Description[?]:
| Mr President, Our party was very contrary to the last reform of media which in our eyes limited freedom of media and freedom of privates to partecipate in media markets which like any market should not bar also profit, that the previous reform simply unfairly demonized. The government will also liberalize the regulations on media because our party is against paternalism from the authorities. Citizens should be free to produce, transmit and view wathever they wants and if parents are concerned for programs in tv and radio, it is up to them to vigilate to their children and today technology allow systems of parental control. It is not the role of the state to dictate to parents how to raise their children. Thank you - Amanda Cattelan, Minister of Education and Culture |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
