Rome (dpa) - After a heated debate, the Italian Senate approved a security decree, clearing the way for Matteo Salvini's anti-migration laws to be defused.
Only two MPs in the smaller of the two Italian chambers voted against the decree on Friday evening.
Before that, the tatters had really flown during the debate.
Several politicians from different camps had clashed.
As can be seen in the photos, the ushers had tried to tell the parties involved.
Some right-wing Senators had challenged the modalities of the vote the previous evening, as the Ansa news agency wrote.

The politicians then went threateningly in the direction of the seats of the ruling parties, Ansa quoted the politician Dario Parrini from the social democrats involved in the government.
The session had to be interrupted.
On TV pictures one could see how scraps of paper were thrown through the hall.
With the approval, Italy defuses the anti-migration laws introduced under ex-Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
In addition, the fines for sea rescuers for unauthorized entry into ports are reduced from up to one million euros to 10,000 to
50,000 euros.
In addition, the rejection of migrants seeking protection is made more difficult, and the center-left coalition is tightening measures in the fight against drug trafficking, especially online.
The previous anti-migration packages of 2018 and 2019 were influenced by the head of the right-wing Lega, Salvini.
As a minister, he belonged to a center-right coalition with the Lega until late summer 2019.
Conte was also premier back then.
After Salvini moved out, the Social Democrats (PD) joined the five-star movement as a new partner.

Conte had already announced its intention in 2019 to moderate certain regulations.
International associations had criticized this.
However, there was also a long tug-of-war about this in the new coalition in Rome.
