| Message | Mr Speaker, currently, if any state impose tariffs on our products, we have no means to protect ourselves against that proceder. We can not impose tariffs on any imports, even from those countries that impose them on our exports. We believe on free trade with all countries of Terra, but if someone tries to fight with us, we should be able to fight back. (The Prime Minister) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, One cannot claim that they "believe on free trade with all countries of Terra" and then try and pass a protectionist bill. This is absolutely laughable and extremely hypocritical. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, If one does not want to trade with us on equal conditions, but imposes tariffs at us, what shall we do? Play as disadvantage party? I say no, It's time to introduce meanings of protect our economic interest. Does leader of the SDP missed the part when it says: " with no tariffs imposed on states which impose no tariffs on our exports. " ? (The Prime Minister) |
