Beppe Grillo on Monday expelled
four activists from his anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S)
after they 'occupied' the stage at the movement's recent Circus
Maxiumus rally.
The four - Giorgio Filosto, Orazio Ciccozzi, Pierfrancesco
Rosselli and Daniele Lombardi - "took advantage of their role as
security officers to occupy the stage," Grillo wrote on his
blog.
The rebel group unfurled a banner saying #occupapalco
(#occupy the stage) to protest Grillo's allegedly high-handed
leadership.
They are the latest in a string of dissidents to be kicked
out of the M5S.
