| Message | Franco Ricollo, AI Leader, We disagree with many articles here, yet we need to vote in favor to ensure that we have visibility and to at least show that we still stand for many points in our program. |

| Message | Victoria Nacon, i Verdi! party leader: This bill shows the true nature of the thallerist party; a dividing, fascist and homophobic group of deplorable people who have come here only to enunciate their false claim on Istalian governance. I am proud to say that in a modern democracy like ours the people choose the leadership, and not a single group of ideological fanatics. As far as the AI goes, they need a better explanation how they can vote in favour of article 4, 7 and 9. |

| Message | Franco Ricollo, AI Leader We cannot vote in favor of articles 4, 7, 5 and 9, however that is still the minority of the bill, we would overturn it immediately should this bill pass AND by voting in favor we prevent the Thallers from monopolising a specific electorate. |
