Borja Sémper shook hands with Minister Šin, who was famous for his appearance on the series Jersey, but became even more famous when he appeared on the first page of a Spanish tabloid, the magazine "Hola!" (Hello!). Sémper knew that Šin was not a huge fan of the nation's culture since he was fired, and his question was unsurprising to him, but he would take the chance to strike back: «I would not use "decline" as a word to describe the Spanish culture, it has never been in decline to be honest. There is a lot of work to do, however, and our cinema needs more international projection -not only those films Disney produces- but Spanish-made films. I am pretty sure you would enjoy "Eight Basque Surnames" and its sequel, "Eight Catalan Surnames". They were so successful that now they have made yet another film: "Eight Moroccan Surnames". I love them. Thank you for your support, Minister», Borja said and then waved back when Šin left, with a smile on his face.

Quintero nodded to Šin's comments and added: «Indeed sir, my song "Si no Estás" made me famous... that and the Catholic Convention that Spain held in Lisbon last summer. Many people discovered my songs thanks to TikTok, found out the meaning of it, and started to share it on Instagram Stories or their own TikToks. And the organizers of the catholic convention also played it, so that really helped. I hope that, when I get to perform it here, you love it». Íñigo smiled after, and waved back at the Minister. When he left, he turned back to Borja Sémper and spoke: «Why does he seem to hate everything that comes from Spanish culture? I just know this guy because he had an affair with Corinna and my mother could not stop talking about how handsome he was!». Sémper laughed and answered back: «He was fired from a TV series that they played in Antena 3, I believe the show called "Jersey". Let him be, and focus on your great performance!». The Culture Minister then patted Íñigo's back.

Then, Borja approached President Reiserová, and greeted her. Sémper had heard that Reiserová, as many people in Europe, were not aware that Juncker was also no longer the President of the Kingdom of Spain, and so there he went, on his attempt to get the Czech allies back into business with Spain: «President Reiserová, it is awesome to be here today. I have to congratulate you and your nation for such a Festival, with great values like respect and understanding. Both, Íñigo and I, are honoured to be here. Concerning Mr. Aguilar and Mr. Juncker, both have urged me to send you their best wishes and their regards. Both have left the office and are now retired from politics, with our new President being Alberto Núñez Feijóo. He also told me to send you best wishes and warm regards, and an official invite to come to Madrid whenever you wish. He will gladly receive you whenever you deem convenient».

Carefully avoiding the Roscoes, Borja Sémper and Íñigo Quintero managed to spot Évretas Iketemar, and while they approached the Istkalenian delegation, he nodded at Reiserová's question about that day. Shortly after nodding, and just a few metres away from the Istkalenian Minister, Quintero muttered to Sémper: «Why is the President of Czech Slavia talking about prisons?! Borja, I am scared». Borja mumbled back: «We will be fine, Íñigo, relax. Isn't it exciting to watch how Ms. Reiserová is swiftly telling the Roscoes that they are "comfortably remaining" here, in a 6 stars hotel? -Quintero thought Borja had turned crazy at this point- Now act normally, for the sake of our international relations». Both then smiled and approached Évretas: «Ms. Iketemar, nice to meet you, as well as seeing the Istkalenian delegation here! How are things going around Istkalen?», Borja asked.

On the Upcoming European (Councillor) Elections

The Kingdom of Spain will be heading to the polls within 6 June and 9 June to elect its new European Councillor, who will be in charge of representing the nation in the European Council for the next five years. For these elections, the Kingdom of Spain has opted for the alternative voting day system, which will make the nation attend the polls in different dates, in order to provide the least disruption as possible. The voting days are established as follows:

• 6 June: Clerbonne (Germanium)
• 7 June: Londres
• 8 June: Commonwealth Territories and Puerto Rico
• 9 June: Rest of the Nation

The University of California, Davis in conjunction with the federal government and CalPoly will conduct a study on the feasibility of renewable energy in the Mojave Desert.

"We understand this is a new Spanish government," stated Penny. "You're entitled to make changes if you see a need but we can confirm our satisfaction."

Name: Rob Bonta
Nation: California
Incumbent?: Y
Background: https://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/1587/ecoj-nominations-june-2023/6

"Solamente nosotros," said Penny. "As for the trade agreement, it seems to be working well. The wine industry is a good example. Same with olive oil and the more exotic agricultural products. I think our educational exchange is working well; lots of Californian secondary students are taking the opportunity as have the Spanish tertiary students." She paused to look for any problems.

Penny looked at the Palacio; San Diego's Historic District had buildings like these but much smaller. "Wow, que bueno." She felt completely comfortable with how Sr. Pons gave her. She was a proudly out lesbian and knew the Spanish customs. After all, her wife's family was Spanish.

"According to my government, this shouldn't take long," she said. "Our Prime Minister made an FTA...I'm supposed to convey the want to host some defense exercises on La Isla Catalina."
