Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights	16	No	This is an illiberal, inhuman bill, and we'll make sure to fight it both on the political and legal side by appealing to the Supreme Court if necessary. Article XIV of our Constitution (the Bill of Rights, as we referred to it during parliamentary works) explicitly outlaws the death penalty, as well as any kind of corporal punishment. In particolare, the sub-article IV on Personal Liberties, Section 1 (Life and Physical Integrity): "Every individual has the right to life, liberty and physical integrity. Capital punishment and torture are strictly prohibited." We won't allow the far right to destroy our beloved country and our beautiful Constitution.
