| Date | 16:34:09, September 20, 2013 CET | From | The Broad Front | To | Debating the Religion Act |
| Message | We understand and respect your point but truth is, some religions' clothing and symbols might be an insult to other religions and vice-versa. Now, understanding that public buildings are places for all, in which every citizen has the right to feel comfortable being at and in order to avoid problems such as arguments and disputes, we stand for Article 3.
