| Message | Friends of the Traditional Party, thank you for the proposal. We of the PCP believe that Article 1 could be talked about in a serious manner we would be willing to listen. That's some of the problems with the bills that amount a lot of proposals together. Some of them could get proper debate and don't. That's an example. We would still be oposition to the idea, but we would love to talk about it. Article 2 is not something we would agree, not unless our country was in great emergencial need of funds. Even still, we would propose other ways out. Article 3 we feel it would be an regression, if you excuse our passion. We now offer free telephone lines to all of our citizens. Every single one of them. Why would we wanna change that, my friends? That would only beneffit the companies. Article 4 proposes an change in something the social movement conquered after much struggle and fight. Working relations are now more sensitive when it comes to workers' rights, and this law is one of the reasons. We don't think it should be changed.
