M5S to 'take parliament to the streets'

(see related) (ANSA) - Rome, July 28 - An assembly of MPs from the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) decided Monday to take to the streets in protest against a government Constitutional reform bill that would revamp the Senate, drastically cutting its members and turning it into an assembly of regional officials with limited lawmaking powers.
    The idea of "taking parliament to the streets" was advanced by their leader, firebrand comedian-turned-politician Beppe Grillo during a meeting in the nation's capital. The rank-and-file will now decide whether the protest will be for a day or a week, M5S sources said.
    "We are at war, but ours is a democratic guerrilla war," Grillo had said earlier on Monday, promising "no shock actions or mass resignations".
    His remarks came after some 100 mostly M5S Senators walked off the Senate floor last Thursday in protest after the government decided to limit speaking time in an effort to get through a barrage of 7,800 amendments filed by opponents of its reform bill.
