Commission Debate, Dec 2022

[BrumBrum]

Tarek:The EU has no authority over the Caspian Council and opening that one up risks far more conflict as nations may ask for certain things. For example at the moment military ships are not allowed outside the waters of Duchies or North Diessan if they are not from Caspian states by treaty. You really want to open that up. And I am for united and happy Europe except the Duchies who can screw themselves due to government rogue state behaviour which the Duchies has effectively conducted. I didn't lead the European Union to try to riot either, I called for protests out on the street over the situation of there being a single candidate election and I still call for protests on the street if Juncker wins for the same reasons. Single candidate elections are illegitimate elections, demos means peoples choice, one candidate is not a choice by defenition.I will continue to trash my countries government for they deserve it for what they done. You have proven yourself Wirt to be a Duchian bootlicker just like Juncker who seems to be quiet on the issue too. You are either fully against the Duchies government or a Duchian bootlicker so which will you be?

[Spain]

Aron, what the European Union should do is applying the current methods it has to stop and avoid conflicts from happening: from mediating between those “rogue” member states, to introducing sanctions in the most extreme cases through the European Commission (Sanctioning Powers) Act. However, mediating is impossible when some leaders are not up to seating on the same table as you because they do not like you or come up with childish exigencies. Europe has the resources, the ways to stop conflicts: not only through words but also legislatively. Maybe we could create a European Peace Protection Force, that would be deployed upon request of member states or the Commission to keep peace.

It is true that the Caspian is the current hotspot of violence in our region, but this has been repeating around Europe for years: Istkalen, Eastern Haane, the Union of Syndicates… But mostly, the Caspian and some countries around the Caspian, like the now gone Drommund Kaas, are the ones that cause trouble. I cannot tell you why or what causes some of them to behave like this, but it needs to come to an end now. I think the Commission should work on this and elaborate a proposal that brings these behaviours to an end in agreement with the European Council.

Finally, you have brought up Europol, something that I actually proposed during my second term as Internal Affairs Commissioner and an idea that I still support. I think it's really necessary for the European Union, and that it would be not only a good example of integration and cooperation between members, but also a sign that would send a really important message: the EU is back, stronger. And of course, concerns about sharing intelligence with other member states would be considered when drafting a proposal.

[BrumBrum]

Tarek:You Duchian bootlicker , have you conveniantly forgot two key ones United Duchies and Reitzmag of which Spain was once allied with United Duchies. Maybe you can't say United Duchies cos Spain and you are Duchian bootlickers. You and Wirt the Duchian Bootlicker need to call the turd a turd and actually grow a pair of balls and adress the situation instead of hiding. You need to confront the United Duchies on its governments behaviour or just exclude them from meeting and functions until they join the civilised world. I will do all I can to confront their behaviour and exclude their voice until they join the civilised world , if you vote these Duchian bootlickers they will not Europe. If you want a truly European candidate willing to oppose his own country then choose me, if you want Duchian bootlickers choose them.

[Spain]

Mr. Tarek, with all due respect: you have lost your mind. I do not think Mr. Wirt needs my help to defend himself from these wacky, soft accusations, but neither him nor myself are anyone’s bootlickers. These words should be ignored by everyone, your obsession is threatening for our region and the Europeans know me enough to be aware of how I behave and how hard I work for Europe. I want a united Europe, you want the wildest of confrontations between the EU and a member state, you want Europe to be a civil war: you are not a pro-European candidate, you are the same as many others, the same as Künhert for example: you want to destroy Europe as it is known, and drive it to chaos and destruction. I will not allow that to happen.

[BrumBrum]

Tarek:So you yet again refuse to criticise the Duchies by name. You are a Duchian bootlicker. The only way to get the message across to United Duchies and Reitzmag is to ghost them and exclude them and confront them at every oppurtunity. Only then will they see the pariahs of Europe they have become. Your soft , be friends and cooperative with all approach is one of a weak leader and will weaken this institution. I can garuntee a strong EU that challenges the rogue pariah Reitzmag and Duchian regimes and remember I am criticising a country I am from , that takes guts to do. You don't have the guts to call out United Duchies by name and you are not even Duchian.Imagine the power you'd have if you presented a total sanctions package on the United Duchies and Reitzmag and cut them off from the European economy. You could force them to change fully to the EU peaceful democratic will or have them choose their own collapse or demise as a power, economy of government.

[Spain]

Do you know what makes the European Union a soft institution, Mr. Tarek? Tensions and confronting member states openly from its governing institutions, which is what you want to do, period.

By the way, I would like to explain my “hotspot of violence” concept, just in case I have not been clear: it means that the main non-peaceful events have taken place on those areas. I am not calling any country rogue or anything, I am just saying tensions in those places are extremely high.

[BrumBrum]

Tarek : I will ask you and Wirth this once more will you criticise Duchies and Reitzmag governments for the rogue regimes many in European countries rightly believe they are? Or are you going to continue licking the Duchians boots and being weak and letting them get away with these terrible actions they took?

[Vayinaod]

Mr. Al-Wazir I ask you to suspend your hostile comments against your opponents. You will be fined 1 minute (150 words) from your closing statements.

Ladies and gentlemen we have come to the conclusion of our debate, I ask our candidates to submit their closing statements.

Mr. Juncker and Mr. Harland will be granted the full 2 minutes (300 words), while Mr. Al-Wazir will be allotted 1 minute (150 words).

Thank you all once again for your participation.

[BrumBrum]

Tarek Al Wazir:(burns duchies and reitzmag flag on stage) Europe your choice is simple Duchian bootlickers who will do nothing to deal with rogue and terrorist governments in Europe who assualt national sovereignty for no good reason or me the only candidate willing to stand up for Europe the EU and peace and security in Europe. You can choose a candidate who will listen to all of Europe except Duchies and Reitzmag or the same old inactive candidates.Its your choice choose me I will be active , listen unless you are Duchies in which case piss off out of my office. You can choose a pro-european or Duchian bootlickers and choose a democrat who will bring EU democracy to Europeans and fairness or the same old style of politics. I hope you choose me so I can serve you well.

[Vayinaod]

Anker quickly motions for off-stage security to come onto the stage and escort Mr. Al-Wazir off the cameras and stage due to the the danger the flag burning posed to the all-wooden stage along with to the other candidates, as well as violating the no-prop rule for the debate. The fires were quickly extinguished and the flag remains rushed away to be dealt with in a professional manner. Mr. Al-Wazir would be fined for his violation of the standard no-prop rule found in most political debates, as well as fined for the damage incurred to the antique Vardic debate stage. After a series of questioning from on-site security and Nyetthem Metro Police, Mr. Al-Wazir would be asked to leave the country at the earliest possible time.

Mr. Anker motions for the other candidates to continue their closing statements and apologizes to the audience members for Mr. Al-Wazir.

[Elthize]

Harland had a concluding statement ready for the debate, but he forgot it all like an amnesiac as he witnessed his opponent get tackled down by security after burning the flags of the United Duchies and Reitzmag. This confused Wirt, as he wasn't sure how Tarek carried those flags to the stage.

"Yeah, uh... If you don't wanna see that shitshow occur in the Commission, Wirt's your guy... Oh my goodness, it is cold out here, does this place ever see the sun? Wait, the mic is on-"

What ensued later was Harland frantically rushing out of the stage and calling himself an Uber to his hotel room out of pure embarrassment.

Well, that is one country certainly not voting for him... At least, that's what he thinks.

[Spain]

Juncker saw with disbelief how Tarek was escorted out by security after going insane once more. He had seen a lot of things throughout his long life, yet he had never seen anything like that ever. "Can any candidate from the United Duchies ever be stable? We have a European Mental Health phone service we are paying thousands of euros for and people who need to call seem not to use it... I certainly need to tell Donald to review that.", he thought, while he witnessed the odd scene.

Surprisingly, the good, old Jean-Claude had an amazing ability to remain focused even if mad people popped up next to him and started to do weird things. He remained calm and listened to Wirt's sort of closing statement. When it was finally his turn, he delivered his statement:

"My dear Europeans, I’d like to thank you for watching and listening to this debate, as well as thanking Aron and the security members for their incredible work tonight. What’s just happened doesn’t represent the EU and can only be called shameful.

Back in July, Europe elected me as their Premier Commissioner, putting their trust on me. Last month, when I decided not to stand for re-election due to my inactivity, you once more asked me to be your Premier, I accepted. Now, your will has been translated into my candidacy, and fate’s wanted me to be the only one standing for this office. It’ll be a huge honour to serve you, as always, with great satisfaction and emotion. Furthermore, I want to thank you for trusting me, for believing on the power of Europe, for giving me one more chance.

With the budget soon to be passed by the European Council, the European Agricultural Fund already codified as an act, and our Union on track to improving, my second term will be oriented into that: making something out of this Union you can feel proud of. I might not be young, perfect or liked by everyone: at my age, that’s impossible, those of you watching that are aged over 70 will certainly know. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter if some of you don’t like me or if I’m not young: I just want to work for you and the European Union.

Europe, let’s continue our love affair, let’s take the streets with our European flags and show those who have lost all hopes on us that we’re still here, fighting for this union. Let’s unleash the Power of Europe, let’s keep improving the EU, let’s keep moving forward. But overall, let’s remain united, because unity is what makes us stronger."
