Grillo says Italian press lying about Farage

(see related) (ANSA) - Rome, May 30 - The head of Italy's anti-establishment opposition Beppe Grillo defended his possible future ally of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) from criticism in Italian media. "The Italian press is writing this and that about Nigel Farage," said Beppe Grillo, the leader of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), in a tweet.
    The comic turned politician then urges his followers to "spread the truth about Farage," posting a link to a UKIP press release that outlines the statutes of the European Federalists Party (EFP) that UKIP belongs to in the European Parliament. Among the highlighted statutes are a vow to "oppose xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and any other form of discrimination".
