| Date | 13:31:00, February 25, 2021 CET | From | Parti Socialiste Populaire | To | Debating the PSK OMNIBUS 1 - Centralization |
| Message | The Parti Socialiste Populaire cannot accept these proposals, as we believe there must be some level of devolution. However, we admit that devolution needs more clarity, and will shortly propose a predominantly bill using ID articles (see http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=639619) to specify what is devolved and what is not. - Eugène Vérany, PSP candidate for Minister of Internal Affairs |
