12 September 2019Test of alliance in Strasbourg between the group of European Greens and the M5s. "The end of the alliance with the League has removed one of the great obstacles in the path of a possible alliance of the M5s in the Greens to the EU parliament". This was stated by European Greens' co-president Philippe Lamberts, stating that the M5s "contacted us and asked us to start a discussion" and "we at the beginning of next week, between Monday and Tuesday, we'll talk about it with the group and if will agree we will start a discussion with them "."The discussions must clarify the differences we have with them, in addition to the convergences - specified Lamberts -. But before talking about alliances we must clarify the points that seem problematic". "For example - recalls the co-president of the Greens - one of the points of divergence was the vote to the designated president of the European commission Ursula Von Der Leyen on which we voted against", while the M5s supported it. "Our discussions will serve to clarify all the obscure points, of course I can't put my hand on the fire on how the group will decide, we'll see", assured Lamberts. "But one thing is clear now an obstacle has been removed, once they have broken the alliance with Salvini, but other points remain" to be clarified. "I must admit that on a huge number of issues in the European Parliament the work of the Cinquestelle has been close to ours, but at the same time there have been some issues like Dublin or the future of Europe where there have been differences" between us .
