| Message | The Progressive alliance reveals they are a totalitarian party who pal around with these anarchist terrorists. |
| Date | 23:26:26, October 20, 2015 CET | From | Folkepartiet (People's Party) | To | Debating the Anarcho-Syndicalist Action on Religion |
| Message | Folkepartiet is absolutely appalled that PA would advocate such a blatantly restrictive policy on religion, which is after all a force for tremendous good and charity in our society. Charity, I should add, that is actually regarded as profit to be taxed now. Wilbert Bertelsen (FP - Hent) FP Leader |
| Date | 23:42:08, October 20, 2015 CET | From | Borgerlig-Demokratiske Union | To | Debating the Anarcho-Syndicalist Action on Religion |
| Message | Mr Speaker, this bill is a disgrace. Freedom of religion is a necessary implication of freedom of conscience and free speech, which are essential prerequisities of any liberal-democratic society. The charitable services provided by churches and religious communities are some of the most important pillars of the Kazulian social safety net, precisely because they do not rely on the state and because it promotes the significance of personal compassion and social conscience among our citizens. This bill would criminalize these vibrant, priceless activities out of a motivation based on condemneable ideological extremism. Hannah Hermansen (FV-Agatha) FV Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We expected such a reaction form the plutocratic parties which rely on religion, and in the case of the DKP, ethnic elitism to subdue and force into submission the masses by feeding them their opium of religion. We commend the PA for their support of this bill of liberation. Øyvind Vang ASUI Secretary General |
