What’s the context of original image?

According to knowyourmeme, this is a photo from a 2018 session of Japanese Parliament. The guy in the center is calling for a vote on a controversial bill, and a bunch of opposition party members are attempting to physically prevent him from doing so. Apparently this is a thing they do in the Japanese Parliament sometimes?

From the article:
It should be noted that physical altercations are not exactly a rarity in Japanese Parliament
I’m actually surprised. Not because I believe Japanese are passive and peaceful, very false stereotypes.
But this one got me by surprise. Backstabbing and assassination - I could see it, brawling not so much.

I’m now looking forward to Parliamentary Shounen Anime
God that’d actually be amazing.
Then some dude comes out of nowhere in the finale and offs Definitely-Not-Shinzo-Abe with the power of GUN

If you look up politicians brawl or something on an image search, you find a lot of these photos from all around the globe… I didn’t know that was a thing. What a pathetic display.
Japanese Parlament brawl 2015.
