| Message | Luisa Iurco - NSU "We think that in this bill there are some good points but also some bad issues arising. We have a pro-choice position on art.1 of the Bill but we are also very worried about the vitality of our Country, we don't need foreign immigrants to fill up missing workers if we have a strong birth rate. Article 2 has to be re-written like: "Government subsidizes higher education tuition to all students from low-income families if worthy. Rich families must contribute with higher tuition fees in order to balance the public expenses to allow equal and fair education to all the worthy students". We do both like article 3 and article 4." |
