I would like to mention that the intervention is going to happen, regardless of whether or not the European Union supports it. I have opened this motion to see if the European Union (or it's subsequent member states) are interested in helping Alkharya out to eradicate terrorism off the grounds and make Alkharya united again.
Metin Fazlı
European Councillor of the Alkharyan Republic
Armoria is a nice site for you to create your country's coat of arms if you're struggling in that regard.
Addressing the people in the council,
The Northern part of Alkharya has unfortunately succumbed to Northern insurgence backed by traitors in the Alkharyan military. Their goal is to create a rogue state in which a "monarch" rules all over the country with no one there to question their authority. The previous councillor before me, whose name I will not mention, has gotten on a power trip with her position, disregarding Alkharyan authority and causing division in my homeland. She was a corrupt fraud that tried to portray herself as a hero but ended up dying on the feet of a tree not even a week later. The insurgence resulted in hundreds of thousands being barred from their homes, as the government in Kaanpaşa desperately tries to help everyone who has been affected by the instability.
This illegitimate state in question, which calls itself The Alkharyan Realm, is nothing short of a military junta dictatorship. There is no government there, no laws, only the mercy of the terrorists who once called themselves soldiers. They suppress the media, prevent people from checking whether or not if their elections are legitimate and held people at gunpoint to vote in their independence referendum. We are talking about millions of lives that are at the line here. We cannot trust their elections, they won't be free or fair. Therefore, as the European Councillor of the Alkharyan Republic, I hope that the European Union will help Alkharya to intervene and stop this atrocity.
After the threat in the North has been eliminated, The Alkharyan Republic plans to:
1 - Re-write the political system from the ground up to ensure no conflict at this level happens in the future.
2 - Fund reconstruction of the Northern regions affected by the insurgence.
3 - Strengthen its anti-terrorism laws and enforce them in more efficient ways.
4 - Arrest and charge criminals responsible for this conflict.
We are looking forward to collaboration.

And they are as shady as you think
The news has been announced by the Northern state-dictated media. Apparently, with a 96% turnout, 90% of the state voted for independence. But the election is more sketchy than a 6-year-old trying to draw with an Etch-a-Sketch, as the so-called Realm tried their best to ensure that the referendum was in their favour.
While ONE Radio said they would accept outsiders to check their elections, said outsiders apparently had problems with getting a visa. It's common for these observes to get completely ghosted by the Realm. Vaschel Aidallbery, a political science graduate from the United Duchies, said that the so-called Realm was "more unresponsive than a 20-year-old computer". He said that he completely gave up after the Realm wanted "incredibly personal information", including his social security number to grant him a political visa. Similar complaints came from Jody Barnett, which tried to observe the election from Leagio. They claimed that the government wanted their address to "send out a form for the visa", as the illegitimate state doesn't have an embassy anywhere.
Footage and witness report from the towns and villages near the border flow relentlessly and it appears that the Northern military junta is having a hard time controlling the press. Some voters are forced at gunpoint to vote for independence. It is reported that 1/3 of the employees on ONE have disappeared, arrested or publicly beaten somewhere. Freedom of speech is absolutely unheard of in the so-called Glorious Kingdom. The area is in such a chaotic state that nobody is exactly sure who the leader is. It is predicted that the nation is run by a council of thirty or so soldiers, none of which are public figures. The city of Alderik, which is now considered "the capital of the Realm", is on a condition possibly worse than the city of Kiel according to whistleblowers, which is remarkable given that the Realm had only existed since mid-February.
On behalf of the Alkharyan Republic, I vote AGAINST this amendment.

An emergency councillor race begins as Alkharya remains broken
Metin Fazlı (left) and Seniha Aybeniz (right) pictured
February of 2021 will go down as one of the most traumatic months for Alkharyans that lived during the timeline. The recalling of the former councillor Aylin Gökçen, protests backed by millions, followed Northern insurgence and separation and the assassination of Aylin Gökçen. The country is barely holding it together, it seems like. Now, the country tries to replace its assassinated former councillor.
Two candidates were chosen and an election will happen in the 3rd of March, 2021 and conclude on the 4th. Here are the three candidates:
Metin Fazlı
A politician from Kaanpaşa, Fazlı has already promised an intervention bill against the North from day one. He does not mind using divisive language, outright calling independence supporters "terrorists". He is currently considered to be the one who will put an end to this limbo the fastest.
Seniha Aybeniz
A politician from Etikel, she takes a more pacifist approach and considers to participate or initiate peace talks with the North, with the help of current Internal Affairs Commissioner, Münevver Birdane.
Counties affected by the northern insurgence will be ineligible to vote, as the insurgence prevents the so-called Northern country from doing anything EU-related.
I would like to thank Councillor Juvinal for bringing this discussion. I initially wasn't planning to speak on the council, but since my homeland is busy for various reasons, I don't think they'll be able to get a councillor in the near future, but alas. May Aylin Gökçen rest in darkness, without pain.
For all purposes, Copala City was intended to be an autonomous region inside Reitzmag to store the Free Nicolezian government in exile after the 2020 communist coup. While I do not support the Reitzmic invasion of the city without permission from Copalan authorities, I do not support the Haanean protests in Bomballey, either. I do not think that the Haanean protesters have a say on an independent state inside Copala City, and I struggle to find a reason why there would be, especially a movement led by Josephine Areai, a dictator who has summoned nothing but a reign of terror in the Union of Syndicates throughout her reign. It amazes me how she hasn't been charged with a list of war crimes that is longer than the distance between where I speak and the door of the council.
François Le Berre, a candidate for the Premier Commissioner for the last elections, had some accomplishments he listed in his election campaign: Let me read some of those out for the council just to show my point on what kind of a person Areai is:
Negotiated with dictator Josephine Areai - she planned to kill me, a person she viewed as being the "linchpin" of the "stranglehold the inferior European race has upon the glorious and supreme Haanean nation," by submersion in a bath of acid, if I did not join her cabinet - and even then, she would still personally kill me in ten years. In the end, I did, but with the assurance that I would be less likely to die, as I would be "useful for the purposes of the Haanean Nation."
Served, under extreme duress, as "Minister of Propaganda and Censorship" for Areai, a position in which I attempted to serve as poorly as possible while still pleasing genocidal Areai, who wished to kill all those of "European" race. I was not responsible for censoring or creating propaganda; this was Areai's responsibility.
Convinced Areai, through negotiation between the years 1994 and 2006, to replace bloodthirsty Tsaiu-t Ueliohen, leader of her secret police and Minister of Resource Allocation (responsible for overseeing "death factories', among other functions) and known for drinking the blood of those he had killed, primarily through brutal ways (castration followed by untreated infection leading to death, feeding of castor oil, impaling, crucifixion are examples), and eventually exile him in 2008.
There's another point here, but I won't read it here loudly, as the council gets my points very clearly. How this woman still has a rally of support behind him is beyond me. I do not believe that protests and riots are inherently a bad thing, but when they're lead by a person like Areai, it's impossible for me to support them.

Aylin Gökçen, former councillor of Alkharya from October 2020 to February 2021, was found dead by a bicyclist today near the Gallorum-Europolis border. The body was found in a black bag near a tree. Reporters say Gökçen had not been seen in Europolis after Monday.
"So I was biking through the border like I always do and I decided to stop for something, and I saw something odd-looking there, near the tree and, you know, I'm a curious person, so I
come closer, and whatever was there was smelling real bad, and I was certain it was a body bag, so I call the police! And turns out it was a body! Apparently an important politician, too. Europe is going crazy, I tell you!" The biker told a reporter.
Investigators are mostly certain the case was a murder, but the body will still be delivered to a morgue for an autopsy, as well as a thorough examination to help with the ongoing police investigation.
President Tülay Elçi shared her condolences. "I offer them my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this dark time in her close ones' lives. No one deserves death", she said at a press conference.
We will update you with the latest information regarding this incident.
Press Statement - 22nd of February 2021
Dear Europeans,
I am grateful that you have elected me as your Commissioner. I am glad that my extensive campaign has worked throughout Europe. I have already gotten to work as your new Commissioner, I start my job with a sunk heart as I receive the news from my homeland breaking up into pieces. The system that Alkharya has been subjected to was broken for centuries, and the cracks are now showing even more. I hope that I can bring better days to my nation and better days in Europe.
For that, I am going to slowly roll out the promises I've made in my rallies. At the end of my four-month term, I will do, or attempt to do, the following:
I hope that I can bring substantial change to European Union during my term.
Take care,
Münevver Birdane
Internal Affairs Commissioner of the European Union
Update:
The full name of the legitimate Alkharyan state, whose capital is located in Kaanpaşa, is Alkharyan Republic.
Aylin Gökçen has been withdrawn from the Councillor seat. The seat shall remain vacant until the next councillor election.
The motivation message comes after the Northern separation
The Alkharyan unity, which lasted for more than two centuries, seems to be over for now as the North declares itself a realm free from the rest of Alkharya. The abrupt chaos comes from the departure of Aylin Gökçen as a councillor of Alkharya. Aylin Gökçen, which has been a politician for the region of Alfur for years had won the councillor elections of September 2020. She was called back by the Alkharyan Government. While no actual reason was given on the callback document, many believe that it's because of disagreements between Gökçen and Elçi.
Well, it appears that these disagreements came at a considerable price. The vast protests all around Northern Alkharya have escalated into insurgence. The final nail in the coffin was 2/5 of the military escaping to fight alongside the North, which made every citizen on the islands suffer, as supplies (which were promised by the government itself) got delayed and emergency services were unreachable in most areas. Evacuations were made to make sure the hysteria didn't spread, as it was too late, it seems like. The Northern militia hijacked channel ONE and decided to release a final message, saying they have chosen their own destiny. They also hinted at a referendum in early March, though its legitimacy is heavily questioned.
Surprisingly enough, Kaanpaşa stayed mostly silent to Northern separation, for reasons unknown... Until now. President Tülay Elçi gave her first speech after all these incidents yesterday, which might show the reason why they have stayed silent all this time.
"Dear Alkharyans, the experience that we're going through is traumatic, tragedic and is certainly one of the lowest points in Alkharya in the 21st century. I have made the decision to kick Aylin Gökçen out of the Council for mere incompetence and provocation. This decision of mine has resulted in protests intensifying into insurgence and an illegitimate rogue state on our mainland. Just to be clear, we will not be recognizing the so-called realm. We will not give these terrorists what they want. However, we cannot immediately go into attack mode. We have to prepare. We cannot lose more lives. I promise you that we will return to normal better than ever. This was a small dent in Alkharya's success. We got this."
This was Erin Karagül, writing for Dörtköşe.
A referendum of independence will be taken on the first week of March. Register to vote on a school near you. Outsider observers are welcome. See you there.
[After hours of black screen, the message "ÖNEMLİ DUYURU" (IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT) flashes red on the screen of ONE, with a couple of beeps following.]
Greetings to all watching as of current. The so-called united Alkharya comes to an end now, and hopefully forever.
The South has used every single tool in the shed to oppress the North. Its opinions, its views, cultures, many other things. It repeatedly stepped on our boundaries, by annexing us without our consent in the 1800s, by banning travel to Northern cities in the 1950s, by secretly poisoning Northern politicians since the forced unification, by killing the Northern journalists, by suppressing our political power, even to this day. The December 2020 referendum will go down as the worst referendum in the history of these islands. The re-calling of dear Councillor Aylin Gökçen was the straw that broke the camel's back.
The South sends its military as a last-ditch effort. It doesn't matter. We are winning on every front. We will separate. We will have our own voice. We will win.
We have these demands from the rest of Alkharya: Recognize The Alkharyan Realm as a sovereign independent state, and leave us out of the European Union.
We have chosen our own destiny.
Long Live the North.
[The broadcast ends with footage of the flag of the new Alkharyan Realm.]
I ABSTAIN from voting on this motion.
Councillor Aylin Gökçen of Alkharya
I vote AGAINST Amendment I and FOR Amendment II and III.
Councillor Aylin Gökçen of Alkharya
