| Message | We are opposed to article 2, as it undermines the independence of the judiciary and throws the justice system in disarray. Furthermore, we are opposed to article 5, because, apart from humanitarian concerns, it will lead to an influx of people who, without receiving any support while being possibly destitute, will potentially turn to criminal activity in order to survive, something that will undoubtedly exacerbate the problems that the country currently faces. As a result, we are forced to vote against this bill. |

| Message | We think Article 3 is one of the most important changes we need. Our current regulation allows the state to elect the judges. With this system independence is lost. |
