M5S: Board of Arbitrators opens expulsion procedure

 "The Board of Arbitrators, convened in today's meeting, decided by a majority of its members to apply the provisions of the Statute automatically in case of expulsion from the parliamentary group and will proceed from today with the opening of proceedings against the parliamentarians to whom it is the expulsion was announced by the group leaders of the Chamber and Senate, following the vote of confidence on the government in recent days ". This was announced by the Board of Arbiters. "Simultaneously" with the opening of the deportation procedures "a phase of careful verification will begin on all the spokespersons who are not up to date with the reports, proceeding as of today with the first opening of the procedure for the most latecomers".

"I'm not captaining currents, splits, forming parties. I'm trying to carry on certain battles from the outside. If I had been an MP I would have voted no". Alessandro Di Battista said this in a direct Instagram. "How is it possible to endorse a government with Fi? I'm not okay with you now? Amen, then" when you read the sentence on the relations between Dell'Utri and the mafia "I was okay, today isn't it? It's the M5s that no longer thinks like me , not me who no longer thinks of it as the M5s. I will not make splits or currents. Someone says that I have the symbol of Italia dei Valori, but when ever? Who says it is a poisoner of wells. I left the M5s without slamming the door ". 

- There are no more certainties in the 5 Star Movement of the Mario Draghi era. The ax of the leaders on the dissidents of the Senate and the Chamber feeds a new chaos, which is wedged into the heart of the Movement, the college of Arbitrators. Where one of the members, Raffaela Andreaola, in fact asks that the expulsion procedure against dissident parliamentarians be stopped until the election of the new governance. But the leaders are going straight. Twenty-one deputies, in the afternoon, were expelled from the Movement group. "Enough tension, the M5S evolves and grows, let's look at the citizens", is the closing of Vito Crimi. But the voice of the political leader, despite the Guarantor Beppe Grillo is on the same line, this time is not enough. And the fratricidal war rages in the Movement, with Alessandro Di Battista ready to return to the trenches, on Saturday afternoon, with an Instagram Live. "920 days have passed since the Genoa massacre. The relatives of the victims of the collapse of the Morandi bridge have been waiting for the 920 days of the concessions to be revoked. Has anyone heard President Draghi talk about the issue? No!", The former deputy attacked in the morning preparing the path of total opposition to the Draghi executive, through which the "Dibba" does not want to leave the stage only to the leader of Fdi Giorgia Meloni. The puzzle, however, is where Di Battista's opposition will be placed at the party and symbol level. Since, still in these hours, there are those who bet that in the end the man of the square will return to the M5S at the right time. Maybe just to take the Movement. Those who are organizing, however, are the Orthodox expelled to the Senate and the Chamber. The numbers are there, the symbol may be there soon. "The IDV symbol in the Senate can create a Group made up of at least 10 senators", writes on Fb Elio Lannutti, already linked to the IDV before joining the M5S. On the symbol, among other things, there would also be the availability of the secretary Ignazio Messina. "So the dissidents take the IDV symbol? Are they happy ...", jokes a leading source of the Movement. In the House it is not necessary that the symbol was presented in the last elections. Some rumors predict that for the new group, the name and symbol of Alternative Free, which in the last legislature gathered several exiles, can be brought back into vogue. Not everyone, however, is convinced by the formation of the new groups. Giovanni Russo, in the Chamber, is close to Fdi. In the Senate the "big" Barbara Lezzi and Nicola Morra have not yet dissolved the reserve. Meanwhile, there are those in the Movement who are trying to recover dissidents, acting as bridges between the leaders and the Orthodox. "I remember that many colleagues who voted in dissent are a fundamental part of the Movement, as well as fraternal friends and comrades in many battles. We need unity now", underlines the vice president Paola Taverna, one of the most "suffered" yeses in the Draghi government. While, among the expelled, many - from Michele Sodano to Matteo Mantero - point the finger at Crimi: "the choice of expulsion is not up to him, he had already threatened us". And the internal war of the M5S dangerously crosses with the election of the new 5-member committee. At the moment, unofficially, the only two who have aired the candidacy are, paradoxically, two expelled: Morra and Lezzi. Di Battista, who is formally not out of the Movement, could theoretically be a candidate. In the government wing, however, uncertainty reigns. Alfonso Bonafede takes off, Luigi Di Maio has not yet made his first move, the current "Parole Guerriere" has also split on the yes to Draghi. Confusion reigns, intolerance grows. "I am not happy with this tafazzismo, we play the game of those who want to break us", Fabio Massimo Castaldo protruded.
