'Five Star Movement' MEPs to remain in ELDD

10/01/2017 (Agence Europe)After a meeting with the leaders of the ‘Five Star Movement’ (M5s), the head of the EFDD Eurosceptic group at the European Parliament, Nigel Farage, said, ‘any differences between Beppe Grillo’s 5 Star Movement and myself have been resolved in an amicable manner.’ ‘After a few administrative changes, we will, next week in Strasbourg, continue with our work together in the EFDD Group,’ he added in a press release, stating that ‘The Grillo campaign for a referendum on Italy’s membership of the euro is gaining momentum. (…) The Anti-Establishment campaign in Europe is really just starting.’  The day before, a majority of ALDE MEPs rejected the agreement that would transfer the 17 M5s MEPs from the EFDD to ALDE, an agreement reached by Grillo and the head of the liberal group, Guy Verhofstadt (see EUROPE 11699)(MB)
