Italian MEP Isabella Adinolfi is to join Christian-democrat European People’s Party (EPP) adding to the long list of lawmakers who have left the parliamentary delegation of the Italian anti-establishment party Five Star Movement.
Contacted by EURACTIV, Five Star sources confirmed that they are aware that Adinolfi is planning to leave the group and join the EPP. Adinolfi’s entourage has not replied yet to requests for more information.
Sources in the EPP told EURACTIV that three MEPs have requested to join the parliamentary group, including Adinolfi, and their admissions will be voted at the group plenary next Wednesday (28 April). The applicants need to get the majority of the group plenary votes to be accepted.
