| Message | Francesco Giuliotti, Leader of DI-U.o.L.: "We will support this only to assure our support to the government. This is a real attack to our citizens' liberty to do their daily activities! It seems to me we are doing what terrorists want, and I think we shouldn't continue on this path. But, like before said, we will support, because we approved the re-election of the President Verhoeven. Otherwise we wouldn't support this." |

| Message | Giuseppe Al-Walid, Whip of PSLI: "Mr Giuliotti, allow me to respond to your statement. Personally I think the citizens will feel more safe and protect seeing that the Government are take all the efforts to securize the territory. Given the form of the bill and its provisions, these units of the Army will not act actively, in the sense that the main objective is to put into public place some mebers of armed forces just to control and patrol. They will be stationed in train and subway station, they will walk into the promenades of main shopping mall, at the corners of squares, etc... But they will have not right to stop people on the sidewalks, arrest them, search them, etc... And the check post on the rout you see with me that are normal operations in case of kidnapping. Mr Giuliotti, I think that with the last elections the people demanded us to act and take couragious actions." |
