| Message | Dear colleagues, We cannot help but see that this bill covers much subjects at once. However, some of those are parts of our platform. We feel like we have to vote for this. Still, we would appreciate if future bills could have a narrower scope. Watlher Alberts, Leader of the DKP |

| Message | Dear Mr. Alberts I perfectly understand your concernings, and how you can see our recent history is full of reforms that focused on specific topics to solve, anyway, this is called National Reform because its point is to cover a vast quantity of issues in just one bill without doing tons of them. In future we'll return to the common reforms. Thanks for you opinion and support. Pres. Werner Achterop |
