Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio
said Thursday that malcontents were free to leave his 5-Star
Movement (M5S) amid reports of unhappiness among some within the
anti-establishment group about the direction it is taking.
"Some people, when faced with the victims of (flooding in)
Venice and the drama of the (former) ILVA (steelworks crisis),
prefer to focus on their own interest," Di Maio said.
"They know where they can go. The Movement will not mourn
them.
"The M5S is working with its head down to change the country,
not by feeding behind-the-scenes reports in compliant
newspapers.
"We knew there was a danger that some of us would start
thinking of their own interest.
"Those who want to play the games of others and of the system
can join another party".
