| Message | No this is a horrible idea. |
| Date | 21:30:36, January 18, 2018 CET | From | Ahmadi Front | To | Debating the Ecology Devolution Act |
| Message | We see changing Article 1, 4 and 7 to be dangerous for animals and environment. |
| Date | 00:25:19, January 19, 2018 CET | From | The United Centralist Party | To | Debating the Ecology Devolution Act |
| Message | I agree with the Ahmadi party, the environment is something we can not ignore. This party has always believed that our forests are the world’s air-conditioning system – the lungs of the planet, that our environment is too important to neglect, and that we have an obligation to protect such resources. However, unfortunately, this has become more of a debate and political issue; no longer an obligation. |
