[pp.int.general] Partido X - Partido del Futuro vs 5 Star Movement

[Dario]

What Eduardo said is absolutely true.

There is only one public name, the one of the president in Spanish official
registry:

popup will appear, it is how it works).

In my opinion they are really pirates, just with different branding.
Founders come from 15-M movement (Indignados) and they put together several
independent initiatives like Democracy 4.0 (some kind of liquid democracy
on Parliament), etc.
