| Message | "We believe that the current provision is fair enough, and see no reason why the issue needs to be resolved at the local level. Local governments will not have the funds and perhaps the ability to subsidize the operations of poor farming families. We cannot vote in favor." Cristiano Martín Party Chairman |
