| Message | And the people endure the cold, the people endure the lack of food and medicine. Do not talk lightly about the people, for it was your measures that driven our economy to the brink of collapse. |

| Message | You see, this is what the People dislike about the Establishment. The Establishment blatantly lies about what the People can see with their very own eyes. Lourenne's economy is one of the strongest in the world, thanks to our Communist reforms. |
