Italy's Senate saw heated exchanges during the final vote on the 2025 budget law.

Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva, clashed with Senate President Ignazio La Russa over disruptions during Renzi's speech.

Renzi accused La Russa of ignoring opposition voices, calling him "Camerata La Russa," a term loaded with historical connotations.

La Russa retorted, urging Renzi to "not escape the truth.

" The budget law, which includes tax cuts and support for families, passed with 112 votes in favor.

However, the process faced criticism for limiting parliamentary debate, with some calling it a "de facto monocameralism.

" Despite the tensions, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni praised the law as a step toward a stronger and fairer Italy.
