Former transport minister Danilo
Toninelli said Monday that 5-Star Movement (M5S) founder Beppe
Grillo will not give up the fight after changes to the group's
statute wanted by the movement's current leader, ex-premier
Giuseppe Conte, and that he opposed were approved by a vote of
M5S members.
"Conte held a ratification ballot," said Toninelli, a member of
the M5S's board of arbitrators.
"He had already decided everything: he decided how many voters
there should be, he decided the questions and who was the
notary.
"Beppe won't give up. It's unfortunate that Conte and his guys
are trying to dance on the corpse of a lion.
"Beppe will definitely keep going. He'll take legal action over
the (M5S) symbol and make it his own.
"Conte will have to form his own party.
"The M5s will no longer exist in a few months, Beppe will take
the legal action that everyone is waiting for".
