DiEM25 to Italy's Five Star Movement: Dare to change Europe

As the status quo crumbles away, we need neither surrender to the Brussels democracy-free zone nor return to the cocoon of the nation state, but develop an ambitious agenda of radical reform for Europe.

Today more than ever, such an agenda needs to be picked up by a plurality of citizens and social and political forces across Europe. This is why DiEM25 has met with representatives of the Five Star Movement as reported in the press.

The Italian-language article discusses the transformation of the European policy of the Five Star Movement following engagement with DiEM25. Notably, in its moving away from a directly anti-European stance and towards integrating demands for a democratic transformation of the Union.
