The Democracy News : In Rome, the lower house of Italy experienced turmoil and disorder due to a contentious government proposal, leading to the hospitalization of an opposition member of parliament. A video of the Wednesday debate, showing several parliament members attacking 5-Star Movement's Leonardo Dono, circulated widely.
Dono, who opposed the government proposal, sparked chaos by attempting to hand the Italian flag to Regional Affairs Minister Roberto Calderoli. Italian media sources reported that Dono sustained head and chest injuries and was subsequently hospitalized.
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani publicly denounced the incident, emphasizing the importance of resolving issues without violence. Critics of the controversial proposal argue that it will exacerbate the north-south divide in Italy.
