Rome, November 11 (Adnkronos) – "I am absolutely convinced that the Five Star Movement has the potential to grow and that the center-left can win the next elections. Conte is the most underrated person of all. In my opinion, he was an excellent prime minister. I believe I have completed a period. Conte's growth and his communication skills have made me less necessary and useful.
He's a strong leader, he doesn't need a communications manager like me." Rocco Casalino on Otto e mezzo on La7.
"With the Movement," he continues, "we suffered greatly from overly partisan journalism when we first entered parliament. In my new role, I want to make an effort: it won't be easy to step away after 15 years as a party leader, but I will try to report the facts and stay as close to the truth as possible. This will be the goal."
"I think the Movement has done some very important things. We reached 33% with everyone against us. I don't see any extraordinary measure from the current government that will bring growth. The citizen's income has lifted so many people out of poverty. Meloni boasts of having abolished it, and I'm proud of having done so. At RAI, with the Movement, we tried every way to change that mechanism. Nothing comparable to the current government," he concludes.
