| Message | This goes too far. We feel that the right to vote cannot be restricted and that the police cannot be some government tool to control the lives of its citizens. By expanding police powers to unrestricted levels, we set a precedent that the government can infringe civil liberties. |
| Date | 16:59:54, June 12, 2016 CET | From | Moderate Party | To | Debating the Justice Bill |
| Message | We strongly agree with Article 1, but strongly oppose Article 2. Sadly we must vote against this proposal. |
