| Message | We stand opposed to this radical deregulation bill. It would only serve to weaken our industry and society. |
| Date | 14:15:37, May 18, 2018 CET | From | Independent Party of Vorona | To | Debating the Herekorenga Pira (Freedom Act) |
| Message | While my party could support some of these articles, we cannot support all of them together. If you want to get some of these bills passed, I might advise you party to propose the bills in smaller chunks so that all of these articles are not forced to stand up against each other. |
| Date | 02:28:12, May 19, 2018 CET | From | Progressive Worker's Party | To | Debating the Herekorenga Pira (Freedom Act) |
| Message | I really would like to see Article 9 passed and I agree with the Independent Party of Vorona that it needs to be split up. |
