ROME (Reuters) - Italy's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement came under fire from opponents on Tuesday following media reports that some of its parliamentarians had broken party rules obliging them to give half their salaries to a fund to help small businesses.
The 5-Star news came amid a fierce battle for votes ahead of the March 4 national election. The movement is the most popular party going into the vote, polls show, but is trailing a coalition of right-wing parties.
