Description[?]:
| Canrillaise fascist imperialism rears its ugly head once again, and the working people of Rildanor are under threat. The sovereignty and independence of the Republic is under threat from the Canrillaise bourgeoise, who aim to subjugate the popular classes of all South Seleya and form a subdued and defeated working class to fuel its inane quest for profits. The workers of Rildanor will rise up and defend their Fatherland from the forces of international capitalism and Canrillaise fascism! Marc-Antoine Levett Chairman of the Rildanorian Patriotic Front |

| Date | 14:56:49, December 18, 2020 CET | From | Rassemblement Républicain de Rildanor | To | Debating the Manifesto of the Rildanorian Patriotic Front |
| Message | While we understand that some concern may remain vis-à-vis the Canrillese Empire, we will not qualify it as "fascist" and have no evidence to date that shows that it openly threatens the Trudeauist Republic of Rildanor. If we are to remain vigilant, we have an obligation not to peddle false information. Furthermore, we do not share the political program of the Rildanorian Patriotic Front and will therefore be forced to oppose this proposal. However, we welcome the emergence of a third political force in Rildanor. Mathilde Leger National conventionist and representative of RRR conventionists |
