The election of the parliamentary
Speakers is not linked to the formation of a government in
Italy's hung parliament, the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S) reiterated Thursday. "We reiterated to the political
forces that we ant to indicate the Speakers detaching these
nominations from the issue of the government and making sure
they are names that represent the popular will that made the M5S
the top political force in the country, and we have seen that
the (centre-left) Democratic Party (PD) and the League are open
to this," said M5S Lower House Whip Giulia Grillo. She was
speaking after talks on the Speakerships, the first task of the
parliament that will sit on March 23. She conducted the talks
with M5S Senate Whip Danilo Toninelli. Giulia Grillo is not a
relation of the M5S's founder, comedian Beppe Grillo.
