Description[?]:
| Prime Minister Ethelwin Paglesham signed the new law implementing racial segregation. The law, introduced by the National Movement and approved by the Alliance, now mandates segregation between "whites" and "nonwhites" in schools and public amenities. The Alliance tried to pass an amendment segregating believers and nonbelievers, however, it was rejected by the NM and New Luthorian Church. Despite being opposed to the new legislation, the New Luthorian Church did not flinch and keeps supporting the new cabinet. Left-wing, antiracist organisations are outraged and are condemning the New Luthorian Church for their "complicit silence". The antiracist march was banned by Mark Jones (NM), the governor of the duchy of Orange. As a result, the organisations have decided to organise their demonstrations elsewhere, in other duchies. The leader of the National Movement, Louise of Hurrington, declared "This is a great victory for our Movement! We managed to pass our own legislation, with the support of the Alliance. We have more influence than the junior coalition partner and we're very happy about it. In the next duchy elections , we will win landslide victories in all 5 duchies because now everyone understands the NM is the only party able to change Luthori!" |

| Message | The law, which did not mandate segregation between "whites" and "nonwhites", because it did not say what segregation would be based on, is in effect meaningless until laws are passed clarifying what basis of race segregation will be on. |
| Date | 21:22:05, June 26, 2021 CET | From | National Movement | To | Debating the RP: the government implements racial segregation |
| Message | The law says the segregation is based on "race". It's in the law. Luthori has a racial and religious census so race is clearly defined. "All nationals are required to register their race and religion." Based on this census the courts can clearly define what race is. |
