5-Star Movement (M5S) premier
candidate Luigi Di Maio said Wednesday that it had been mistake
to trust all the lawmakers for the anti-establishment group to
respect a pledge to pay back part of their salaries.
But he said he would remedy the situation and promised that a
list of pledge-cheats would be shown "today".
"I was wrong to trust the human being," Di Maio said.
"But there is time to fix things. These people have been
kicked out".
The back-payment-pledge furore is embarrassing for the M5S,
which prides itself on its "honesty".
