The reaction of the M5s
“I don’t want to talk about individuals, I’m just saying that whoever proposed as our mayor yesterday today we find him sharing the political vision of Schifani, Utri and Cuffaro. We made a good choice to keep the two-mandate rule firm”. Thus commented the president of the Movimento 5 Stelle, Giuseppe Conte, on the passage of the former deputy minister Giancarlo Cancelleri to Forza Italia. “I like not talking about him today but I like to remember the many like Fico, Taverna, Crimi and many others who are, in spite of the two-mandate rule, here to lend us a hand by sharing the principles and values for which they themselves fought for years”, concluded Conte, pressed by journalists on the sidelines of an assembly organized at the International Women’s House by the “Even Number Network”.
