The ruling anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S) group on Rome's city council want to eject
a dissident member who broke with the group repeatedly, notably
over Roma's new stadium and most recently voting against an
urban revamp plan, sources said Friday.
"The 5-Star Movement has rules and those who respect the
rules are in the M5S. Cristina Gancio has never given any
contribution: let her change her seat, let her move to the
opposition benches in order to free us of a black mark
disfiguring the beauty of our groups," said M5S Whip Paolo
Ferrara.
The M5S at a national and local level has expelled several
members for breaking its rules over the last five years.
Grancio said Ferrara had "offended her" and she had
instructed her lawyers to take measures to safeguard her good
name, reputation and professional standing.
