| Date | 20:22:59, March 29, 2015 CET | From | The Democrats | To | Debating the Socialist Confederalism |
| Message | We suggest the following: Head of State: 'President of the Federal Union' Head of Government: 'President of the Concil of Ministers' or 'President of the Government' though typically called just prime minister, in the same manner as in Spain and Italy; Gaduridos is an emulation of these countries, after all. If these changes are made, we will vote in favor. |

| Message | ...President of the Council** obviously. |
| Date | 21:57:33, April 06, 2015 CET | From | The Democrats | To | Debating the Socialist Confederalism |
| Message | The Revolutionaries are apparently too fundamentalist and non-compromising to agree on a republican, democratic form of government. |
