| Message | Andreas Solietvenko, head secretary and member of the HCP, published an editorial in the HCP newspapper "The Red Gazette" about this bill: "Dear friends, allies and comrades from all of Hulstria. Sad times are these when a citizen cannot fully use the public spaces of its country. Any law that goes like this one must be fought, and fought hard! The HCP, always in the forefront of the people, is here to fight, now and forever. For Hulstria!" |

| Message | "Such a wide range of ultimately divisive measures only stand to endanger the rights of our people if passed in one swift strike. We would prefer to discuss these individually. In addition to this, no time was offered for debate before the bill's passing. Democracy is only sustained when everyone's voice is heard. The Seiki Shi will abstain." - Danchó Kuroguma |
