SPEAKER FIROUX CAMPAIGNS FOR COUNCILLOR FALK IN VAYINAOD
Saint Dominico, Inquista - July 26, 2020 | Speaker Edward Firoux has spent his weekend in Vayinaod campaigning for Councillor Carita Falk, who is up for re-election as Vayinaod's Councillor to the European Union. Flying in to Nyetthem on Friday, Firoux spent the day attending several campaign events alongside Councillor Falk, before then traveling to Strondheim on Saturday to host two separate rallies for his colleague. Firoux will spend his Sunday in less friendly territory, Nordsyen, where we will be speaking to several media outlets in hopes of encouraging and energizing Falk supporters to head to the polls.Councillor Falk is widely expected to cruise to victory, but Firoux has warned her supporters to not become complacent. "The only poll that matters is the election day poll. It's important that you show up to cast your vote for Councillor Falk, and that you also make sure that your family and friends go out and cast a vote for the Councillor," he told a group of supporters in Nyetthem.
While in Vayinaod, the Speaker has praised the Vardic Councillor's contributions to the European Union, particularly her recent amendment to Nuclear Proliferation Act. Firoux described her amendment as a great step forward in reinvigorating the ENAA and protecting Europe from nuclear proliferation, and stated that it was a very significant diplomatic victory for Vayinaod, which subsequently won a seat on the ENAA itself.
"Councillor Falk is unquestionably the strongest candidate for Councillorship. She has the strongest grasp on foreign policy, and during her time as Councillor, has brought Vayinaod to the forefront of European diplomacy. She has helped restore and reinvigorate the ENAA, and she impressively won Vayinaod a seat at the table. Especially at a time like now, with such uncertainties concerning nuclear powers like Icholasen, a seat on the ENAA is more important than ever. Councillor Falk has been extremely successful in her advancement of Vardic interests," Firoux told rally attendees in Strondheim.
Firoux also spoke of the Vardic Councillor's Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen, which the Speaker praised. "Councillor Falk has been on the frontlines of European politics, containing and preventing the spread of communism. She authored the motion to condemn the illegal coup in Icholasen, which was then passed. The European Council has done its due diligence on levying measures on the usurpers, and it's up to the governments of Europe to hold onto their ends of the bargain. It's worth noting that the European Progressive Alliance has been at the centre of containing the spread of communism in the Council, and it's been the EPA affiliated governments across Europe which have stood up to the Nicoleizian usurpers. The governments of Fremet and Vayinaod deserve special attention and praise for their actions on containing communism within the isle of Icholasen. Since being elected, my own government in Inquista has now quickly been playing catch-up, but we're right with you."
Nordsyen was popular territory for Dragan Trympov in the most recent Commission elections. Speaking to reporters there, the Speaker took shots at the Pravoslaviyan mogul. "During the Commission elections, we heard so much talk from so many politicians about containing the spread of communism. Yet, there is only one group - only one - which has taken action against the communist usurpers in Icholasen. That's the EPA. We took action in the Council, which was spearheaded by Councillor Falk. It's been EPA governments which have upheld this motion, and EPA governments which have taken clear and bold action, with particularly notable efforts being put into place by the governments of Fremet, Vayinaod and Inquista. We've heard literally nothing from Dragan Trympov, who is sitting very quietly and idly by right now. As always, he talked a big game, but ultimately delivered nothing. I also might add, it was I who recently repealed the Refugee Protection Act, which he was unable and unwilling to do, despite also talking a big game on that as well."
The Refugee Protection Act was an act often lambasted by Dragan Trympov while on the campaign trail, but was recently repealed by the Speaker. The Speaker also touted his recently proposed Net Neutrality Act, which he used as further evidence of the EPA championing the interests of Vardics and Europeans in the European Council.
