| Message | Mr. Chairman, While the All-Trigunian Communist Party approves the loosening of weapons restrictions introduced by the Radical Communist Party, We however cannot agree on the other proposals introduced by them, as they are sexist, homophobic and racist. Their stance on prisoners of war is also abhorrent. As the ATCP is wholly against slavery in all forms, we reject that proposal and forcibly veto this bill. For the good of our nation as a whole. It seems that the Radical Communist Party is trying to mask its visions of reactionary orders of old as “reforms” under our great socialist system. |
