"The statements of Di Maio on Radio Radicale are shameful. The themes must be tackled with seriousness and themes such as those of the right to knowledge and the pluralism of information to those of the life and suffering of people like the earthquake, that are not mixed they can and must not be misused every time by pure political faction propaganda, "commented Senator Pd Roberto Rampi. "Minister Di Maio has many important issues to deal with and that he would do well to devote himself entirely, leaving those with skills to follow other issues."

A Rampi echoes on Twitter Alessia Morani, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economic Development "For the sake of clarity: the funds for Radio Radicale do not touch each other. And we leave the earthquake victims out of political controversy for pleasure". While the deputy PD, member of the Transport commission, Enza Bruno Bossio, also on Twitter he writes: "To contrast the existence of Radio Radicale with the tragedy of the earthquake victims is propaganda. Only the populists and the liars are afraid of the free press".

Criticisms from Lega, Forza Italia and Fratelli d'Italia

But criticism also came from the former government ally, and it is Matteo Salvini to speak: "I think Di Maio is attacking himself, the Italians, the values ​​of the M5s and the voters are running away, so I don't envy him. As I don't envy Conte, Renzi and Zingaretti, that every day that passes, they show their nothingness to government". "We are in favor of all the free voices that inform the Italians", added the Northern League secretary.

Critics also of the deputies of Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia: "Di Maio exploits the earthquake victims as an object of exchange for Radio Radicale. We do not mix the responsibility plans, which also fall on the political leader of the 5 star Movement", says the group leader FdI in the Culture commission, and member of the Rai Supervision, Federico Mollicone. "Allowing the radio station to continue its parliamentary session activities is good for our country's democracy, thanks also to the digital memory of the republican Italy. We are ready for the battle of the classroom – assures – for Radio Radicale ".

Also Anna Maria Bernini, president of the senators of Forza Italia, speaks of political looting: "The battle of rearguard of the Five Stars against Radical Radio is not surprising and certainly not a novelty. But that on the day of the anniversary of the earthquake in Umbria Di Maio propose to allocate those funds to earthquake victims, after the governments of which it is a part have done nothing for the reconstruction, it is simply political looting, a shameful spot that will backfire ".

The reaction also lasts Mariastella Gelmini, leader of Forza Italia in the Chamber: "Di Maio is the leader of a majority party that has been continuously in government since June 1, 2018, that is for over 500 days. If it has not yet found the resources for the national shame of the post-earthquake reconstruction , it is not that we need to take money from Radio Radicale. Parliament has already voted, does the 5-star leader remember? ". "We have to take the armchair off him – he continues – and send him to do another job. Because the government of the country is obviously not a job for him: his words are unworthy, for Radio Radicale, which is a garrison of democracy, as for the earthquake victims" .
