A proposal by centre-left
Democratic Party (PD) caretaker leader Maurizio Martina will be
"useful" for the assessment of government programmes led by
Professor Giacinto Della Cananea, the anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) said Tuesday.
The M5S parliamentary Whips, Giulia Grillo (House) and Danilo
Toninelli (Senate), said "we have always said that what we want
to do is to start from the issues that concern citizens".
They said "the proposal advanced by Maurizio Martina
represents a useful initiative for the work the scientific
committee for the analysis of programmes chaired by Professor
Giacinto Della Cananea is doing".
Martina earlier listed three policy priorities: poverty,
families and work.
M5S leader Luigi Di Maio has said he will offer a government
contract based on Cananea's work to the PD or, as an
alternative, to the rightwing populist League of Matteo Salvini.
The PD has said it will stay in opposition but the party is
reportedly becoming increasingly split on whether to respond to
Di Maio's overtures or not.
