| Message | These proposals will not create jobs, they will ruin the Rutanian economy and for this we cannot stand. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker! First of all, as newly elected Chancellor General of Rutania, I would like to say that Rutania was always a free and open country, with developed economy. Now I will adress this specific topics raised by Confucian League and answer their proposal put in front of National Congress. Ad 1) We already proposed deregulation of stock exchanges several years ago, and currently we do not support any additional regulation, but are ready to review that decision if Confucian League gives us good arguments to do so. Ad 2) This is absolutely unacceptable. It would ruin our economy. Ad 3) We do not support any subsidizing of defence industry, there is no reason for that. We are a pacifist country. Ad 4) RDF in principle does not support any subsidies in economy, we are rather for regulation or for other economic actions to increase our workers' wages. Therefore, now we cannot accept article 4, but are ready to hear some arguments. Ad 5 ) Absolutely not, this is just a socialist policy. Ad 6) Maybe..but not at the moment. Ad 7) We could support article 7 with good arguments. |
