“The M5S will not give support to a “confidence vote” for a technocrat government, and it’s never said it would. There’s no such thing as a technocrat government in the natural world, but just political governments supported by parliamentary majorities. The Monti government was the most political government since the second world war. Nobody before that had ever raised the issue of the Italian Constitution’s article 18 in defence of workers. The technocrat President of the Council is an enormous fig leaf so as to hide the real government responsibilities of the PDL and the PDminusL." Beppe Grillo

“I have never spoken about supporting a technocrat government. The only solution that we propose is a 5 Star MoVement government that immediately puts into effect the first 20 points of the electoral programme and after that, all the other points. Our programme is clear and it has been announced in all the town centres and in direct streaming online. Yesterday in the press conference we stated things clearly without room for doubt. Get used to those who say “yes” to mean “yes” and “no” to mean “no” without the need for interpretation. We’ll need to spend a few days getting things ready, so we parliamentarians need you to leave us space to do our work. We are guaranteeing coherence, we will keep the boat moving forwards, our revolution is cultural, peaceful and democratic and we will not stop it. Our only sense of responsibility is to the voters that have given us a mandate to put this cultural revolution into effect and it is already happening in spite of the resistance of those that are attached to armchairs and privileges." Vito Crimi, spokesperson leader of the M5S in the Senate
