M5s MEPs Michele Nitti and Nadia Aprile left the Movement and formally requested to join the Mixed group.
"I cannot hide that the events that have seen me protagonist in the last period have seriously shaken me - said in a note Nadia Aprile, outgoing Member of the M5S Group in the Chamber -. The situation in which I found myself depended exclusively on a 'relentless drift of the MoVimento and the lack of consideration in which I was held as a Member of Parliament and as a person ". "After having thought thoroughly" and considering "the illegitimate and unfounded procedure against me, I decided not to continue military in the Movement any more".
