| Message | We oppose laissez-faire economics, as it undermines the power of our Orthodox state. However, we accept the differences between our party and the party of the FNR (although we remind them that it would be more effective for them to put restrictive measures in one manifesto and deregulatory ones in another, as it would benefit their visibilities more that way). |
