5-Star Movement (M5S) leader and
ex-premier Giuseppe Conte said Thursday that others were to
blame for the M5S's decision not to take part in a confidence
vote on a government decree, effectively pulling its support for
the executive.
The decree on aid for the cost-of-living crisis incudes a
measure on plans for a waste-to-energy plant in Rome, something
the M5S opposes.
"The M5S gave its support from the start to this government...
with the cornerstones of the ecological transition and social
justice," Conte told reporters.
"If then you have blackmail in which measures contrary to the
ecological transition enter a decree, we will never give our
vote.
"Those who forced things in this way they should take
responsibility (for what has happened)".
