Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights	16	No	ADFR has never supported any chauvinist bill: denying multilingual rights means denying both our recognised linguistic minorities and the cultural richness of our country. For what concerns our national anthem, we fail to see the point to have it chanted every week: schools are places for our youth to learn and grow, not barracks.
Competence And Freedom	8	No	No reason given
Homeland Alliance	16	Yes	National education should also be part of education so that children can experience traditions and values at home. That is why voluntary learning and honoring of the anthem ist important. No one is forced. Furthermore, it is more efficient to rely on a common language!
