The speaker presented the position of the lead committee, which recommends rejecting Draft Legislation 552 SE (with a vote of 6 in favor and 4 against). This stance is based on the understanding that the existing provisions of the procedural and labor laws are adequate, and the application of financial coercive measures is primarily a matter of ideology.

The central issue concerns the stability of legislation, as it is noted that a similar bill has been rejected previously.
