M5S lawmakers protest in Italian parliament, demand release of Delmastro chats

Lawmakers from Italy's Five Star Movement (M5S) staged a visual protest in parliament, brandishing their mobile phones to demand the disclosure of chat communications linked to the Delmastro case. The demonstration occurred during parliamentary proceedings, with M5S deputies holding up their devices under the majority's benches.

Party leader Giuseppe Conte urged the majority to reveal the chats, appealing for "a bit of dignity." The protest extended to the Senate, where M5S senators present for communications from Minister Giorgetti also participated in the symbolic action. This move directly supports the M5S's ongoing #fuorilechat campaign, which seeks to make these specific communications public.

The M5S has consistently called for transparency regarding the chats, arguing their release is crucial for understanding the full context of the Delmastro affair. The party views the refusal to disclose the communications as an attempt to obscure facts and avoid accountability.
