Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Movimiento Liberal Nacional	0	No	Votamos en contra de esta reforma porque profundiza la intervención del Estado en la economía mediante el control de precios en los alquileres y la estatización de sectores clave. Estas medidas asfixian la libre competencia, desincentivan la inversión privada y limitan la autonomía económica de los ciudadanos.
The Left Proposer	0	Yes	No reason given
The Marianne Liberty Alliance	59	No	We cannot support nationalizations nor rent caps that drive up housing prices and force aggressive harmful gentrification
The National Refoundation Front	135	No	This far-left program, led by Antoine Fournier and The Left, is a true poison for our economy and our freedoms. It is a dangerous, destructive, and profoundly collectivist project aimed at destroying the very foundations of our prosperity. Rent controls pegged to inflation will paralyze the real estate market, cause a chronic housing shortage, and discourage private investment. Nationalizing natural monopolies means resurrecting the worst eras of inefficient, burdensome, and corrupt state management. Finally, banning new faith-based schools while weakening traditional reference points betrays a dogmatic desire to regiment society. Let us make no mistake: The Left is not seeking justice, but total state control over citizens. We have rejected this Marxist folly to preserve freedom, enterprise, and the future of our nation.
