| Message | "Mr Speaker, I would like to hear opinions and arguments of our coalitional partners - Imperium Party and Confucian League, why they don't support this bill. RDF holds an opinion that its is better for some company, if failed, to pass through bankruptcy process quickly and to quickly become an object (and subject) of further private investments. It is cheaper than to nationalize it or to hold it in agony by government subsidies. It's better for the whole economy and the society. If not, we risk an option of government bankruptcy, instead of letting more place for private investors and their impact on economy and recovery of failed industries." Bruno Wagner, MNC President of RDF |
