Anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) deputy head Luigi Di Maio lashed out at Premier
Matteo Renzi Tuesday, charging that he "manipulates everything
he can".
Responding to the premier's remarks about expulsions from
the party headed by the raucous comic Beppe Grillo, Di Maio, the
M5S vice president, poured scorn on the government's pledge
Sunday to give a tax break of 80 euros a month to new mothers.
"Matteo Renzi manipulates everything he can, we know him
very well," Di Maio said, "he is a person who only makes
announcements to cover the pigs' mess that he has done, for
instance with the stability law and the health cuts, and forcing
the local authorities to increase taxes for Italian citizens".
Renzi "is the person who announces the bonus to new
mothers in a measure that doesn't exist to cover the fact that
Italian women will have to give birth in hospitals that have
suffered more spending cuts".
The people expelled from M5S "were four people who were
not even elected to the Five Star Movement who betrayed our
trust and to whom we have prohibited the use of the party
symbol".
