| Message | Silvano Rogi, Whip of LP: "and someone accused our coalition to be capitalist and to think only to the fat pig of the banks! What is it this? Such a law will generate an Univeristy system highly straticized and with great excellent institution where only the rich will be able to go (most part of the citizens I don't think want to pay for their lives a huge debt) and which will be favorite by the job world. We will vote against!" |

| Message | Michele Serra, General Secretary of EL "I think you misunderstood our bill. Tuition loans will help the poorer students, not the rich ones. And they won't start paying the debt untill/unless reaching a high enough salary. So even if the debt will be high, pazing it won't be a problem." |
