Definition of Nations (Istkalen) Bill
-
Cllr. Trympov, just before I introduce an amendment to this bill, I want to remember you about something you seem not to understand: Mr. Juncker didn't say he would throw Atty. Winston off a balcony, but answering the question "What else could we expect about you?", he said: 'Joining the balconing team in Ibiza, but this time without a Parachute with you.' Also Ms. Yahontov, if you want to propose any guest to come here and explain what the Joint Transitional Authority for Istkalen thinks, please tell us a name and we will work to bring the person here as soon as possible.
But, as of now, here's my amendment:
SECTION I
II. Anyone who was a citizen of the Republic of Istkalen on May 26th, 2021 may not nominate themselves as a candidate for election to the European Commission and the European Court of Justice until the European Commission reaches a conclusion concerning the current status of Istkalen within the European Union.
and if elected, may serve in the role to which they have been elected.Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
Why? It is illegal to unilaterally strip millions of people of their citizenship. Are you so obsessed with Mr. Juncker that you are trying to block others from campaigning against him?
If this continues, we may have to secede our territory again as to reform Istkalen. I will also ask for an extension.
Iras Tilkanas
Representative of the Republic of Istkalen -
Cllr. Tilkanas, I think you don't really understand that Istkalen has ceased to exist, and you just need to look to the Instrument of Surrender, which under my reading gives the occupying forces, in this case, Reitzmag and Vayinaod; the power to abolish the State of Istkalen, which by the way, happened. That means Istkalen is not a country, therefore it can be a member of the European Union, so then they cannot have a Councillor. This is not about Mr. Juncker, the campaign or whatever you want to, it is about legal stuff. The European Commission is the only competent office to decide on how Istkalen should be regarded, while the Council should ratify that view. Meanwhile, it is not illegal to strip that people from their citizenship, because Istkalen doesn't exist, so they are stateless.
Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
I am now the Interim Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen, unrelated to the Republic of Istkalen.
Who gave the Commission this power? It isn't the Constitution, that is certain. It is you and you alone! Even though this involves a state which I no longer have any connection to, this is evil and insane!
Iras Tilkanas
Interim Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen -
I would like to clarify upon further reading the announcement made by the J-TAI that only the Republic of Istkalen was disbanded but the State of Istkalen remains. This therefore means that there is a state but the shadow government is absent until new elections have concluded. In addition, this means that Istkalen isn't stateless and still exists. There only isn't a shadow government that represents the people for the J-TAI. I am also informed that currently negotiations are underway for the formation of a joint government with the new Republic of Istkalen.
