| Message | "Article 4 is contradictory to the rest of the bill, remove it and support will be given" It's not so much contradictory as it is nationalization-lite. The state still takes control, just the prefecture government, not the federal government. We will still remove and place in another bill. |

| Message | No, your proposal gave power to regional governments, whereas the bill itself gave power to the Union's government, which we support. |
