Date | 19:15:12, January 14, 2020 CET | From | Life, Liberty, Property Party (LLPP) | To | Debating the IPB-08 - Eminent Domain Act (EDA) 4695 |
Message | The LLPP absolutely detests this bill. Private property is private, and should only be seized for vital public interest, with proper compensation. This bill would just be another step to dictatorship, which is not surprising being the IPB's recent track record. |
Date | 23:35:36, January 14, 2020 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party (MRP) | To | Debating the IPB-08 - Eminent Domain Act (EDA) 4695 |
Message | The government shouldn't be allowed just to take private property AND not compensate victims. This is creating a dictatorship and even in the law, it states "victims,' a negative word. |
