Beppe Grillo, co-founder of government coalition partner Five Star Movement, has repeated his proposal for an Italian referendum on the country’s membership in the euro.
“Let the Italian people decide whether to stay in the euro, not in Europe but in the euro -- a consultative referendum so that we can have a conversation for a year about a Plan B,” Grillo said in an interview with Ian Bremmer of the G-Zero World weekly online show.
