| Message | There are some good suggestions but there are some which we heavily disagree with so we need to vote with no. Otherwise I don't know what kind of scriptures you have. |

| Message | Real heroes of Endralonian history cannot be erased, no matter how hard this fascist regime is trying to falsify the past. |
| Date | 00:34:40, June 17, 2018 CET | From | '14-es Köztársasági Alkotmánypárt | To | Debating the Bible Compatibility Act |
| Message | The Szent Szív Imakör is watching in great sadness the posturing of these foreign "nobles" and "monarchs". Endralon must fight, work and exist for the Endralonians and Endralonians only. We do not accept the sovereignty of a foreign dynasty, as any authority in Endralon can only derive from the Szentkorona. |
