| Message | Mr Speaker, we support these cuts unconditionally, however we believe that there are still departments where much more waste has been created by an incompetent government whose only objective is to satisfy the endless greed of their unionized accomplices for unneeded public sector jobs and government-granted privileges.

| Message | Mr Speaker, We deplore the genocidal provisions of this bill aimed at destroying all farmers. Jose Manana DAL chairman |
| Date | 14:03:37, March 28, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cuts to agricultural subsidies |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I take strong exception to Jose Manana's description of this budget as "genocidal". Would he consider withdrawing that accusation? Reducing agricultural subsidies is not murder, it is simply allowing the economy to function more naturally and giving the agricultural sector the opportunity to become more independent. Rafael Duvalle MP Chairman of the Dranish Conservative Party |
