Opposition up in arms after brawl in Lower House

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 13 - Italy's opposition parties are up in arms after a lawmaker for the 5-Star Movement (M5S), Leonardo Donno, needed medical treatment following a brawl in the Lower House on Wednesday.
    The ugly scenes broke out as the House was examining the government's controversial bill for 'differentiated autonomy', which will enable regions to request more power over how the tax revenues collected in their areas are spent and which critics say will worsen the north-south gap.
    At one stage Donno tried to hand an Italian flag to Regional Affairs and Autonomy Minister Roberto Calderoli, prompting a number of MPs from the governing coalition to rush over.
    A one stage a male MP can be seen attempting to land punches in the footage of the incident.
    Donno ended up on the floor and had to be taken out of the chamber in a wheelchair.
    Donno subsequently said he was all right following medical tests and accused League MP Igor Iezzi of punching him in the face.
    Iezzi denied this, admitting he had tried to deliver punches but had failed to land a blow. (ANSA).
