Against: 3 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 0
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative Movement | 3 | No | We will not yield. We will not surrender to the destructive madness of this drug decriminalization. Under the fallacious pretexts of so-called "harm reduction" championed by Karl Braun, it is the moral and public health collapse of our youth that is being prepared for us. Legalizing depressants and psychedelics means opening Pandora's box of addiction, destroying families, ruining public order, and turning our streets into sanctuaries of decay. Make no mistake, this deadly laxity is not progressive, it is pure and simple capitulation in the face of the scourge of narcotics. A state worthy of the name protects its children, it does not sell them their own perdition on prescription. We reject this organized decadence with every ounce of our energy. Freedom is not the right to self-destruct in chemical degradation, and we will block this abomination with all our might! |
| Democratic Socialist Union | 2 | Yes | We support this proposal |
| Libertarian Nationalist Proposer | 0 | Yes | No reason given |
| Reformist League Of Matterhorn | 2 | Yes | We agree, if used responsibly and for medical purposes, it can be beneficial. |
