| Message | Colleagues These omnibus bills are a disgrace to our democracy. Because this way, parties are obligated to choose if they support or oppose all articles based on the numbers of the articles they support. You deny every form of debate for each single article and this way you see the electorate as cattle for your hunger for power. We will fight any form of accumulated bill proposals without any debate phase! |
