| Date | 18:35:03, May 26, 2018 CET | From | Partido Socialista do Povo | To | Debating the More Religious Freedom |
| Message | We recognize these are advances in relation to the current laws however we can't agree with the existence of an official state religion. Article 2 while providing the right to choose which religion to preach, it doesn't make Tukarali a secular country. It keeps this a country where religion is at the center of political decisions and human life. |

| Date | 07:53:33, May 27, 2018 CET | From | União Democrática do Tukarali | To | Debating the More Religious Freedom |
| Message | "We support this bill because it is an advance on the current situation. However, we don't really support eitther an official state relgion nor the strict regulation of religious schools, and we are opposed to any state involvement in the appointment of ministers. Furthermore, this bill fails to deal with most of the other authoritarian provisions that the fascist government has introduced, so we can only regard it as a first step to the reintroduction of religious liberty to our nation." Edu Alvares, UDT spokesperson for Justice and Religious Affairs |
