| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is what happens when fascist parties like yours take power! You can't criticize religion anymore! |
| Date | 12:40:44, January 25, 2020 CET | From | White Rose | To | Debating the Holy Luthori Church Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Holy Luthori Church has been the state religion for longer than we have been a political party, meaning longer than everyone else too. This does not make it mandatory, it recognises the link between state and church, and makes sure blasphemy in public is an offence once more. |
