| Message | I agree with you and that is indeed the plan. The redistribution of funding from education and health to productive sectors is to kickstart the economy. Once back to normalcy, it will be redistributed once again to education and health. Science and technology has seen an increase. |

| Message | We hadn't seen the budget of FF when we announce to vote yes, although we think that science budget shouldn't be decreased we don't like that decrease of a nearly 50% on environment and tourism that you propose. We think that Finance Minister and you have to negotiate a middle position, but after comparing both we prefer FF 's budget. |
