The Campania branch of the
Italian journalists' guild disciplinary council on Wednesday
called Deputy Premier and 5-Star leader Luigi Di Maio to explain
his derogatory remarks on the media coverage of Rome Mayor
Virginia Raggi after she was cleared of lying over a senior
appointment Saturday.
Di Maio called journalists "low-down jackals".
On Tuesday Di Maio said he would give up his parliamentary
immunity form prosecution in the case.
Another senior 5-Star figure who is no longer an MP;
Alessandro Di Battista, called journalists "whored and hacks"
for their coverage of the Raggi case.
