Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

Yes

“Freedom of expression and of the press is sacrosanct, and we will do everything to ensure it is respected and upheld. At the same time, however, we believe it is necessary to be mindful of what is written and said, avoiding the dissemination of false information.”

Yes

“It's the death of the socialist caste and state parasites who want to muzzle the people! The State has NO RIGHT to control what we write, what we say, or how we protest. Your regulations, your labels, your corrupt bureaucratic censors—we vomit on them! A free press and the streets belong to free citizens, not to your filthy, power-hungry technocrat hands. The monopoly on information and the control of dissent are over! You're shaking because the awakening of the people is destroying your parasite privileges. It's the hour of total freedom or the tyranny of the caste: we chose the people, we chose freedom.”
