In the morning, the "telephone discussion" between Nigel Farage and Beppe Grillo, from the first afternoon of the meeting of the group. The decision, communicated by the same leader of Ukip: "we will Continue to work together in the group Efdd. I am happy to say that all disagreements with the movement of Beppe Grillo have been resolved in a friendly way". In the evening on the blog the comment of the leader M5S: "We have renewed the agreement, waiving the right to the position of co-chair, which up to now has been occupied by David Borrelli". Translated: after the attempt of the grillini to converge inAld, failed to not of the group of liberal and pro-european, the pentastellati are, by all effects in the Efdd. And Grillo promises to continue the usual battles on the "role of the single currency", on "the absurd international treaties such as the TTIP" and the "overcoming of the Dublin regulation".
On the blog the attack on Verhofstadt – "The whole system shook – is the analysis of Cricket – Verhofstadt, who today serves as a negotiator for the Brexit should not only be ashamed, because petty has bent to pressure from the establishment". "Failed toagreement with the Alde group, we have respected the will expressed by the network by applying the second choice most voted by the certificates remain in the group Efdd", writes the leader of the Cinquestelle. Denies the existence of a draft proposal of agreement with the Alde: "The cards made circular does not belong to us, we have not signed any contract, this is a list of common points and contrast". And thanks David Borrelli for having "brought forward a negotiation to try to make more effective the implementation of our program, that we will continue to carry on in the Efdd".
Farage: "he Who has betrayed you, pay" – In today’s meeting, in addition to the european parliament pentastellati, was also present for Farage. The leader of Ukip, according to documents from the internal, after having announced his conversation with Grillo, he stressed that the "marriages end" "you can also" establish, if at all, those who has betrayed, pays". The output of the form of 17 members of the M5S would have led to the ” loss of staff (about twenty officers of the group), the exclusion of access to positions in the Boards parliamentary and the power of influence on the main file.
the survival of The Efdd – At the same time, however, the release of the pentastellati would put in serious jeopardy the very existence of the group Efdd, which is currently composed of 44 parliamentary. Without the 17 Italian, it would have been only 27: just two more than the minimum limit of 25 (in the representation of seven different nationalities) are allowed in the european Parliament for the constitution of a parliamentary group. Also Ukip would then be in danger of finding ourselves in the ranks of non-subscribers. For these elements, then, Farage and the members of the group have decided to take back the grillini. The option to remain in the Efdd, the rest, was the second most voted on the blog (after the entry in the Ald), while the hypothesis of get among the 'non-members' was the third preference expressed by the Network.
The program the M5S in Europe – "our program does not change to a comma and would not have changed with entry of another group," says Cricket in his long post, then lists, "a compendium of the battles that we have fought, we will continue to fight in Europe". The first point relates to theEuro:, "a system that has generated a surplus in favour of the Germany. The single currency should be subject to a popular referendum". Then the political battles against the "absurd international treaties as the TTIP, the CETA and the granting of MES to China." With regard to the immigration issue, the M5S wants to "overcome the Dublin regulation".
"No" to sanctions on Russia – Grillo stood up against the sanctions to Putin: "The Russia is an economic partner and an ally against terrorism, not an enemy. The 5 Star Movement has fought and is fighting for the immediate cancellation of the penalties to Russia that cause losses millionaire moguls of our small and medium-sized enterprises, resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs". It is the last point of the "compendium": first are highlighted other themes, from the "full transitions" energy battle "against the marketing of Gmo" and "pesticides," but also the " absolute priority to the themes of the network and technological development".
