Three of the Fifth parties forming the Government had in their program the establishment of a compulsory military conscription and this was formalized with this law, which saw almost all members of the government in favor.

Public opinion, however, was divided by this law, seeing an adult and elderly population tending to agree with the government's decision, while practically all of the youth were clearly in disagreement, providing numerous demonstrations in the most important squares of the cities of Vegno .

These demonstrations, however, were often peaceful and therefore did not see the intervention of the police to appease the calls, but they nevertheless gave an important signal; the slogan was: "''Signor No, Signore!''" (''"Sir No, Sir!"''). The answer was dry, if the words weren't enough, to show the students' opposition to the draft law for the reintroduction of compulsory military service in front of the headquarters of the Vegnian Political Councils through the territory. Armed with scissors and machines, the boys had their companions shaved to zero in the middle of squares. 

In particular the Student Network and the University Union of Cossa organized a presidium just as the Government was presenting the state draft law of compulsory conscription in [[Dilemma Palace]].
