Roberto Fico, President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Five Star Movement (M5S), announced this Wednesday the birth of a new parliamentary group in his party resulting from the split caused by his former colleague Luigi Di Maio.

The new group is called ‘Insieme per il futuro’ (Together for the Future) and will consist of 50 MPs in the Lower House who followed Di Maio as he left the party.

This is the current Italian Foreign Minister, announcing last night that he is leaving the formation born in 2009 and leading its current leader until 2020 due to differences he has had with former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

The struggle stemmed from Di Maio’s criticism of the “anti-caste” formation’s poor election results, and of a significant part of his leadership, who these weeks had pressured Italy to stop arming the Ukrainian resistance in favor of “diplomacy.”

“The M5S will no longer be the main political force in Parliament,” said Di Maio, announcing his departure.
