| Message | No paramilitaries have caused any issues for the state and have actually only contributed to the defence and security of the nation and her people. If we wish to avoid reciprocal tariffs from other nations and open up the country to foreign investment then it is importan for us to maintain a good degree of free trade. |
| Date | 14:09:22, April 28, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the State Reform Act of 3476 |
| Message | The danger of paramilitary forces they can, at some time, challenge the legitimacy of the state and its right to monopolize the use of force. We, as Government and Parliament cannot authorize this. The possibility of applying tariffs to imports does not mean that they will be applied immediately or in all fields, it simply allows the State to carry out an ISI (Import substitution industrialization) if it wants to. |
