Anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S) leader Beppe Grillo on Monday came out against gas
pipelines such as the TransAdriatic Pipeline (TAP) bringing
Caspian gas to Europe via Italy. He also restated the M5S's
opposition to drilling for oil and gas, saying it was a "step
forward in civilisation to move from fossil fuels to renewable
energy". There have been protests in Puglia against the TAP with
demonstrators trying to stop the temporary removal of olive
trees. A referendum against oil drilling was voided by low
turnout last year.
