The United Kingdom’s historic referendum to leave the European Union (EU) may have set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the politico-economic bloc. In Italy, the so-called Five Star Movement (M5S) is rapidly gaining traction with a promise to put a Brexit-like EU referendum on the table. Many experts believe that such a move could, ultimately, destabilize the Eurozone and, perhaps, jeopardize the entire region’s economy.
