| Message | We are still in a state of war, so couldnt we wait until after the war to take the budget back down again? And what justifies the increase in the budget of the minister fo ofreign affairs? |
| Date | 21:56:16, March 31, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2554 |
| Message | I am very confident that the peace agreement will be reached soon. The defense budget wasn' lowered to the prewar levels, it was lowered just a little bit. We need more diplomacy to prevent any more conflicts, the foreign affairs budget was increased by a minimal amount. |
| Date | 22:11:18, March 31, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2554 |
| Message | Ifyou are so confident that peae is at hand, why have you repeatedly blocked the arrest and trial of known war criminals? |
| Date | 22:12:03, March 31, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2554 |
| Message | I just want us to wait until the war is over and then take the budget down to about the prewar level, maybe a little bit higher |
| Date | 22:38:48, March 31, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2554 |
| Message | URP, close does not mean it is done, it means close. As long as we haven't signed a peace agreement an investigation cannot be conducted. |
| Date | 22:46:35, March 31, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2554 |
| Message | Yet we must cut resources for our troops? How noble of you - protect the war criminals and deny the soldiers the funding they need. |
| Date | 22:48:03, March 31, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2554 |
| Message | We are currently not engaged in direct combat. The budget proposed is more than enough to maintain our troops. |
