| Message | Mr. Chairman, We are horrified that not only the NSDAP, but also Ein Dovik, TGP and PRU are supporting these very extreme proposals which would severely restrict the civil liberties and freedom of expression of those who do not subscribe to the dominant Hosian religion. This is an absolute disgrace. At the same time we are fighting for justice in Hulstria and Ostland, we should not be enforcing theocracy here in our own country. Anton Weinreich General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |

| Message | Mr.Speaker, We plead to the TGP to vote against this proposal, Eventhough we understand that they are a religious party,this should be too much for them as well. Filomina Schwarz, Leader of the Green Party |
| Date | 13:02:43, December 05, 2017 CET | From | Dorvische Kommunistische Partei | To | Debating the The Religion Act |
| Message | Mr. Chairman, Whilst, as a staunchly secularist party, we strongly oppose this legislation, we do feel President Aswalt and the TGP deserve credit for being responsible enough not to support the other, more extreme bill on religious reform. Anton Weinreich General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
