5-Star Movement (M5S) founder
Beppe Grillo on Tuesday officially separated the
anti-establishment group from his blog.
The comedian-turned-politician's blog spawned the
Internet-based movement in 2009.
As a result, the official online platform of the M5S is
www.ilblogdellestelle.it - the blog of the stars.
"There is a future and I want to go and see it," Grillo said
on his blog.
The M5S is aiming to win the reins of government in the March
4 general election.
M5S leader Luigi Di Maio commented on founder Grillo
separating his blog from that of the movement by saying
Tuesday "He started the M5S but it's now going ahead on its own
two legs and is getting stronger and stronger, this without
patricide and without reneging on the past".
Di Maio, chosen as the movement's political leader late last
year, was speaking on top Raiuno talk show Porta a Porta.
