Message | Official Statement of the President and Commander in Chief, Albert Hare We respect the people going out into the streets in a peaceful protest. Yet they will not see mercy if this escalates to violence. Furthermore we urge every single person going out in the streets to actually read our proposals! We will NOT segregate any government amenity, that is disgusting. We simply don't want to force the private sector, to do anything really. If they don't want a specific group of people in their establishment, then we should not force them. This is freedom of speech and expression. The only thing really which doesn'd discriminate is capitalism so I don't see either how protesters can go out and protest against both simultaneously. The repeal of the gay rights treaty is returning democracy to our political stage as otherwise any conservative party and voter will struggle to do anything, and we fight for the right of children to have a mother AND a father, hence we oppose single parent adoption as well. Thank you very much and we hope for a peaceful election night. |

Message | Breaking News: Anti-protesters have risen to protest for "free speech" and for the "Right of Rights". Many youths amongst them which were tired of the lack of a right wing party in Baltusia for years, and which see the green party as "hip, young and and a breath of fresh air in the stale political climate". Another BGA supporter, Marco Antonio (21) has stated: "I am here because compared to any other president I have seen in my short lifetime, Albert is at least entertaining" The anti-protesters are currently peaceful, but as they march towards the left demonstration, chanting: "The Right is Green", clashes are expected, but the police is there monitoring the situation. |

Message | OOC: " Baltusian Free speech association the speaker Mr John D Grantley a well known white-supremacist " Can we not associate the Free Speech movement with the white-supremacist movement please. There are huge differences. |
