ANSWER: 5 Star Movement
 
The 5 Star movement/Movimento Cinque Stelle or M5S was founded six years ago by 67 year old maverick comedian Beppe Grillo and Gianroberto Casaleggio, a web strategist, on 4 October 2009. It gave way for the rise of anti-system parties across EU including Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece. The leader and candidate for 2018 elections will be chosen by ballot of online nature conducted among the members of this movement. In the European Parliament the M5S is under the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group. Its slogan is “One is worth one” and its headquarters are in Genoa.
