“We oppose this measure, despite our full support for Article 1. Unfortunately, we find Article 2 unacceptable, as we advocate for the right to assisted dying – to die with dignity – for all. We regard the crackdown on this as a significant and reactionary step backwards compared with the policy currently in force, which is itself outdated.”

| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |

| Radical Republican Union | 21 | No | We oppose this measure, despite our full support for Article 1. Unfortunately, we find Article 2 unacceptable, as we advocate for the right to assisted dying – to die with dignity – for all. We regard the crackdown on this as a significant and reactionary step backwards compared with the policy currently in force, which is itself outdated. |
| Revolutionary Maoist Communist Front | 42 | No | For any consistent revolutionary, this bill on organ donation and end-of-life proposed by the centralist bloc is nothing more than bourgeois hypocrisy. Under the guise of humanitarian progress, it institutes presumed consent for organs, turning the bodies of workers into mere spare parts inventories for the ruling class, while reactionarily criminalizing active assistance in dying under inhumane penalties. This is the total negation of the proletariat's bodily self-determination. We fight it tooth and nail because the bourgeois state, which starves and exploits workers all their lives, has no right to dispose of their bodies in death nor to regulate their ultimate dignity with the penal baton. |
| The United Workers Front | 12 | No | While we accept with article 1, we cant accept article 2 |
