M5S admitted to the left-wing Eurogroup, however “with reservations”: six-month trial interval. “We is not going to vote for von der Leyen”

The EU Left, so far as we all know, has permitted the entry of the 5 Star Motion delegation into the parliamentary group The Lefthowever it’s an admission “with reservations”. The choice was taken by the group’s bureau after talks held this morning, which lasted over two hours, with the MEPs of the M5S. A “trial interval” of “six months” was agreed upon. Based on sources within the Left, the official assertion is taking some time to reach as a result of the precise wording of what’s assured is nothing greater than “a formality”, aimed toward reassuring the group’s delegations who’re most hesitant concerning the Cinquestelle’s entry.

“The MEPs of the M5S shall be a part of the group The Left with full rights. Collectively the battles for the following few months and the no to the encore of Ursula von der Leyen“, sources from the Motion report. With the five-star delegation, composed of eight MEPs, The Left group will increase to 47 members. The M5s would be the second largest delegation after that of France Insoumise.
