Anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio on Monday started what he
called a three-month "rally" he said would prepare the M5s to
take power in elections early next year.
"It won't be a simple tour, it will be a rally!," Di Maio said
on the blog of M5S founder, comedian Beppe Grillo.
"In motor racing a rally is a race that you don't do on a
track, but on tarmac or stony public roads; you go forward at
night too, with the bad weather, the fog or snow and there is no
twisting road you can't travel on because every second is
precious".
Italy is to hold a general election some time between March
and May next year.
The M5S is currently Italy's top party.
A new electoral law penalises it because it encourages
parties to form coalitions, anathema to the anti-establishment
party.
