Italian officials expressed regret as images from the brawl were splashed across the country’s newspaper front pages Thursday.
A brawl broke out in Italy's parliament on June 12 resulting in the apparent injury of one lawmaker who had to leave the chamber in a wheelchair. Italian officials expressed regret for a brawl in the country’s parliament, with violent scenes from Wednesday’s incident spreading widely as Italy began to host world leaders for the annual Group of Seven summit in Puglia.
“I have no words,'' Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told Italy’s Sky TG24 news channel after Wednesday’s violence. “We need to set another example, not punches to resolve political problems.” During the G-7 summit, which runs from Thursday through Saturday, Italy is welcoming leaders from the European Union and six other industrialized nations, including President Biden. There, leaders will discuss the war in Ukraine and other global issues.
Images from the brawl were splashed across the country’s newspaper front pages Thursday. The lawmakers had clashed over a bill that seeks to grant certain regions further autonomy. Opponents of the controversial proposal say it will further exacerbate the north-south divide in the country and bring more hardship to the impoverished south.Footage taken moments before the brawl shows opposition party member Leonardo Donno attempting to give an Italian flag to Minister Roberto Calderoli.
