| Message | "This is a blatant attack on the workers which are the backbone of this country's prosperity. The fact that some parties in this country want to cut the minimum wage and make people poorer is disgussting. What horrors have hardworking people committed to deserve a cut in their salaries? Combined with this, the right want to introduce laws which will allow utility bills to skyrocket. Why are the right so intent on fuelling poverty in Istalia?" - Stefania Caccese, General Secretary |

| Message | Beniamino Massa, AI Leader, I thank Ms. Delfina for the warm welcome. Furthermore, this bill is only for the people, as it will force corporationsubjects to lower their prices, in order to make the purchasable by their customers. Right now, corporations can do whatever they want with prices, and they know demand will not drop, as the generous state will pay. Now they will have to think twice about keeping prices so ridiculously high. |

| Message | Gemma Furmani, FR vice-charwoman Though it is preaty surprising, but we are split on this bill. We support article 1, 2, 4 and 6. We think that we will abstain, as giving our citizens more freedom is neccesairy. Though if the bill passes, we are going to reverse the effect of article 8, as it is just a disgusting effort to worsen the state of our democracy and the freedom of workers. |

| Message | Arcadio Campini, FR chairman Dear friends, We are very sorry, but we cannot support this bill. We hope that you will understand us. We cannot allow to limit the power of the workers, which is still very limited. We cannot allow to fire hardworking Istalians just because they want their voice to be heard. Once again, we cannot support this bill, but there are articles with which we agree. |

| Message | Davide Tajani, Leader of LP: "Hon. Collegues, an election occured and if before it we would also support the bill, now we cannot. The Article 5 is against all the most basic principles that LP has always supported and despite the great changement and the shift of my party in the last decades, we still support the most large rights possible for the workers." |
