| Message | Who governs the country is the Prime Minister, not the President, that's why we are against this Bill. This Bill will give many powers to the President who is a ceremonial position in our parliamentary system of government. |
| Date | 09:29:22, April 27, 2017 CET | From | People's Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Federal Code |
| Message | That we accept. The wording was rewritten, so that the Prime Minister has the rights and the Head of State can veto in special occasions. Is that acceptable? |
