Chaos erupted in the Italian Parliament after one deputy was attacked while trying to hand over the Italian flag to another deputy regarding a local government bill. The altercation occurred during the presentation of the autonomy bill, when Minister of the "Five Star Movement," Leonardo Dona, descended from the platform during the meeting and attempted to deliver the flag to Minister of Regional Affairs Roberto Calderoli during the parliamentary session.
Speaker of the House Lorenzo Fontana decided to remove Dona from the chamber, after which he was surrounded by representatives from the ruling coalition. A scuffle ensued and escalated into a physical confrontation, resulting in Dona being injured and transported to the hospital in a wheelchair. It is noted that the bill presented by Giorgia Meloni's government calls for additional autonomous rights for individual administrative regions in Italy, a move that has been criticized by the opposition.
