The anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) wrote on its chief Beppe Grillo's popular blog
Friday it will propose a referendum in Italy on monetary
sovereignty after a majority of the British people voted
yesterday to leave the European Union.
The M5S said it is gathering signatures for a referendum on
the euro "so the Italian people can decide on monetary
sovereignty".
The party said it "has always believed the people must have
a voice on decisive issues" and that the referendum "is the
M5S's preferred way to ask citizens what they think".
The pro-Brexit vote "sanctions the failure of EU policies
based on austerity and the selfishness of member States, which
are incapable of being a community," the M5S wrote in a post
titled 'Europe Must Change or Die'.
"We want Europe to be a community and not a union of banks
and lobbies".
