Description[?]:
| (OOC: Visibility bill) Anna de Franco, Leader of NS: "we are facing the rise of another political force which want sell off and tear up the safety and rights of consumers and workers. They said we need of less regulation. I say that currently our economy is already seriously under-regulated and with large gift, especially the esemption by the corporate tax when they should contribute for the welafare of their workers in spirit of cooperative and particepative social economy. The multinationals and the profits could not come first than the well-being of those who are the real engine of our industries and our economy, our workers to whom we say that we are still here and we will always be here to fight at your side, and to defend the social gains for which the country is a beacon throughout the world! And we believe that to fight those which want gain on the skin of costumers and workers, that state should be able to manage directly business crucial for the society like water or electrique distribution companies or services companies like insurance or credit institute and all these activities with high social involvement and high risk for the workers." |
