| Message | An NAC delegate in a radio interview: "Once again the servants of the upper class demonstrate their weakness. The proud people's army that was put fourth through the National Congress is being dismantled for the sole purpose of being able to grant further tax cuts to the rich. They leave our nation defenceless only to reward those who have always betrayed. What is the point of trying to bring about change through legislation? Can you blame the people for taking up arms against this band of thieves?" |
| Date | 12:32:12, January 14, 2007 CET | From | Red Puma Party | To | Debating the The Orange Reforms I |
| Message | The Red Puma Party will support this bill and we enjoy the end of the military service (the point 6 of our programme). We agree with all the articles of this bill except the article 2. We think that if we are attack we must make operation of sabotage in the enemy countrie. We think that this bill give to the government more money for a great social programme, so the Militarist Party has a demagogic vision. Now, we attend social law for the working class.
