On corruption and vote-swapping, "all political forces must raise the bar, otherwise citizens will no longer come to vote, they will stay at home" "We must absolutely combat this and restore dignity to all politics, not let the judiciary take the place of politics," says the president of the M5S, Giuseppe Conte. From the new Sicilian investigation on the exchange vote comes "confirmation - underlines Conte - that the centre-right absolutely cannot speak on these issues", he adds.
"From North to South it is a general question, which then concerns in particular the Centre-right administrations, which have always been notoriously indifferent to the penetration of corruption.'
