| Date | 19:01:04, October 25, 2015 CET | From | National Freedom Party | To | Debating the Anti-Terrorist Bill |
| Message | To extend governmental powers to this extent is a fundamental violation of the social contract. The liberalization of judicial powers is a necessity to protect the majority of citizens who are undoubtedly good and innocent. We reject the violation of their fundamental rights just to maybe possibly catch a few bad citizens. The articles in this bill simply do not stand up to a cost-benefit analysis. President Hinojosa rejects the proposals as does the Prime Minister. The NFP unites with the EPB and BCR in denying this bill passage. |
