Fireworks sparked an emotional debate in parliament yesterday.
An initiative is calling for a severe restriction on the sale of fireworks, especially those that make a noise.
Backers say fireworks cause misery for many people – and animals.
The chamber rejected a nationwide ban but backed a counter-proposal.
Most politicians argued the text went too far, yet many acknowledged the need for clearer, nationwide standards.
Supporters of the counter-proposal stressed the impact on people, wildlife, and pets, calling the plan a balanced compromise.
