Conte victim of 'caste's gossip'-Grillo (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, May 23 - 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".
