Senator Petrocelli are personal considerations that do not represent the position of the M5S”, explains the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Federico D’Inca ‘. “The positions of the M5S are those indicated by Conte, we are here to work”, he adds. In the meantime, however, the face marked by the weariness of the Ukrainian president appears on the screens placed in the Chamber of Deputies, the appeal is not to leave the Ukrainian people alone. The Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, confirms the help from the Italian government, hopes that Ukraine will join the European Union, although he does not forget to point out that there is a procedure to follow. Absent people are not lacking, it is true, but they are mostly “justified” absences. Vito Petrocelli is among them. “I’m coming, I’m not coming to listen to Zalensky. Indecorous ballet. Dishonorable choice”, observes the Secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, without mentioning Senator M5s.
