| Message | Absolutamente contra: arts. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 e 12. Algumas das alterações que propõe roçam o terceiro-mundismo! De uma coisa estamos certos: não contará com os votos do Partido Liberal para aprovar estas propostas de Lei! |

| Message | Quanto à Regulamentação do Ensino Superior, de que trata o Art. 4, como é óbvio a nossa posição está muito de longe de ser concordante com a que está em vigor, mas dessa para aquela que os srs. propõem não vêmos muita diferença... como tal a nossa posição só poderá ser contra isso! |
