| Date | 04:26:21, July 13, 2008 CET | From | Federal Party | To | Debating the Civilian Control of Populace Law |
| Message | The Technocrats fail to realize that the civilian police force already has specially trained paramilitary forces at its disposition under current Egelian law. Calling in the military would be unnecessary force in the face of unnecessary opposition if the current civilian authorities can manage such situations on their own. |
