| Date | 16:00:50, December 13, 2012 CET | From | Matternich's Liberal Faction | To | Debating the Foreign Policy Reform |
| Message | Other than Art.5 of which the Liberal Faction STRONGLY SUPPORTS - we cannot support this legislation. These articles particularly Arts.2, 4, & 6 would be extremely damaging for the national security of this nation! It seems the Devolutionist Coalition has no regard for the security of our nations on their own soil. |
