(ANSA) - Rome, November 21 - Anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) bigwig Alessandro Di Battista said Monday he
would not be standing at the next general election early next
year.
"But I'm not leaving the movement, that will never happen,"
he said on Facebook.
"It's like a second skin".
Di Battista said he would go on a year's sabbatical and write
a book, his second after Better Free, which some have likened to
Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries.
