| Message | Members of the Reichstag, I spoke at a rally of thousands of workers yesterday, and they told me that they support this act. I also spoke with Union leaders and they told me that if this doesn't get passed that will go on strike for the rights of the kids and their rights for to strike. I feel like the Deputy leader of the Volkskommunistische Partei and the party itself should be ashamed of a party for the people and the workers. We will hold mass demonstration until the workers and the people that make this nation function get their rights. Wilhelm Pieck General Secretary of the Kommunistische Partei Narikatonisches (Communist Party of Narikatonisches) Member of the Reichstag |

| Message | Children have rights. Additional regulations means freedom of the youth to work if they wish, but in a highly regulated environment, for non-exploitative pay and for less hours. Denying children this opportunity has no positives: it is their choice to work. And, while we generally support the right to strike, certain sectors, ie public health, emergency services etc, must be regulated to ensure that vital services are upheld. Throwing away this legislation will only lead to the deaths of the good people of this country: is that really what the KPN want? We are both communist parties, we both stand for the people. The difference is that we also believe that the people deserve the right to healthcare and to be saved from emergencies whenever necessary. Oh, and we built a large scale public health system, abolished non-luxury tax, installed a socialist tax system, a socialist budget and plenty more while the KPN just nodded and agreed. Truly, it is astonishing you had the initiative to actually act on your beliefs and put a bill to the Reichstag for once. The people agree with one of your, what, three bills? How amazing! Lucie Koch Deputy Leader of the Volkskommunistische Partei (People's Communist Party) Spokesperson for Trade and Industry Member of the Reichstag |
