| Message | "We're not speaking about status in terms of social class and material goods, but in psychological terms: sport players tend to be more 'popular' and 'beloved' than scientists and businessman, a fact that we think discourages young persons to study and work - activities that add more to society than put a ball on a goalkeeper" - Party President Caroline Hellekin |

| Message | "Even if the Order and Progress Party believes they're not speaking about social class, they are terribly mistaken: This bill reduces the opportunities for people with a lower income to join sports clubs, where they can take part in healthy physical exercise. They simply will not be able to afford joining a sports club anymore. In future, only the well-off will be able to afford organised exercise in their exclusive little clubs, while the consequences for the health of ordinary people will be devastating." Liliana Alves, TDU spokesperson for Health and Social Services |
