Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights	14	No	Value tests are extremely problematic, and questionable, measures. Migrants seeking to integrate into our society should only be asked to follow our laws and learn our language and civics: one thing is to demand to respect our political system and our ethics, but anything pertaining to the sphere of morality (as values) is a whole other matter. The difference can also be captious in terms of testing, which the reason why we see this bill as merely a means to fan the flames of intolerance. ADFR will never allow this.
Competence And Freedom	12	No	Excessive requirements on integration serve no purpose and only create unnecessary hurdles. We believe that the current system is sufficient for decent integration.
Homeland Alliance	10	Yes	We need stronger measures for fairer integration.
Left Forward	21	No	These measures would make integration much more complicated, which is why we cannot agree to them.
