| Date | 04:16:11, September 10, 2015 CET | From | National Party (NP) | To | Debating the Justice reform |
| Message | Well, when The Communist Party says that prisoners should not work for pay, families should not watch the slayers of their kids punished and the common man shouldn't feel secure knowing that every possible criminal is cataloged, well we accept his bizarre view. - President of the NP, Werner Achterop |

| Message | Dear colleagues, We think we have a right balance by making it mandatory for criminals to give their DNA. Citizens are not criminals in power, they are the honest citizens we must protect from evil. We thus oppose this bill. Siegmund Zieger, DKP spokesperson on Justice |
| Date | 08:28:06, September 10, 2015 CET | From | Zentrum | To | Debating the Justice reform |
| Message | Honorable Members, The party sees some merit in some of these proposals- voluntary work for prisoners may be a part of rehabilitation. However, Article 2 makes a spectacle of murder and Article 3 establishes dangerous precedents for our human rights. As it stands, this bill is unacceptable to the Congress. Vine Fynn, Erste Exekutive auf die Zentrum Kongress |

| Message | Seen the amount of oppositions we changed the third article to a more light modality, that we don't find to help perfectly the work of Justice but that is still better than the one we have now. Anyway, the presence of victim's familiars to the executions of murderers it's completely voluntary and led in private (Usa), so I don't see where the spectacularization is. |

| Message | Dear colleagues, With the changes introduced, we are willing to support this bill. Siegmund Zieger DKP spokesperson on Justice |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
