| Message | Lorenzo Verhoeven, Leader of PSLI: "And again we have to talk, as well as in the defence bill, of the incoherence and the lies of the worst element of the U.o.L., that I call the national plague of Istalia, the Populars, which, as said in other occasions, before hardly attacks the State and its presence in the economy and in society, touting to eliminate the influence of the state which would only act in distorting the market, crushing the free enterprise and especially wasting public money. Yet, Honourable representatives of the Nation, once again the Populars are proposing to give taxpayer money to private activities which would be in this way greatly favored at the expense of competition and other individuals business who would find themselves competing with these "old friends of the PPI" that, unlike them, they can count on lavish state funds! This is the idea of the Populars on how to ensure the freedom of enterprise, market competition and protection from the oppressive government intervention, as it has been defined by them? This is a shame! As well as their usally bigot fear of the sex! Here me Mrs Ceglini: SEX, SEX, SEX! What? Did you never do it? The nation don't care of the sexual repression and of the medieval prim of the PPI, our young citizens should be prepared to face the sexuality, to avoid sexual deseases, undesired teen pregnancies and above all to experiencing without fear and prejudices the discovering of their sexuality! Again today we say to you: Shame! Shame! Shame!" |

| Message | Francesco Giuliotti, Leader of DI-U.o.L.: "This is the real freedom of choice, dear Verhoeven. In your legislations you didn't allow schools to choose, with our new law they can. And this is also a devolution, because we leave the decisions to local schools." |

| Message | Lorenzo Verhoeven: "And what about the funds for the private school? How this have to improve the freedom of business if there are someone which can have money directly from the state? Where is the freedom of the competion in the economy? And Mr Giuliotti, your are saying what? Choice? The freedom of choice would be if you will leave he decision at least at the family, because if a school does not offer a sexual course, there is not choice: the young which go to schools without sexual course could only choise to not do sexual course, or to choice they and their family should change school? Choice... Choice to search a school which offer sexual course! And what ridicoulus kind of choice is it? Choise... Mr Giuliotti, DI has proved great gestures of responsability and intelligence, but reading this statements... You fall badly!" |

| Message | Francesco Giuliotti, Leader of DI-U.o.L.: "And what about your mad devolution? You left to regions also smoking regulation, so in a region there could be a government that ban smoking and in another region a government that totally unregulate it! And also for all the other services devoluted to local governments, what about freedom of choice? Choice to move to another city?" |

| Message | Lorenzo Verhoeven, Leader of PSLI: "Mr Giuliotti, do you vote to elect who will dirige your school? An expert politicians like you are saying that a local government is managed at the same of a school? If the managing head of a school would be elected by the citizens, so, I can understand this decision. But, the difference is: A local government will respect the will of the citizens and if the citizens vote for a government that deregularize the smoking policy, it's a popular choice. But the heads of a school are not elected by the citizens, the decision to do or not the sexuality course it is decision only of the director of the school, or of the teacher council, etc... all of them are not choice by the people. Can you see the difference? And... respond with another question is the sign that you are not answers to my question Mr Giuliotti! Really a "good impression" toward the nation and the voters! Another badly fall Mr Giuliotti, it would be better remain silent I think!" |

| Message | Lorenzo Verhoven: "and now all the private school are subsized? So... what kind of difference there is between give money to this kind to industry from other sector? Ah... the incoherence! This is state interventism! Give public found which could be used to support social services... I think that this school, as private, demand tuition and other fee to the costumers. no? Ah... ridicule!" |
