Councillor Marion Rousselot
Deputy Speaker of the European Council -
It goes without saying that I wholeheartedly support this motion. I am very distressed to see what has happened in Icholasen, and I hope that the will of the people, and the democratically-elected government of Icholasen are immediately restored to power.
Edward Firoux
Council Speaker and Councillor for Inquista -
I vehemently oppose this motion. The Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia will always support and defend the right to self-determination of all nations and thus respects the changes happening in Icholasen. I am convinced that it would be best if the development in Icholasen would not be influenced by any subversive foreign activity. I am also strongly convinced that the United Nicoleizian Socialist Republics is commited to the same principles as The European Union.
I am insulted by the Section 2 of the motion, as it gravely violates the right of member states to independent foreign policy and could hurt their economies. I therefore propose making the entirety of Section 2 voluntary, rather then mandatory.Václav Kohout
Councillor for Czech Slavia -
Becky Short-Hailey, newly appointed Councillor of Icholasen took to the podium. "I sit here in a chamber full of hypocrites. Each of your nations has a story of national liberation. This is ours. Icholasen will be having new elections under a new constitution soon. Please refrain from your supranational statecraft for one moment please."
Across the Council floor, Poppy Carlton-Romanov (the Second) began to speak. "Councillors, please ignore this complete fanny. Icholasen's legitimate government has been displaced and democracy has ended in Icholasen. I implore the nations of Europe to engage in any action against the communist government. Embargos, blockades, you name it. My patrie weeps."

As per the Elected and Accountable Council Act, Mrs. Short-Hailey cannot possibly be recognized as the new Councillor of Icholasen. Mrs. Short-Hailey has been elevated to her post in a manner that meets absolutely none of criteria outlined in the Elected and Accountable Council Act. Since Councillor Carlton-Romanov was already the incumbent Councillor of Icholasen, and was a candidate in the midst of an election process, she will continue to serve as Icholasen's Councillor until the next legitimate councillor election in the country. As Council Speaker, I will only accept the voice and opinion of Councillor Carlton-Romanov.
Security, please escort Mrs. Short-Hailey off the Council floor and to the public gallery where she can heckle as much as she wishes.
