Giorgio Napolitano was "one of
the worst presidents" in the history of the Italian Republic,
the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) said in a statement
by its Lower House and Senate whips, Andrea Cecconi and Alberto
Airola, after the 89-year-old resigned as head of State on
Wednesday.
The M5S frequently accused Napolitano of not properly
conducting his role as an independent arbiter of Italian
politics, saying he favoured the established parties, and it
failed in a bid to have him impeached.
"We won't miss him," said the statement by Cecconi and
Airola.
They also called on Napolitano to forego his right as an
ex-president to become a Life Senator.
