The anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) said Thursday it won't take flak from "a
convict's crony" such as Premier Matteo Renzi.
The alleged crony in question is former premier and
tax-fraud convict Silvio Berlusconi, who has made a deal with
Renzi on electoral and Constitutional reform.
"We will not take lessons from a premier who wants to
reform justice with someone who has always tried to sink it,"
M5S MP Luigi Di Maio wrote on the blog of movement leader Beppe
Grillo.
His blog post came after Renzi earlier denounced members of
the opposition M5S after they refused to meet with Italian
Justice Minister Andrea Orlando on reforms to the justice
system.
In a post on his Twitter feed, Renzi said that M5S members
would be more willing to speak to terrorists than the
government.
