(ANSA) - Paris, February 6 - The head of one of the Yellow
Jackets lists, Ingrid Levavasseur, on Wednesday denied that the
butcher who 5-Star Movement (M5S) leaders Luigi Di Maio and
Alessandro Di Battista met in Paris Tuesday was the spokesman
for her list, but said she would be "honoured" to meet Di Maio
at some point.
She said reports that Christophe Chalencon was the RIC list
spokesman were "false".
M5S leader Di Maio and No.2 Di Battista agreed to cooperate
with Chalencon in view of the May European elections.
Levavasseur said Chalencon "wanted to show off with the
Italians".
She said the meeting with Di Maio "has no link to the RIC
list".
Speaking to ANSA later, Levavasseur said "I don't say we
shouldn't meet Di Maio.
"Quite the opposite, I would be honoured to be able to meet
him, but not now, it's too early.
"I've always said I would like to do so at the end of
February, when we have structured ourselves better.
"But yesterday a meeting was organised behind my back.
"What Chalencon did was dishonourable.
"I'm only sorry that Di Maio was blindsided by all this
situation and it is certainly not his fault".
M5S sources said that they had sought "dialogue but not
alliances".
Chalencon doesn't represent us, wd meet Di Maio -Levavasseur
