Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Centralist Unity	25	Yes	The acceleration of innovation and the investment in the formation of more qualified professionals is considered by us a national priority in both the recovery and in the future. We vote YES to the bill.
Radical Republican Union Proposer	42	Yes	No reason given
Revolutionary Maoist Communist Front	0	Yes	Although the deregulation of AI favors technological capital and betrays a bourgeois vision that we combat, articles 2 and 3 constitute a major victory for the working masses. Making higher education completely free and extending compulsory education to 18 enables the intellectual emancipation of the people, a goal we hold dear. We therefore refuse to sacrifice the future of the children of workers and peasants out of partisan sectarianism. Knowledge must be confiscated from the elites to be returned to the people, in accordance with our struggle for real equality!
Unified Marxist-Leninist Socialist Pact	1	Yes	Free higher eduction is a net positive for society, but we have concerns about unregulated innovation. AI should only be developed as a State tool, for the people, rather than for corporations. We still support the other measures.
peopleswing	17	Yes	We support responsible AI innovation, education and training until 18, and free higher education. Progress should create opportunity for everyone while protecting people’s rights.
