| Date | 15:31:59, June 16, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Energy Re-nationalization Act |
| Message | We fundamentally disagree with this bill. Creating a state monopoly on energy would create inefficiencies and raise prices higher for consumers than a privately regulated service. We will be voting no. |
| Date | 21:19:15, June 16, 2018 CET | From |  Socialist Party of Baltusia (SPB) | To | Debating the Energy Re-nationalization Act |
| Message | We strongly support this bill. What the Liberal Party is stating has not been proven. The National Energy Company used to work flawlessly across Baltusia with lower prices. State Monopoly works. |
| Date | 10:06:12, June 17, 2018 CET | From | Green Union | To | Debating the Energy Re-nationalization Act |
| Message | We disagree this idea. We had to privatize our energy sector. Maybe 1 nationalised energy company but not at all. Creating a monopoly situation is a bad idea for the economy. |
