| Date | 11:29:12, February 06, 2014 CET | From | Popolari per l'Istalia - U.o.L. | To | Debating the Health Care Reform |
| Message | This is not a governative law, because the cabinet is not approved yet. So, because this is a your party's bill and we have never given the ok for this, we abstain from voting. ps. To avoid any crisis of the executive, bills should be accepted by all parties of the coalition in the debate. Do not put the laws to a vote before this OK. pps. A government law must be preceded by the word "D.d.l". |
