Vendola eyes new govt majority after Grillo opening-update 2

(see related) (ANSA) - Rome, March 4 - Nichi Vendola, the leader of the Left, Ecology and Freedom (SEL) party, on Wednesday called for the establishment of a new government coalition after 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Beppe Grillo said he was ready to talk to the executive about RAI reform and proposals for a basic income. "Do we want the RAI to belong to the citizens and not to the parties or the government?," Vendola said via Twitter. "Do we want a minimum income, like in the rest of Europe, as a response to poverty? In parliament a (different) majority is possible. Let's form it. Now". SEL and the M5S are currently opposed to Premier Matteo Renzi's executive, which is supported by a coalition led by the premier's centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and backed by several centrist groups.
