An amendment to a bill against
violence against women setting prison terms of up to six years
for revenge porn was approved by the House Tuesday after a row
last week.
The vote was unanimous - 461 ayes and no nays.
The amendment was described as "united".
The opposition, both on the centre left and on the centre
right, said they were satisfied and so they gave up on filing
sub-amendments.
Last week the government pulled an amendment on revenge porn
sparking an outcry by the opposition which led to the session
being suspended.
The centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) and the
centre-right opposition Forza Italia (FI) party gave a standing
ovation after the measures making revenge porn a crime was
passed.
"Women united have won, once again," said PD MP Giuditta
Pini.
