Critics of the document believe that the bill will exacerbate the gap between the northern and southern regions of Italy.

During the discussion of this document, the MP from the Five Star Movement (M5S) Leonardo Donno tried to present the Italian flag to the Minister of Regional Affairs and Autonomy Roberto Calderoli, which provoked some MPs from the ruling coalition to run up to the minister and defend him.

The deputy was caught on video trying to throw a punch. Donno himself fell to the floor and had to be carried out of the hall in a wheelchair.

Iezzi was suspended for 15 meetings and Donno was suspended for four. Three more representatives from the Brothers of Italy party, one representative from the League party and one representative from the Democratic Party were suspended for seven meetings.
