5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Beppe
Grillo referred to Al Pacino's celebrated film Any Given Sunday
as he commented on Sunday's local-election run-offs. "The M5S
continues to grow at any given election," was the headline of
the post.
"It is a question of a few metres from here to government,"
he said.
"I don't say that out of arrogance, but out of sense of
responsibility. We must have it clear that the hopes of millions
of people lie on this team".
The M5S did not have candidates in most of the big run-offs
on Sunday after a disappointing showing in the first round.
But Grillo stressed that the movement had won eight of the 10
run-offs it was involved, saying this took the total of mayors
it has from 37 to 45, a rise of 20%.
