Voting record

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

“Votamos en contra de esta ley porque representa un avance del estatismo y una carga fiscal innecesaria para el país. La llamada educación superior gratuita y las regulaciones rígidas en el mercado laboral no son gratis: terminan financiándose con los impuestos de todos los ciudadanos y distorsionan la economía. Desde nuestra visión liberal, creemos en la libertad individual, en la libre competencia y en que los recursos se gestionan mejor desde el sector privado y los acuerdos voluntarios entre ciudadanos y empresas, sin la intromisión asfixiante del Estado.”

Yes

“We support the greater choice in education and the choice for parents to choose whether they seek parental leave instead of it being forced on them.”
