I question the legality of the Treason Act, read as is. It implies that the fascists and their pretenders will not be given a just trial, simply executed once they are captured for the crime of treason. Must I remind my fellow party member that the Constitution guarantees everyone the right to a just trial (see Chapter 2, Article 8 and 9 of the Constitution)?

I would also like to point out the remark made earlier by a "Kaasist" in regards to banning groups and the relation of such an action to the right to assemble in Chapter 2, Article 5 of the Constitution—a right that shall not be abridged; at all. There is a bit of a conflict therein...

—Suive Opiniâtrement les Régles

I know by your really unfortunate name that you stubbornly follow the rules, but you seem to be the only person that cares about the finer elements of Belgian constitutionalism. Truly this unknown "Kaas" fellow and his following of lawyers are just a pain in our collective, parliamentarian ass.

All judges and officials unilaterally appointed by the BNF will be relieved of their duties and replaced by new appointees.

Sir, let us not fill the legislative process with needless bills. Such men, if they exist, can be simply removed via the current processes. There is no need for a special bill to this effect.

I find that you immediately assuming they are guilty of something is in poor taste Dupointe. In fact having members of government with this opinion brings the question when should they be given a trial at this time because its clear that any trial will just be a show trial for the government legitimacy.

Mr. Dupointe, may I in regards to your Purge Act refer you to my comment on the Security of Nobility Bill? This bill that you are proposing is as superfluous as the latter one, for the same reasons. I would also like to add that the wording of your act of execution does not currently imply there being a trial...

I used to be opposed to the banning of the BNF, beding a strong believer in civil liberties and thinking the fascists would die out on their own. But the "normal procedures" did not work so well. Belgium has been fighting for her life in one way or another for almost a decade and I am tired of compromising with enemies of our fair state.

I used to be opposed to the banning of the BNF, beding a strong believer in civil liberties and thinking the fascists would die out on their own. But the "normal procedures" did not work so well. Belgium has been fighting for her life in one way or another for almost a decade and I am tired of compromising with enemies of our fair state.

STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTRY OF BRUSSELS

As the Minister is still at present a prisoner of de Broqueville and the Nationalists in Africa, we request official instructions as to how to proceed. If by-elections are needed, they should be initiated immediately.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BELGIAN PARLIAMENT

by Pierre Savarin

I have heard that bills have been proposed of late proposing to create a Republic by means of legislation. I have, in fact, read that docket of legislation extensively and find it to be an excellent summary of National Democratic Party policy for the past eighty years (barring the absurd proposition of integrating the Netherlands, of course.) I stand fully behind the bill in principle, but if we are to do this, let us do it correctly. The proper way to go about this is to call a constitutional convention. As a man who gave his all during two terms as Prime Minister trying to fight for a Republic, serving the now Duke of Luxembourg in bringing about a more egalitarian and fair state for all.

With that said, it is obvious to me that this bill will fail, and frankly almost deserves to. What Conservative - frankly, what Liberal Democrat - would stand behind a proposal throwing out the old order which we just fought tooth and nail to defend? I am not agreeing with these men. It is beyond proven that the King serves no function other than entrenching power by accident of birth. He does not unify the country - he could not stop the Fascists from committing treason, nor the Beauffortists before them. He doe snot bring stability. He does not bring compromise. Be that as it may, all good Republicans must recognize that one of the main virtues of our form of government is that anyone can rise to the top of society and all opinions must be respected and tolerated; we must, therefore, recognize that there are good men and women in this country who are not Republicans, and their opinions and voices deserve to be heard as much as any other person's. Moreover, only the Socialists and National Democrats will support a republican constitutional amendment. The Liberal Democrats and Conservatives will not, and it will therefore not pass. A Constitutional Convention, on the other hand, will give everyone something they want. Who among the Liberal Democrats would not appreciate the opportunity to grant proper governance and citizenship to the inhabitants of the Free Zone? Who among the Conservatives would disagree with shoring up our great Constitution to adequately provide law and order?

I ask you, therefore, to call a constitutional convention. Whether Belgium becomes a Republic or remains a monarchy, it is clear it needs a new Constitution for the new age. In the name of better, stronger and freer government, I hope you will listen.

- P. Savarin

A day after this letter was presented to the Parliament, several National Democratic Party deputies presented the following bill

Constitutional Convention Act

A Convention for the purpose of drafting a new Constitution for Belgium will be called at the time of the next dissolution of the Belgian Parliament. All sitting deputies not currently under indictment for collaboration with the Nationalist Revolt ((i.e. anyone who can currently vote)) will be allowed to participate.

Should I accept the man who stabbed me with a knife and is about to kill me? No, I should strike back and the man should be arrested and locked away. Fascism isn't just a political party anymore, it is a danger to the Belgian way of life.

The Utilities Act:

1. A survey of the proper market value of all utility companies in Belgium will be taken.
1a: A utility company is defined as: electricity, heating, water, and sewage.
2. The Kingdom of Belgium will henceforth nationalize every one of these companies with proper compensation at market value, to be paid out of a special bond issue by the Kingdom of Belgium.
3. These utilities will be transferred to local municipalities where considered appropriate by a panel selected by Belgium's representative institutions. The directors of these companies, if held by the Kingdom, will be selected by that same panel, while the municipal governments will appoint the directors of those utility companies devolved to their power.
4. These utility companies will be granted a monopoly over their respective industries in their areas, and a new one may be formed by the state if there is determined to be a lack of supply in a certain area.
5. These utilities may be subsidized through government revenues but this is not required.
