ITALY BREAKING:  FIVE STAR CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT, UNIPARTY POLITICIANS DEFEND HIM



"I'm profoundly p***ed off , that after weeks of work, in half an hour they told us that this government should not come to life."


League leader Matteo Salvini reacts after Italy's President rejects government from the                                                                 outsider political parties 5/27/2018


"Why don't we just say that in this country, it's pointless that we vote, as the ratings agencies, financial lobbies decide the governments?'


Five Star leader Luigi DiMaio in Facebook video following the rejection of on outside party                                                   government by Italy's President 5/27/2018


Giuseppe Conte dropped his plans to form a new government in Italy comprising the outsider political parties (Five Star Movement and The League) when President Sergio Mattarella (a former politician of the Uniparty "Left") rejected the choice of Paolo Savona as the country's finance minister in a new government.

Savona is a known Eurosceptic (Euroskeptic) who is suspicious of the European Union and has said in the past that Italy may need to pull out of the Euro currency.  Mr. Salvini denied any intention of the new government planned but thwarted to do any such thing.

Savona was strongly supported by the anti-Establishment Five Star Movement and Five Star leader Luigi DiMaio reacted by calling for the impeachment of President Mattarella stating that:  " ,,,,I say that is necessary to put the president under a state of accusation"

DiMaio went on to say:

"It is necessary to parliamentarize everything, in part to prevent reactions from the people.  First we should activate Article 90 and then have elections because it is necessary to parliamentarize this crisis"


Under Article 90 of Italy's Constitution the President of Italy can be impeached by a majority of Parliament in a joint meeting of both Houses with all 945 members.

Meanwhile, Matteo Salvini of  The League expressed his disgust with the situation and the need for new elections: 

"But someone under whose pressure said No.  Never again slaves.  Italy is not a colony.  At this point with the honesty, coherence and courage of always, the words must go back to you."


Uniparty politicians in Italy were quick to rush to the defense of President Mattarella including the leader of his old party, the "Left" PD (Democratic Party) and with his always strong and passionate voice, the Uniparty "Right" leader and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Berlusconi called talk of impeaching the president "irresponsible" and said the "savings" of Italians needed to be defended with financial markets reacting negatively to the prospect of an anti-European Union government taking power in Italy.

President Mattarella summoned a former International Monetary Fund official, Carlo Cottarelli, to form an "interim government" with Cottarelli saying he will hold new elections by early next year.

At best Cottarelli can only hobble together a minority of "mainstream political parties" in Parliament with the Five Srar-League majority moving in a different direction.

Also weighing in Five Star's founder-leader comedian Beppe Grillo:

"I went out this morning and I saw this depressing thing, people not speaking, with empty looks on their faces, as if they had been replaced by an alien like in a sci-fi film.  Why aren't people talking?  Why are people depressed?  Because they're talking in the place of millions of Italians: the market.  The market today is the pseudonym of the most depressing and predatory capitalism that we have in Italy."
