| Message | “This is simply repugnant. Articles 1, 3, and 4 show a serious disregard for the value of human life, and the inherent sanctity thereof. With regards to Article 2, the HNP was the party that originally introduced the current policy on adultery, we retain our support for it. Article 5 shows a blatant carelessness for public decency. In short, we are fully opposed to this bill.” -Johannes Pieter Styen Chairman of the HNP DM for Graaffsberg South |
