5 Stars, landslide everything: ready to leave Grassi and two other senators

"For the moment I do not answer". These are the words of Ugo Grassi, Senator of the 5 Star Movement, after having announced in September his resignation as head of the grillino in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs. Even then, relations with Luigi Di Maio were at their lowest terms. A month later, the situation precipitated. And Fats is ready to to leave. Second The messenger, the Senator's 5 Stars farewell is imminent. "I'm writing my farewell letter to the M5S. And I won't be the only one to leave"Grassi would have said to some colleagues. Opening a ditch in the Movement that could soon become a chasm. Yes, because together with him there would be two other pentastellati ladies ready to leave the 5S group at Palazzo Madama. yet another in the Movement, which is likely to extend even to the majority of the government, which has become increasingly shaky by uneasy numbers.

Grassi, with a past as director of the law department of the University of Naples "Parthenope" and as a civil law professor at the same university, has long been on the way with the political leader. The contrasts with Di Maio, linked to the scarce democracy and transparency of decision-making processes within the 5 Stars, had resulted in the end of September in the resignation of the former group leader in the Senate's Constitutional Affairs Committee.

On that occasion, Grassi said he didn't have "made no decision on the prospect of abandoning the M5S group at Palazzo Madama"while acknowledging that"there are critical issues and pretending that the problems are not there seems unrealistic". On Facebook, Grassi had shared allegations that the former minister Giulia Grillo he had turned to Di Maio ("He didn't defend me enough"). A clue that was almost like a test on the hypothesis of his abandonment of the pentastellato group in the Senate. Hypothesis that at this point could materialize soon. At the same time, weakening government and the 5 Star Movement.
