| Message | Members of the National Assembly, What we have now is a fully private system. We are investing in educational and information, not wasting money. This is money very well spent and I encourage our government to vote against this bill. This bill is not about 'selling burdens', it is about withdrawing our investments in the education of our people. The FN is proposing that we dumb our citizens down. Education is not a burden. We do not own these companies! Furthermore, the entire package of this bill is wrong. We are creating jobs by investing in these companies, and we are not banning others from having their own private stations. The Front National have mixed up 'owned' with 'subsidized'.
