| Date | 16:38:31, December 19, 2017 CET | From | Partia e Reformës (PR/KM/RP) | To | Debating the Kalopian Communities Reconstruction Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, For a start, any act supported by the Majatran party, the Knowledgeable and Wise Imam Society, cannot really be called reform but rather regression. I suppose that, as horrific as the Tukaric Junta was, at least it wasn't a Majatran Junta. They want the lives all those of Kalopian, Siphinan, and Istochniak blood. Further to that, they are socialists. It seems the two evil creeds of Ahmadism and socialism go together hand in hand. Secondly, this destroys the rights of many Kalopi-Siphinans in our nation. Kalopi-Siphinans have the right to adopt whether they are heterosexual or not. The government must give the most extensive rights possible to all Kalopi-Siphinans. Sure we can regulate the Majatrans and the Tukarics, however once the government begins oppressing the rightful race of Kalopia, they are becoming overly intrusive.

| Message | May I state that first and foremost, such blatant intolerance towards another race or religion is simply promoting toxic politics and it may severely damage our social cohesion because face it, most ethnic Kalopians are Ahmadis too! You cannot simply view it as a zero sum game where ALL Ahmadis are evil and ALL Ahmadis are socialist, because for a fact, the KWIS has supported most EPS pro-market bills where we have eliminated regulations that would have crippled our economy and industry. We hope that the Reformists can understand this and stop their insensitive attitude towards racial and religious harmony, which is critical in our country. |

| Message | When racism, especially that displayed by the Reform Party in their statement, becomes the driving force of politics in Kalopia, I think it just shows the major reforms we need in order to preserve the fragile harmony that we have since the EPS took power after the collapse of the Junta, not jeopardise it with more ludicrous racially-charged statements that the Reformists have been saying in this debate. |
