Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Conservative Movement	2	No	Lowering the retirement age to 50 while establishing a so-called constitutional right to carry firearms, completely outlawing homeschooling, and scrapping the central identity card register: this bill is absolute nonsense and a permanent public menace! Between unsustainable fiscal demagoguery and the destruction of parental authority, this text turns the DSU's platform into a catalog of sheer absurdity. They are sacrificing the economy, public safety, and our children's future just to pander to the worst populist instincts. Voting no means rejecting chaos, defending the future of our pension system, and putting a stop to the DSU's destructive delusions!
