| Message | Mr. Speaker, We can support this move from the ZPP, yet we do feel that there should be a amendment that includes that if private enterprises are being helped that they are obligated to reform and pay the money back in a certain amount of time with interests. A reform should not exists of only firing labor force. Felikso Livianus Minister of Trade and Industry |

| Message | Comrade Speaker, Isn't it quite hilarious that the ZPP doesn't support welfare for the poorest citizens yet does for the rich? Mikhail Slobanosov |

| Message | Mr.Speaker, We take issue with propping up failing business, this discourages the capitalist process and is corporate welfare. We believe the current system suits Zardugal the best. Alexandra Onassis, Prime Minister Leader of the ZLP |
