Quote attributed to Paul Palsterman (jurist at CSC Belgium) from his article "L'allocation universelle, une fausse bonne idée" in Revue Quart Monde n°172 (1999/4). Web search confirms Palsterman authored this article criticizing UBI with arguments matching this quote (equal treatment of unequal situations reinforces inequality, no social efficiency). The vote "against" UBI aligns correctly with his position. Updated source_url from old domain (editionsquartmonde.org) to current domain (revue-quartmonde.org/2676). However, both domains are blocked by egress proxy so I could not directly verify the quote text appears on the page — marking as ai_unverifiable.
