Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

The economic programme of Bepp Grillo's Five Star Movement is still a skeleton but the platform will be fleshed out with the help of renowned economists and Nobel prize winners, who are ready to align themselves with the new movement. Les Echos reports that Joseph Stieglitz and Jean-Paul Fitoussi are among those to help to develop the economic agenda, with Mauro Gallegati acting as a coordinator. To shift the gear from protest to proposal, the 163 newly elected - 109 MPs and 54 senators with an average age of 31 - are to get extra training, Gallegati told La Republica. Jean Paul Fitoussi and Bruce Greenwald are helping out.  Over several years, Beppo Grillo has maintained a dialogue with Paul Krugman whose video message is posted on the party's blog.
