“This legislation is a reckless assault on order, tradition, and the very fabric of a civilized society, masked behind the deceitful buzzwords of "inclusion".

| Liberal Front Proposer | 0 | Yes | No reason given |
| Reformist League Of Matterhorn | 0 | No | This law is very contradictory; although we agree on a more liberal society, articles 2 and 4 present restrictions on society that only undermine individual rights. If a teenager wants to work at a kiosk and their parents allow it, they should be able to do so without any problems, Furthermore, the current law already includes regulations to prevent child labor exploitation. Secular education is essential, but we believe we should not eliminate religious schools, which remain optional. In short, a confusing proposal, and that is why we are forced to reject it solely on the grounds of articles 2 and 4. |
