The House on Wednesday confirmed
its confidence in Paolo Gentiloni's government in a vote on the
Milleproroghe decree that garnered 337 ayes, 197 nays and two
abstentions.
The decree, containing a hodgepodge of measures tacked on to
the 2017 budget, is expected to be definitively passed at about
noon on Thursday.
Taxi drivers across Italy have protested a measure in the
decree allegedly favouring car-hire service Uber, with a Rome
demo marred by violence Tuesday.
A six-day nationwide taxi strike ended after government
mediation Tuesday night.
