| Message | Η υποκρισία του ΔΗΣΥ φαίνεται πως αυξάνεται όσο η κρίση για αυτό επιτείνεται. Αφού η υποτιθέμενη εκλογική του βάση το απέρριψε στις τελευταίες εκλογές ως πολιτική επιλογή, το εν λόγω κόμμα, σε μια προφανή κίνηση απελπισίας αλλά και πολιτικού αμοραλισμου, αγνοώντας όλο το παρελθόν του και τις διακηρύξεις του, προωθεί μια ατζέντα την οποία έως πριν από καποιους μήνες θα απέρριπτε ως "καπιταλιστικη", "αντιλαϊκή" ή "συντηρητική", προκειμένου να ανακτήσει την πολιτική του δύναμη στηριζόμενο στις ψήφους της "κακιας" Δεξιάς. Το Εθνικό Συντηρητικό Κόμμα θα υποστηρίξει τις παρουσιασθείσες προτάσεις, καλεί όμως σε μια κίνηση καταδίκης τέτοιων περιστατικών πολιτικού αρριβισμου. |
| Date | 15:48:00, January 20, 2020 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the For the present and the future of our land |
| Message | Although we are in favour of the social measures presented in it, we find the economic ideas behind the respective measures rather dangerous for the nation's economy and against the public's interest. For these reasons, as well as the fact that the latter parts constitute a rather inexplicable (if not suspicious) deviation from DISY's original goals, plans and - we may also add- character, we, the Social Democrats will vote against this bill. |
| Date | 16:17:58, January 20, 2020 CET | From | Kalopian Green Party (PKN) | To | Debating the For the present and the future of our land |
| Message | We oppose the bill, especially Article 2. There are some good points in it, but we can't vote in the favore, because there are so much that are not just not great, but dangerous, and restricts the freedom of people. |
| Date | 18:11:12, January 20, 2020 CET | From | Patriotiki Symparataxi (PATRI.S.) | To | Debating the For the present and the future of our land |
| Message | Κάποια άρθρα μας βρίσκουν απέναντι, ενώ κάποια μας βρίσκουν σύμφωνους. Είναι θλιβερό ένα κόμμα να μην έχει ιδεολογία και να αλλάζει συνεχώς το πρόγραμμά του. Θα απέχουμε και θα καταθέσουμε δικές μας προτάσεις. |
| Date | 18:19:41, January 20, 2020 CET | From | ERROR 404 | To | Debating the For the present and the future of our land |
| Message | Πολιτικός αμοραλισμός κύριοι της δεξιάς είναι η συγκυβέρνηση με δυνάμεις της ευρύτερης δημοκρατικής παράταξης, όταν άλλοτε την κατηγορούσατε! Η στροφή του ΔΗΣΥ προς μια ρεαλιστική σοσιαλδημοκρατία και προς το κέντρο γενικότερα, δεν πρέπει να αποτελεί δείγμα κριτικής. |
