(ANSA - Rome, September 26 - Alessandro Di Battista called on
the 5-Star Movement (M5S) to get behind premier candidate Luigi
Di Maio in a speech he intended to give at a rally at Rimini at
the weekend but did not attend because of the birth of his
child.
In the speech, which Di Battista published on Facebook on
Tuesday, the lawmaker also explained his decision not to run in
the M5S premier candidate primaries.
"Running for premier is not obligatory, here the only thing
that it obligatory is to stay united, as we have tough months
ahead," he said.
"I'm a free agent. I have confidence in Luigi. He has taken
the movement on his shoulders. And he should be supported".
