M5S, Piera Aiello leaves the Movement ‘No longer represents me’

“I resign from the 5 Star Movement, which no longer represents me, continuing my activity as a member of parliament.” This was announced by the deputy Piera Aiello in a long post on Facebook in which the Sicilian parliamentarian, a witness for justice, explains the reasons for her dismissal. “I do not hide my bitterness for all the work I have done, not only in these two years as a deputy but also throughout the years as a simple witness of justice, work that has been frustrated by people who have never faced the anti-mafia with the appropriate training ”, Aiello explains that“ after months of self-styled confrontations, of all the parliamentary work there is nothing left. It is always the minister who decides everything and certainly not autonomously ”. “At the local level, mistakes have been made, having selected candidates for mayor without the necessary skills in a reality as complex as Sicily. I don’t want them to consider me an accessory to what happened and to close my eyes to what is happening, “he attacks.

“Over the years I had been passionate about Gianroberto Casaleggio, one of the fathers of the 5 Star Movement, for his innovative ideas, in which the desire for concrete change in the political sphere was evident. There are so many things said by Gianroberto Casaleggio that I share completely and that contributed to my decision to join this great family. I thought it appropriate to make this premise because anyone who decided to run in the name of these ideals should have been a model citizen, fair and observant of the rules and laws and with a clear criminal record. Only in this case would the Movement have represented me, also because over the years I had fought in the name of truth, justice and legality, supporting the witnesses of justice and even accompanying and listening to them in the parliamentary anti-mafia commission. I find myself writing all this because, in two years, I have not seen even the shadow of these ideals implemented “, writes Aiel. On Fb.

“Certainly important laws have been made like the ‘Corrupt Spazza’, the ‘416-ter’, the ‘prescription reform’, the inclusion of the ‘Troyan’ as a tool for wiretapping, but in fact disabled when they are sent to house arrest to life imprisonment of 41bis by means of a simple circular agreed with the organs of the Dap and Minister Bonafede “, attacks the ex-M5S deputy, who continues:” I am also a member of the Antimafia commission where I coordinate the commission of witnesses and collaborators of justice and businessmen victims of organized crime and usury. I coordinated several hearings, about 45, from which all their discomfort arose. Regarding witnesses and collaborators, although they are two very different figures, when listening to them it became clear that these people They have been living in a protection system for years that does everything except protect them ”.

And Aiello, at the end of the post, points out: “I would like to point out that I am up to date with the returns and with the reports that the Movement has requested from the spokesmen, above all I do not feel in any way betraying my voters who have given me the the honor and the burden of being elected to the Chamber of Deputies under the symbol of the Movement ”.
