5-Star Movement (M5S) founder Beppe
Grillo said Wednesday that the doubts raised about the CV of
Giuseppe Conte, the pick of the anti-establishment group and the
League to be the next premier, was trumped up by Italy's
political "caste".
"The furious, futile, malign gossip-check-up on Professor
Conte started the minute he was named," said Grillo on his blog.
"It's the last throes, a truly ugly show, launched without a
command... It's the caste that is decomposing, which is acting
out of pure instinct for survival".
