A Tank of Gas and a Bunch of Minerals (Spain-Mennrimiak Summit)

Spain

Madrid, España
19th February 2022

The skies of Madrid looked cloudy as the light took over the night, as the sun, which was not visible that day, got higher in the sky. Some would call it a signal, other a coincidence. For the Spanish President, Jesús Aguilar, the weather reminded him of Mennrimiak's skies during this time of the year. Of course, the snow was missing, so was the cold weather, but the clouds were there. Madrid woke up, and so did the Presidential family, who were not used to have the eldest male of the family working on Saturdays and welcoming foreign leaders. In exchange, Aguilar promised his children and his wife a picnic in the gardens of the Palace, so he could keep his family busy and entertained preparing the picnic while he was a hundred times busier.

That day's summit was crucial for the development of the Spanish economy, and it was oriented towards improving the relationship between Mennrimiak and Spain. The North American country was a very relevant partner for Spain, when it came to gas supplies and other resources like fish. And even if the military base was closed recently due to an agreement with Vayinaod, Aguilar already expected that and prepared a Plan B to avoid any ungrateful surprises. Yet, no member of the Spanish cabinet felt betrayed by the Mennrimians, in fact they believed it would save them more problems and open more opportunities than when the Kingdom had a base there.

For the first time ever, Aguilar was not in his office, neither in the Consejo de Ministros building. He was spending time with his children, playing with them to whatever game they wanted, giving them some attention while letting his wife rest. Jesús was absent most of the time, what did not make him the greatest of all the papis, but he tried his best when he had some free time. The Spanish President awaited for the Mennrimians arrival, and ordered his secretary to warn him when they were about to arrive...

Mennrimiak

Saulli had finally arrived to Spain! Home of some good wines and cheese but also home to the diplomatic nightmare of Mennrimian Bureocrats and Citizens alike, The mediterranean kingdom was nothing short of a beast, A true force to be reckoned with, they had achieved some of the most fruitful deals on the continent but yet something always felt a bit odd regarding the relation of both nordic Mennrimiak and latin Spain, Saulli never knew if it was either the fact that the Northern Kingdom decided to ally with the mortal enemy of the Spaniards on its first days on the EU or the always omnipresent aura of the Spanish thrice candidate of the commission, "Juncker", impacting the view of the Mennrimians regarding the scarlet gold flag country.
Either way Saulli had embarked in an adventure that would save the relation or doom it, After the parliament closed the spanish base in the artic Saulli knew he had to meet with the Spanish president one more time on his term, and try to get something out of it, he didnt know what exactly but whatever came out of it would shape the future of the country.

Saulli steped out of his Ministerial Plane and
proceded to greet whomever was there to recieve him at the airport, He them took the convoy offered to him, an armored mercedes s class just as he had requested, Saulli has always had a soft spot for mercedes and if he wanted a good summit he needed a good mood.
He then arrived at the palace and finally waited for Jesus Aguilar, The President of the Kingdom of Spain.

Spain

Jorge was a driver for the Spanish secret service, the Centro Nacional de Inteligencia. He did not know that the person he would be driving today, would once again be his worst nightmare. He was told to drive to Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas Airport, where a special guest he would have to take to the Palacio de la Moncloa would arrive. During his first journey, he started to think about who that important guest could be: - maybe Ms. Kligenberg? Emperor Artabanos? Nah, he hasn't exited Inimicus for a while now. Simon, the baddie, Bridges? He is coming soon, why would he land in Madrid? - He was reflexive, trying to guess...

Niinisto's plane arrived from the north, and when Saulli entered the car, Jorge could not believe: "Welcome dear guest, I hope you have a nice journey-", he said before realising who his guest was. "Oh, Mr. Niinisto, nice to see you again! I have been told you liked this armoured Mercedes S Class, so I have chosen this on purpose! I hope our journey is great". The motorcade made its way towards the Presidential residence, where the Spanish President was waiting for his guest. He came out of the Consejo de Ministros building, and stood over the 4 steps that led to the little porch of the building. The motorcade came to a stop, and both leaders shook hands. Jesús smiled, and welcomed Saulli: "Mr. Niinisto, welcome to Spain! Have you had a pleasant journey?", he asked.

Both entered the Palace, and after some pictures were taking by the press that was covering the event, they were left alone. "Well, here we are once again! Would you like something to drink?", he asked to start the summit in a good way.
