| Message | Meneer de Voorzitter, While we agree with some aspects of this bill others are simply outrageous and jeopardize the national security of our nation. We therefor vote no. Alexander Pach, Congressional Leader of the BDU |
| Date | 08:22:32, September 28, 2019 CET | From | Progressiv Arbeiterpartei (PAP) | To | Debating the KAP - 014 Military Reforms Act |
| Message | Herr Sprecher, Taking the same stance as the BDU in regards to this bill, we also agree to several parts of it, but unfortunately cannot support the heavy decentralization of the structure of our nation's armed forces itself. Volunteer armed forces would lead to a number of logistical hurdles, even if it is tied to population enrollments. With such in mind, we also vote no—But shall be proposing a more moderate form of this legislation on behalf of our own party. Theodor Köhl Parteileiter Progressiv Arbeiterpartei |
