The anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement's (M5S) new code of conduct "confirms what I've always
noted...I continue to see many yes men," former M5S member and
Parma Mayor Federico Pizzarotti said Monday. Pizzarotti quit the
M5S on October 3 after being suspended, but not expelled, from
the M5S after being probed for alleged abuse of office over
appointments for the Emilian city's opera house. The case was
dropped in September. The new code replaces a stiffer one in
which members were suspended when placed under investigation. IN
the new code, no sanctions are automatically mandated when
someone is placed under investigation. Pizzarotti reiterated
Monday that he had been suspended "illegitimately".
