Bill: Looking for freedom act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aurora Libertatis
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 3424
Description[?]:
| Since the reconquest of Pontesi(um) by the Mederagaar dynasty, by pillage, murder and terror, by the help of mercenaries from IML-aligned counties, most of the history of the realm has been marked by racial hatred and a general disregard for freedom. There is a huge lack of trust in the upper echelons of the Jelbek-speaking society in certain members of society. How can the same elite that implemented racist laws, imprisoned and enslaved dissidents, disregarded religious freedom for peaceful congregations and attempted a genocide on several minorities be trusted to sentence citizens of the realm to death, among other things? The Society for Liberation is committed to freedom and shall propose some initial steps to enhance freedom and harmony in the realm. |
