Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
The Left	119	No	We oppose this proposal
The Marianne Liberty Alliance	38	No	We do not support this regressive policy that fights against welfare economics
The National Refoundation Front	93	Yes	This conservative bill is a common-sense measure that puts an end to chronic welfare dependency and holds beneficiaries accountable. By establishing mandatory work in exchange for benefits, this text combats welfare dependency, actively encourages a return to work, and restores true value to labor. Rather than fueling reliance on public funds, this reform protects taxpayers by optimizing state spending while boosting our labor market. It is a necessary return to fairness and collective responsibility. We vote yes to promote work and encourage effort!
The Social-Democrats	0	No	We oppose the offer of forced, low waged, labor.
