Thousands marched in Rome in rival anti- and pro-migration rallies after a far-right initiative gained enough support for parliamentary discussion, with tensions between opposing groups and concerns over discriminatory policies.

• Tens of thousands of people marched in Rome in rival anti- and pro-migration rallies following a far-right initiative's petition for parliamentary discussion on migration measures.
