Jean-Claude Juncker: Day 4 - Cycling in Summer
11th Rally
Tullion - Leagio
22-08-2020
The Junckbike and the Junckyle. The difference between them is that the Junckbike is not electric, while the Junckyle is.It was a very warm day in Tullion, the Leaogian Capital City. Juncker woke up, got a shower, ate his breakfast and got dressed for another rally, this time in one of the main squares in Tullion. There were lot of people with European flags going to the rally, and some even where waiting in the hotel's door, because there is where the event really started. The Junckervan was also giving support in Tullion and around the south of Europe, which made the young European Progressive Alliance people to be taking part on Juncker's camapign,
The Internal Affairs candidate got out of his hotel and introduced the new bikes to some media that was there. He had been in Leagio like 2 weeks ago, and getting the bikes was a way to say "I stand with the fight against climate change". Juncker got on the Junckbike and started to cycle around the Leagioan streets. So did his camapign team, which rode the electric ones and the not-electric too. The rally was just 400m away from the hotel, and when the team arrived, a thunderstorming applause took place while some chanted the Commissioner's name. Rather be started to play as Juncker went up to the stage in that applause. He waved his hand to say hello and clapped along with the assistants to thank everyone who was there.
"Good afternoon Tullion! Good afternoon Leagio! Good afternoon to the whole European Union for one more day, as always, following this rally live from social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube through the EPA official accounts and mines too. It is great to be back in Leagio, and today I will talk about what we discussed in my meeting with President Lifejumper, and also about Climate Change.
With that said, let's start. As you may know, I was in Leagio like 2 weeks ago, and I met with President Lifejumper, and we discussed about Leagio having an issue with turning into green energies. And we discussed how we could help Leagio but also, how could the European Union help. And we have set a precendent for every single case, which needs to be studied of course, if someone has problems to turn into green energy, I would like to talk about your country case while giving it an European Union perspective of what to do in those cases. I believe that the European Union must get incolved into fighting against climate change, and that's why we would found those countries by loans they will need to return later on. This would not only make the European Union to have a sustainable way to lend the money and get it back with no losts of it, but to help those countries which need extra funds from us and that expect a responsible and helpful European response to the matter."
The crowd cheered and started a big round of applause
"And now, we are getting into the main point of the day, the one that we came here for and a reason why we have used both, Junckbikes and Junckyles. And that is fighting against climate change by turning Europe green. First of all, we need to focus on energy. If we want to get a greener Europe, where we are stopping climate change every single day, we will need to have eco-responsible energies all around, such as wind turbines, solar plants, water plants or any way to get energy in an eco-responsible way. Electric cars would also be a way to stop climate change, as we need to pollute less when we are driving from one place to another. That's why, along with other member states, I'll try to develop a master plan to get electric cars in the whole European Union, with no benefits for one nation but for all of them. Third of all, I would like to get an European Agreement for Climate Change. This European Agreement, which I would like all member states to sign, would be a good start point to start fighting against climate change for once at all. At the moment, some individual actions have been taken by the different European Union member states' governments, but we have never given a common answer from the European Union's institutions, such as the European Commission. Recently, the European Council passed an act to protect the reefs, but that's not enough for us. We need bigger measures, that take every single part of what Climate Change affects to, like the environment, the proper climate, the sea, the industry or how do we go to other places. And finally, in that pact I would like to encourage the use of public transport, as of Junckyles or Junckbikes, making pollution to decrease in major cities. Obviously, the bikes you buy, own or are lent by your city are not going to get those names, as it would be funny but ridiculous to get bikes named after me. Maybe an airport would be fine."
Juncker and the crowd laughed. Then, a thunderstorming applause took place while Juncker smiled
"With that, ladies and gentlemens, we have come to an end, sadly. But I think this is not the end of myself. These elections, we need to get out there, to the polling stations, and vote for those candidates that you certainly know will do the best for Europe. The European Progressive Alliance will always stand on the side of every single European citizen, without making any difference if you support PEL, ELDR, MEGA or an independent candidate. During the past months and years we have shown we know how to do these kind of jobs. Let's get a better Europe once again.
Thank you very much for coming! Have a nice day!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: The Interview
EUnews live from Dairghaxburo
22-08-2020Juncker was ready, also was the interviewer, who was Nikola de Rossi. Both were having a nice talk before entering live. Juncker wasn't nervous, in fact, he wanted an interview in a TV channle that could be seen anywhere in Europe. And that's why EUnews came out. The interview, completely in English, was made from the hotel he was staying and hours before a rally he would do later. The EUnews countdown and further intro came live, and after it finished, the interview started:
NdR: Good afternoon and welcome to this Interview with Jean-Claude Juncker, Internal Affairs Commissioner since May and now candidate to get a 2nd term in office. I'm Nikola de Rosi and we are live from the Duxburian Union's capital city, Dairghazburo. Mr. Juncker, is a pleasure to be here this afternoon with you. What are your feelings about this interview?
JCJ: Good afternoon Nikola and also I would to say good afternoon to those seeing this interview all around Europe. I really wanted this interview to take place and I'm very happy about coming here and answering your questions and also all the Europeans' questions concerning my campaign and attemt to get a 2nd term in office.
NdR: First question Mr. Juncker. During your campaign, you have said you want a better Europe and also, your vision of the region is like if it was a team. Why do you think the European Union is like a team and what should we upgrade in the EU?
JCJ: The European Union is a common project, not somes' project. During the past years, we have been able to see how the European Commissioner and Councillors had to reach agreements, cooperate, unite into Eurogroups and more importantly, work together to achieve what they really wanted. Europe can't be seen as a way to get unique benefits from it, but as a region that works together for making everyone's lifes easier. About the second question I think Europe still has a long path to walk, in diplomacy, in Climate Change and every single competence the European Union got through the years.
NdR: We have seen that you have focused on the matters that, in your opinion, are important for Europe, but not into a reform of the European Institutions, which has been a very commented topic during your 1st term as Commissioner for Internal Affairs. What do you think about these proposals and more importantly, would they give extra representations to minorities like PEL members for example?
JCJ: The proposed reform of the European Institutions is not a good idea being sincere. At the moment, European nations get a fair representation and voice on the Council proposals. Introducing a proportional system would make some small nations to have less representations and newcomers would have to wait until the next election to choose the members of the new council. About other Eurogroups, which I wouldn't call minorities as every single support deserves respect, it would be difficult to get representation. When the topic came out, I talked with an expert in EU politics which gave me the example of Spain: Spain is a very pro-EPA country, as the ruling is an EPA party, and it has an absolute majority. If a 52% of the voters vote for EPA, and the other 48% would slit between 3 parties, we would get a majority of EPA members being elected, unrepresenting other options like PEL, MEGA, ELDR or any independent that could run. It would be unfair.
NdR: I would like to talk about the Juncker App or Junckapp like many people call it. Mennrimiak banned it after protests against you were hosted in the country, and despite not having a good start, it has reached 102 millions downloads. Is the European Commission working on it or do you think that the maximum success has been reached?
JCJ: The European Commission app is always being upgraded and developed. In the European Assembly meeting, new ideas were given and now we are working on a new version, but we haven't reached the maximum success, as that's completely impossible. Nothing or no one is perfect on this region, and the app is not perfect. In the European Commission webpage, we opened a feedback section time ago to allow European citizens to tell us what features would they like to see on it. I can reveal that we are working on another fix, Euroapp 2.0, which would include the possibility to message Commissioners, and they would be able to get a videoconference with you, as answering your message. Commissioners would be able to start meetings with the app users and have a nice chat with them, receiving feedback. If this is a popular thing, we would start working on taking the app to the Council.
NdR: On a recent interview, the independent Premier Commissioner candidate, Walter Cocx said your 5G idea was "an expensive bigwig project". Do you think he is right or he is wrong?
JCJ: That's his opinion, but i can guarantee is not an expensive project. While some want to get satellites and things like that, we want to introduce 5G along with private companies. He also said that money does not grow in the trees, and we need to take that in count. What I would like to do is subsidising enterprises to get the 5G moving, as using TV aerials to let that connection reach every single place in Europe. This would not be the first time the European Union gives subsides and then gets a revenue from this. If you look properly, those companies will ay their taxes, and the money from those taxes go to each member state government. Each member states gives money to the European Union, which means the money will return at any point.
NdR: Mr. Juncker, before we move to the Europeans' questions, I would like to ask you about your expectations for the results. Do you think you'll get a 2nd term?
JCJ: I really want to get a 2nd term in office, to get those ideas moving and also to let my successor a better Europe than the one we had 4 months ago. I think I have chances of winning, but I won't be the winner until the results are announced. That depends of the Europeans and what their choice is. Winning or losing, I'll always show respect for my rivals as I did in May.
NdR: So now we have got into the Europeans questions. We have got 5 questions for you. The first one is from a young girl called Alejandra, from Spain. The question is: "Mr. Juncker, do you think that the European countries will be for getting a climate pact?"
JCJ: Thank you for your great question Alejandra. To get a common agreement between the different member states, you need to negotiate, meet and make proposals that every government supports. Being the Commissioner for Internal Affairs is not an easy job, because you need to be able to mediate and also know what every single European Union country would like to see from the European Institutions. But I personally think that if work hard for an agreement, we will get one.
NdR: The second question comes from Czech Slavia. Lukáš Dostál asked this: "Mr. Juncker, what is your position on nuclear weapons?"
JCJ: Thanks for your question Lukáš. I think that the current European system to regulate nuclear weapons is the best way to control rogue states don't get weapons and that no member state threats another or does crazy things with them. With that said, I think the ENAA does a great job and they have my whole support.
NdR: The next question is from Gert Schuylers, bin collector for Telum City Council, in Inimicus. He's asking the following question: "Mr. Juncker, how are you going to pay for all the stuff you are proposing?"
JCJ: Thank you for your very important question Gert. Well, I have 2 types of proposals: Those how will be funded by subsides and the European Union won't pay for it completely and those how will requiere funds from the European Union. The first type won't become a loss of money as that money will return to the budget at some point, so there's nothing to worry about that at the moment. But I want to focus on the 2nd type of proposals. This year budget reached the amazing value of €73,267,821,908.85. Of that money, we expended €31,733,835,111.70, meaning that the European Union got a surplus of €41,533,986,797.15 which is returned to the member states. The European Economy is growing every year, which means that the surplus could be bigger the next year if we keep the same estructure. Now, if we add some new charges to the budget, the surplus will decrease. What we have to do is thinking if we can afford it, if we need it and most importantly, to not lose our mind. If we start to expend the money anywhere without thinking if member states citizens and governments will get benefits from these proposals, we will become deficitary. So that's why we need to promiss according to what we can afford, which is what I'm doing. You can trust me, I won't expend the money on stupid things, but on things we can all take benefits from.
NdR: Forth question comes from Icholasen. Laulw Moran has asked: "Commissioner, what was your best achievement in office and why?"
JCJ: Thank you for your really interesting and hard question Laulw. Before answering to it, I want to tell you that I will always stand on the Free and only Icholasen side, and that we are working to get your lands back as faster as we can. Now, getting into the answer. I think my best achievement in office was to get 16 leaders to seat in the seat in the same room and in the same table. Setting up the first European Assembly meeting was a very important challenge for me, one of my promises, so that's why I consider it my best achievement. Anyway, bringing peace back to Eastern Haane was another great achievement, which I'm very proud of.
NdR: And finally, the last question comes from Ria Levion, from the Duxburian Union. " Commissioner, on the campaign trail, you mentioned desire to create a European Police force. The last time a "EUROPOL" proposal came to the Council, it was widely and soundly rejected. What is different about your proposal and why should member states give up their own policing to a less-accountable entity half a continent away?"
JCJ: This a really good question, and I would like to thank Ria for it. My EUROPOL proposal is not intended to create a proper police force, with independet officers from other European Police corps, but to enhance cooperation between the different corps all around Europe. For example, if a top searched criminal in the Duxburian Union hid in Spain, but the police didn't know exactly where, both Police forces would be able to deploy in Spain and cooperate to find the criminal before he dissapears once again.

Jean-Claude Juncker: Day 5
12th Rally
Dairghaxburo - Duxburian Union
23-08-2020Juncker woke up in his hotel and did the same things he was doing during all the campaign: Shower, breakfast and getting dressed. But he added one more thing to the list. Getting some papers ready. In his rallies, Juncker never has papers along with him, which makes his rallies unpredictable. But, the next 2 meetings would be really hard, as those 2 countries were 2 of the richest in Europe. Still, it would be easy to make a better one than Winston, which his whole speech was a sheet of paper Juncker could fit in 8 lines of writing.
Juncker arrived to the rally place where surprisingly, many people was waiting for him. An off-voice opened the meeting while Juncker was waiting: "Good morning Dairghaxburo! We are pleased to see you all here today. Please welcome the EPA Candidate for Internal Affairs... JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKEEER!" Rocky theme started to play while Juncker got up into the stage. He waved his hand saying hello to all the assistants who were there, standing along with him in one of hos hardest ralllies in the whole campaign.
"Good morning Dairghaxburo! Good morning Duxburian Union! And also, good morning to those people that are watching us live from all the Social Networks! Today we are facing Day 5 of this camapign that is taking me and my team all around the European Union. Before we start, I would like to say it's great to be back to the Duxburian Union, a nation that gave me a warm welcome 4 months ago, and they have done the same right now. "
The crowd erupted in thunderstroming applause
"And now, we are getting started. I would like to talk about the concerns of the Duxburians in an European perspective. If you look carefully, the Duxburian Union is the member state that gives more money to the European Budget, and that's why one of the concerns of you, the Duxburians, and of many other European citizens that frecuently ask me: 'How are you going to pay for everything you have proposing and you will propose?' Well, today I'm explaning myself much better than I did yesterday on my interview. The European Union is experiencing an increase of the budget per year. That means that if this year, the total amount of money we've got for expending was €73,267,821,908.85, next year it would become bigger. The revenue was €41,533,986,797.15, which is a really huge amount of money that is given back to the member states. Now, if the European Union continues its growth and we keep the same expenses, the revenue will be higher. Those things I would like to fund or create would be along with the budget, but there is a difference between both. How we fund them. For example, the 5G project I have proposed: The 5G would be installed by private companies instead of the European Union paying hundreds of millions for it. That's why we would give subsides to those companies wishing to start the installation of the network. But this subsides will come back to the Budget later, as those companies pay tax in their own countries, and member states are the ones that give the European Union its money. We need to find an equal distribution between subsides on one side and extra expending. And that's what I will do."
The crowd applauded Juncker words
"You might still wonder about if that projects are reliable or not. Well, I think they could be. But if they are not, we will be able to find out. I promise that I will get a report for all my proposals in which I get the Council to know about the estimated expense we will have to afford towards creating these new European Institutions and giving subsides. I want the Council to be the one that controls on what we expend our money in the Commission, as they do with the budget but in a different scale. 'And what are the benefits we are getting from this projects Mr. Juncker?' you might be asking. So, I'm going to talk about the Climate Change proposals for example. Climate change is happening now, and needs an urgent response. If we don't stop it, the world is not going to be a good place for future generations. Applying measures and thinking if we can afford them or not are a kickstart point to end with it. Every project I am proposing will be useful in the future, because we will be doing things future generations will thank us for. But we need to stand together."
The crowd started a big round of applause
"Ladies and gentlemen, with the European Progressive Alliance, with Angela Merkel, with Antoni Reynels and with me you don't have to worry about where the money is going. During the past years, the EPA has known how to expend the European money with responsability, and investing in things we now have proven they are really good for all the Europeans. We don't need unified education curriculums, we need to know how to spend the money. And we will spend it in useful things, for the benefit of every single European citizen.
Thank you very much for coming! Have a nice day!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: Trip to Trympov's Land
13th Rally
Belogradchik - Pravoslaviya
23-08-2020It was a nice day in Pravoslaviya. Juncker had just arrived at the airport and got into his campaign car to get into the rally. He knew that he wasn't a fan of Pravoslaviyans, as they mostly loved Dragan Trympov, but he needed to get a rally here, for respect to those that despite being in a MEGA country, were supporting him wherever he went and whatever he did during his term as Commissioner.
Juncker decided to not bring papers this time. He was going to talk about Investigation, Development and Innovation for the whole European Union. This was the rally number 13th, which meant he was just 1 rally away from getting the same rallies as the last campaign. But he was going for more, or that's what he was thinking on. Theya rrived to the rally place and the people started to clap. The off-voice opened the meeting: "Hello Pravoslaviya! Are you ready?!" - "YEEEEES!!" - the crowd answered back. "So give a warm welcome to our favourite commissioner, JEAN-CLAUUUUUDEEEEEEEEE JUNCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!" Take on me started to play and Juncker went up to the stage while a thunderstroming applause took place.
"Good afternoon Belogradchik! Good afternoon Pravoslaviya! Good afternoon to everyone that is following this rally live from our social networks' accounts, to the European Union! Before we start today, I would like to thank some people: Thank you to everyone that is here today for coming, because desite I'm not the most popular candidate in your country, you are here supporting me. And secondly, I'd like to thank the ones that messaged me, sent me letters or left comments in my posts. I'll try to answer all of them when I have time, I promise."
The crowd erupted in thunderstorming applause
"Today, we are talking about Investigation, Development and Innovation in the European Union, a topic we really need to look into but being responsible with the expense we make on it. First of all, I would like to tell you why do we need to investigate, to develop the European Union and also, why do we need to innovate. It's really simple: Investigating, developing our countries and innovating is part of the human evolution and of what is going to come in the next years. That's why I would like to lead the European Union innovation, development and investigation. Let's start with innovation. Europe needs to innovate, the member states do. That's why I would like to aply the "Innovation Europe" concept, which would remove obstacles to innovation, like expensive patenting, market fragmentation, slow standard-setting and skills shortages, which currently prevent ideas getting quickly to market and revolutionise the way the public and private sectors work together, notably through the implementation of Innovation Partnerships between the EU institutions, national and regional authorities and business. This last proposal will be something we are going to do when we start implementing the 5G by mobile masts. I said TV Aerials but I always referred to mobile masts. Subsidising enterprises which will enhance collaboration between the public and the private sector. That's how Europe needs to work in the future, as we can't afford every single project we want to do, so we need to cooperate in these matters. As I've said lots of times, that money we expend on subsides will come back to us later on, thanks to taxes."
The crowd applauded Juncker words
"Investigation and development is also important, like for example Climate Change or transportation subsided by the European Union, which I will talk about it later on. Developing measures or new technologies to fight against climate change must be one of our main objectives, as investigating for useful things for every member state. You might wonder why should we invest in investigation or developing our countries if we are fine as we are. And I'll give you three reasons to convince you: First of all, everything we discover or develop new ideas to get a better European Union. I believe in an open innovation system, which means opening up the innovation process to people with experience in fields other than academia and science, including more people in the innovation process so knowledge will circulate more freely and then, the knowledge can then be used to develop products and services that can create new markets."
The crowd applauded Juncker words
"Ladies and gentlemen, the European Progressive Alliance will always work for a better Europe, and these elections Angela Merkel is the best choice for Premier Commissioner, as I think I'm the best choice for Internal Affairs Juncker and the crowd laughed a bit. That's why I'm asking you to vote for this project, for this Eurogroup. We have got great achievements, and we will get more together, with hard work. I need the European Union to be a better place, and the European Union needs you too.
Thank you very much! Have a nice day!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: Going Back to Brno
14th Rally (Small one)
Brno - Czech Slavia
23-08-2020
The Junckvan, on a 2nd tripAfter the announcement of a new candidate from Eastern Haane, the Jean-Claude Juncker's team started to move the van all around Europe. During the last days, the youth organization of the European Progressive Alliance had been driving the van around all the European Union's countries. Juncker decided to join the youth on Brno, where he had to campaign and would spend the night before travelling to Inquista, where his campaign would resume tomorrow.
When the van arrived, people was waiting there with posters saying "Juncker for Internal". He got off the van and the crowd applauded in a thunderstorming way. A little speech was set to happen. People took photos with Juncker and also asked him for autographs. He finally approached to a stand and started to talk. The applause was still going on and Jean-Claude thanked everyone.
"Good evening Brno! Good evening Czech Slavia! And also, good evening to the whole European Union that, as always, are following this event, or smaller rally thanks to our social media team that always does a great job for getting all the European Union citizens to see our events. I have come back to Czech Slavia because we need to get as many votes as possible for the elections, but also to get more people into the project. On my first ever campaign as a candidate to become the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs, I did 2 rallies here, and this campaign, I'm doing 2 once again. I really like coming to Czech Slavia, and I also believe you knew since the last campaign. I would like to talk you about how actually does an Internal Affairs Commissioner do his job, how difficult is it to manage the different crisis that there are in the European Union and also, I would like to tell you about the European Assembly meeting or, how I did call it; The European Heads of Government or State meeting."
"First of all, being your Internal Affairs Commissioner during this 4 months hasn't been the easy. You need to know how to mediate between countries, to understand what the sides on a conflict want to achieve, what they would like to get. And the Eastern Haanean conflict has been one of my hardest challenges during these four months. But, how difficult is it to manage the conflicts between nations? Well, depends of the situation. Sometimes those nations can't get along between them, making a hard mediation to take place and try to cut any possible way of the negotiation getting uncontrolled. If you get the event uncontrolled, nothing good will go away from that, so you need to think hard and have lots of plans. And finally, we are talking about the European Assembly meeting. There's nothing I'm prouder of than getting 16 European leaders seated in the same room, in the same table, and discussing about the topics which mostly concern the European Union. We all made history there, and I still want to do history."
The crowd applauded Juncker's words
"Ladies and gentlemen, this will be my last visit to Czech Slavia in campaign. I hope that, with these 2 rallies, I could convince you to join the European Progressive Alliance team and also my team. We, the EPA, are the best choice for the European Union, and we have proven that through the European history. We are here to make the European Union actually work, to make it a better place to live, to visit, to enjoy, to be responsible with climate and to giva an answers to the questions and concerns of the millions of Europeans. We can do it together, and we will.
Thank you very much! Goodnight!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: Day 5 - Driving the bus
15th Rally
Saint Dominico - Inquista
24-08-2020
The JunckbusThe Junckbus came of the rescue of Juncker. After spending the night in Brno, the bus picked the Commissioner up. During the trip, he was working on his next rally in Saint Dominico, Inquista. He was exited about visiting Saint Dominico, as he always loved the ambient there. Last year, he released the Junckbikes here, and now he was releasing another great mean of transportartion, the bus.
The private bus line arrived to Saint Dominico, and people started to guide the bus through the streets of the Inquistan capital city by riding the Junckbikes. Juncker approached to the front seat and waved his hand as a sign of sayinf hello to those that were waiting for the bus to go through their streets. The rally place was full, he had never seen a thing like this before. He got off the bus and the crowd erupted in thunderstorming applause to the Commissioner. Then, the off-voice came on: "Hello Saint Dominico... We know you are ready for this, so please welcome the coolest man on Europe, he is... JEAN-CLAUUUUUUUUUUUDE JUNCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!" The crowd went on with the applauses and Juncker entered the stage with Livin' la Vida Loca playing.
"Good afternoon Inquista! Good afternoon Saint Dominico! And also, good afternoon to the whole of the European Union, to those Europeans that are watching this event life from the social media! I would like to tell you something before we finally start. You have surprised me and made some tears come out of me. Last year we all rode the Junckbikes as you might remember, but this year you have riden them while we came on the bus. That's impressive, and I need to recognise you for it. Thank you very much for your warm and great welcoming."
Juncker applauded the crowd and the crowd applauded Juncker's words
"Today, we are going to talk about Free Trade. In the European Assembly summit we had last July, I proposed the Free Trade and Movement topic to be part of the agenda, and I might say it wasn't a very successful point with an exception made on free trade ideas. Mr. Isla, who I would like to salute from here, said we should set the baselines for free trade in the European Union, and I recognise it was a really good idea that we are having to work on during the next term. But good ideas will always need to face some challenges, and I will explai you what those challenges are. First of all, you need all the European Union member states to agree on how we should manage this whole free trade thing, what conditions should we get and what would be the rights of every country towards this new Free Trade association. Every single challenge or every single measure you want to put in place in the European Commissioner needs to get a huge consense or else, the go ahead of every single European leader, whoch is diffult. It would be nonsense if we would set up a free trade zone in the whole of the European Union and Inquista would stand out. That's why we are doing a meeting first to set the baselines of what could be a free trade zone in the whole European Union, where we would need to provide countries the rights to cancel their free trade with other nations for certain reasons and more importantly, to make the enterpirses be able to access the free market."
A big round of applause took place
"And now, we need to get into the benefits of free trade, because it has some. For example, we would increase the Economic Efficency. Free trade policies mean that each country focuses on its comparative advantage, lowering the price of goods and making everyone better off, which is really good for everyone as getting less corrution in the different European states. Great, but would anyone be up for that? That is something we will need to negotiate, but from here I would like to send a message to every head of government who could be watching this life. We will all have to give up some of our objectives and get other policies you could not like. But if we want this to happen, to actually be a real thing in the whole European union, we will need to meet and hard-work together. There's no other way to do it together, as do it alone would be an irresponsible move from me that I would never do. You have my word on negotiating, and I will wait for you all."
A thunderstorming applaude took place
"Ladies and gentlemen, these elections we are taking a great choice like we did in May. We need to choose between those who don't have an stable idea of Europe and that want to destroy it, or responsible people like the European Progressive Alliance candidates. Together, with your aim of getting a better Europe like many others, we will get this done and Europe will be a better place for everyone. We can do it, we just need to win it.

Jean-Claude Juncker: Truck & Chairs
16th Rally
Trondheim - Fremet
24-08-2020
After the massive rally in Saint Dominico, Juncker took a flight from Inquista to Fremet. When he arrived, the Fremetiam Juncker's team had ready another surprise, the Juncktruck. He was amazed by this precious truck and about what he was carrying, some chairs with his face, or Junckchairs, in which the assistants were pretended to seat. With all said, Juncker hop on the truck with 2 team members and the others went back on the van following the truck lead.
The truck went trough the city centre, taking the attention of many visitors that followed it and the Fremetians, who were actually advised about this happening. The main avenue had to be traffic-restricted for the rally, with only the Juncktruck and the van being allowed to go through. They arrived and the team started to get the chairs on their seats. After all was ready, Juncker got off the truck and the people started to clap. The off-voice came out: "Trondheim, here he is, your candidate, JEAN-CLAUUUUUUDE JUNCKEEEEER!!!" Wake Me Up started to play and Juncker got to the stage while the crowd was clapping and the music played.
"Good afternoon Trondheim! Good afternoon Fremet! And, as I always say, good afternoon to the whole European Union that, as always, are following this rally live from their home, from their city's streets or from anywhere in Europe thanks to our great social media team. Before we start, I would like to congratulate you for getting Angela Merkel to be the European Progressive Alliance's Premier Commissioner candidate, and also I have to recognise I'm a big fan of her."
An extrordinary applause took place
"So, let's start with the rally! Today, I'm going to talk about two really important things for Fremet but also for the others European Countries. Industry and Healthcare. Both are really important for the European Union, and we are starting with industry. As you might now, Fremet is one of the most industrialized countries in the European Union, which means that it exports a lot of products, specially furniture. When I was here in April, I visited the FKEM materials' research centre, and I must say it was an amazinx experience where I learnt lots of new things about the furniture we all have at home. But let's focus in the next months to come. As I said lots of times, a Climate Change agreement is one of my main priorities, but we shouldn't just focus on what will happen with the climate or our cars, but also with the industry. To sign that treaty, we will need the support of every single economical sector, meaning the industry must be there. That's why I will invite the Industry and many other economic sectors to take part at the Climate Conference we are hosting in Europolis to sign that agreement all together. I am not letting anyone behind, I never did and I will never do that. I always say that if something needs to last for a long time, we need to get as much people in it as possible. As most consensus we have around one thing, less tensions and problems we are having."
The crowd hollers, whistles and shouts Juncker name while they clap
"And now, we are talking about healthcare. That man from Reitzmag, the same one it's not worth the time to talk of, says he wants to help every country, and we say: Let every country do what they want with their healthcare. Audience claps strongly Thanks to the European Progressive Alliance, specially to Councillor Firoux and the independent Councillor from Malborya, we have got the European Health Organization and now, we are getting an European common dial for tourists. And you will say: 'They should learn our emergency number instead!" Let me give you an example. Imagine you are on a trip with other tourists, and 5 of you get lost in the forest. No one is from the country you are in, and no one knows the emergency dial. With the European common dial, we would get the people to be helped instead of panicking. 'And what about our national emergency numbers, would they just dissapear?' No, they won't. This initiative is set to help those tourists visiting your country or any other foreign country, but you could still recieve assistance by your dial here in Fremet. The new dial would also include attendance in your language, so it would be easier to tell what's happening to you and send aid to you."
The crowd did a big round of applause
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sad to say this but we have got to an end. I hope that these proposals, along with my other campaign proposals that I will tell and I've told during the whole campaign could have convinced you to vote for the European Progressive Alliance. I just want to make a better Europe, and Europe needs every single citizen to be better. We need to focus on what we want for Europe, and I want solidarity, innovation, development, reseacrh, empathy and more things.
Thank you very much! Have a nice day!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: Day 6
17th Rally
Farinthia - Noctoria
25-08-2020Jean-Claude Juncker found himself travelling to Noctoria in the morning. He had always thought that dictatorships were not a good support, but he couldn't let that people out of his campaign. At the end he was the Commissioner of Internal Affairs in the European Union, and he thought member states are the one that make the European Union, not him. That's why he decided to go into Noctoria.
A special authorisation allowed him to enter the country, so to enter the city of Farinthia. He knew that Noctoria was a dictatorship, and this rally would be looked at with many attention from the undemocratic regime of the country. But he had to tell the people who he was and what did he do, apart from talking about the newcomers to the European Union, a group where Noctoria was at the moment. This was going to be a sad rally, as no gadgets, no welcome or music. Just him entering the stage and ronouncing his speech. When the car arrived, an off-voice came out: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Jean-Claude Juncker!" Juncker came out to the stage with some piano music playing, but nothing that the crowd could enjoy.
"Good morning Farinthia! Good morning Noctoria! Good morning to the whole of the European Union that is watching this event live of their houses, or from any part of Europe. I'm very happy to see you all here, with you, and also that you have come today with me and with my whole team to this rally. Today, we are talking about 2 really important topics for me, and you are discovering them now."
People aplauded Junkcer's words
"First of all, I'm going to talk about newcomers. I would like to say that newcomers are welcome to the European Union, and we need their integration. We, the European Commission and the different member states shall help the newcomers to a further integration in Europe, as our region, Europe; and our European Union is entitled to grow. The European Progressive Alliance supports cooperation and collaboration of European states. When new nations arrive into the European Union, or join it, it's great to hear their proposals, even to know what is their political system, how do they work and what are the worried about. And that's why an European Commissioner, specially an Internal Affairs Commissioner needs to be conscious of how the nations see the European Union and what are the challenges they are facing. That's why I have put in place measures and iniciatives for integrating new nations into the European Union, such as the European Assembly meeting. But i want to go a step further on that. If I get elected, I will set up the 'European New Nations Conference', which will meet twice a year and will consist of meeting with the newest nations in the European Union, to allow not only the other nations but the European Commission to know about them much more that seeing the news. We need to work on integrating everyone into this common project."
The crowd clapped
"And now, I want to talk about something controversial here, which we have to defend from the European Commission and I personally stand for it. Democracy. The European Union needs to get democracy in every single country. You need to be free, to choose the one you want instead of having an imposed leader some of you might not want to be your leader. I personally rise against dictatorships, and I am fully against dictators in the European Union. We need to get democracy, and so Noctoria does. Every single negotiation requires an effort, and I will try to negotiate with the Noctorian Government to bring back democracy to Noctoria, as I will try to get democracy back to every undemocratic country in the European Union. People needs to choose their future, they don't want someone to tell them what they have to do or how do they need to think, they want to think on its own! I lived in a dictatorship for 21 years, and that's simply horrible. I'm against dictatorships, and I'm standing against them in my whole career as a Spanish Politican and a European Commissioner."
The crowd stayed silent, they live in a dictatorship so they couldn't clap
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you don't have the voice to choose what you want for the European Union. But I will fight for that, with no wars between Noctoria and the European Union. I have proven diplomacy always works, and so I will try to get democracy with diplomacy. And when you regain your voice, when you get back to vote freely, I will be proud of getting democracy for a country that deserves much more than a dictatorship.
Thank you very much! Have a nice day!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: Show must go on, despite the anti-Juncker Campaign
18th Rally
Hampton City - Reitzmag
25-08-2020After the Noctorian rally and leaving the country as faster as he can to avoid being trapped in the dictatorship, the team started its way to Reitzmag. They made a stop in Europolis, where they were taking a plane to reach Reitzmag much faster, and the bus could go back to Spain, where tomorrow there would be lots of events for the last rally of the campaign, which would be the 20th rally.
Jean-Claude Juncker arrived in Hampton Court International Airport and took a car to the city centre. He inevitably had to talk about the most stupid conflict in the whole of the European Union: The Hispanic-Reitzmic conflict, but he was going to be clear enough about that. He arrived at the rally and the off-voice started to talk: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Internal Affairs Commissioner... JEAN-CLAUDEEEE JUNCKEEEER!" Lie to me started to play while Juncker went up to the stage. He waved his hand and danced, and finally, he could start his speech.
"Good evening Hampton City! Good evening Reitzmag! And also, good evening to the whole European Union that as always is watching the Juncker campaign live from our social media from anywhere in Europe. Today we have entered on the staright line and we are facing the finish line of the campaign. But we have some rallies left, and we are doing all the rallies we have planned. With that said, let's get finally started!"
"Today, I want to talk about two important topics for me and that I personally manage or would manage if we finally get it implemented. The first topic is Culture. Ladies and gentlemen, have your heard any Internal Affairs Candidate but me talking about Culture, the European Heritage Act and how we are goint to protect the rich European Culture we all love. Since the Amendments made by Councillor Tusk and Speaker Firoux, the European Heritage Site Programme is under the Internal Affairs Commissioner managment. That means that every single candidate shall be worried about what to do with our culture. If I get re-elected, I will set up the applications for getting new Heritage Sites on the list and announce the new sites in 2 weeks. The European Progressive Alliance wants to protect our culture, and I promise I will work every single day to protect it. Culture will always be important for me and for any single candidate of the European Progressive Alliance."
The crowd strongly applauded Juncker's words
"And now, I'm moving on to my main proposal that I'm revealing today. The European Touristic Programme. The ETP (European Touristic Programme) would have 3 main objectives: Enhacing regional and foreign tourism in the European Union, giving every country a platform where they could advertise their countries to attract foreign tourists and also to help those visiting a foreign European country from any other member state or from another region. The first point would be related with the second one, as the 2nd leads to the first. The member states governments would be able to advertise their countries via the European Touristic Programme website, and every nation would have dedicated section where the Government or the Institution in charge of tourism could post new things about its nation. Then, foreign people from other regions or from the other European Nations would be able to discover what they would be able to find if the choose to visit any European country. And the 3rd point is also important, as we want to help tourists as much as we can. You will be able to see this webpage with no connection thanks to the European Commission up, which will recieve this information in the new fix we are working on. Some measures as the proposed common dial would be mentioned on the help section."
A surprisingly thunderstroming applause took place
"Ladies and gentlemen, despite what others says, the European Progressive Alliance always find itself as the main European Union protector and defender. We always bring up new ideas, new initiatives and new candidates that have the same purposes as I do. I know we are not very strong here, but we need to get out there and vote for the European Progressive Alliance, all together. That's the only way to protect the European Union and to make it much better. And we will do it. Let's go for it!
Thank you very much! Goodnight ladies and gentlemen!"

Jean-Claude Juncker: Approaching to the end
19th Rally
Hankkara - Mennrimiak
25-08-2020Jean-Claude Juncker took a flight from Hampton City to Mennrimiak. Being sincere, that country was the same he wanted to avoid all the campaign. When he went to Nofoaga, he should have gone there, but he didn't. The Mennrimians were tough people in Juncker's opinions, even some were rude as their councillor, who interrupted, knowing he was not allowed to come in, the European Assembly meeting to ask the question everyone in Europe except him knew the answer. Then he got angry and was rude towards Juncker, but it wasn't something new for the experienced Commissioner.
The plane landed and he checked the European Commission Mobile APP, which was still operative. He didn't knew how many people would have accomplished the dictatorial law which forbid the app, but the service was operative. The European Union was not going to let those people aside, those people that believed in the European Union and not in what the protesters, which were angry because of his rude Councillor, wanted to forbid it. Juncker got in a taxi and arrived to the rally place. Surprisingly, it wasn't empty. There was not too many people, but there was actually a crowd.
"Good evening Hankkara! Good evening Mennrimiak! And also, good evening to those spectators watching this rally live from their houses or wherever they are in our great European Union. I have come to Mennrimiak despite the last events here, but I couldn't let anyone behind, incluiding you. Also, despite the European Union App ban, I would like to announce that we have kept the service and we will work on a new version for it. You have the same rights than any European to get access into it."
Crowd applauded Juncker's words
"Today it's going to be a shorter rally than I am used to do, and my crowds are used to see, because I only have brought one topic to this rally, which is transport. The Transport concept idea in my last camapign was building the Eurostar with the European Union funds, but that's simply impossible and the Budget can not even get the amount of money we need to build the whole Eurostar. So, I've decided to get rid of the old project and make a whole new one. First of all, there wouldn't be ran by the European Union, but by the rail compnaies under their own services. The project would be called Eurorail, would receive subsides from the European Union and would be divided in 5 phases:
- Phase 1 would consist on analyzing the resources of every nation about public transport, specially focusing on trains, as it's the main matter. Once we have recieved all of that information, we would go to Phase 2.
- Phase 2. That one would consist on start seeing which routes are suitable to start between nations. Construction would receive subsides from the European Union, but the EU is not going to pay for it.
- Then, we move towards phase 3, when the first services between nations would start. The private companies that would get the service would run those services.
- Phase 4 would be hard to achieve, because benefits should be done before moving towards this one. In phase 4, the major infrastructures projects would start, like tunnels under the seas or bridges over them. Again, subsides would be given.
- And finally, phase 5, completion and starting the services between the whole EU, granting the Europeans a safe, confortable travel between European nations. The subsides would return back to the budget as those companies pay taxes, and is not a lost inversion."
The crowd erupted in thunderstorming applause
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that here I don't have many supporters, but I'm glad to see you all here today. We are going to make it possible, we are going to vote for the European Progressive Alliance and together, we will make a better Europe. I trust on the European Union, and you also trust that the EPA is the best choice for the European Union.
Thank you very much! Goodnight!"
Juncker decided to leave and take a flight back to Spain.

Jean-Claude Juncker: Day 6 - This is the end
20th Rally
Antequera - Spain
26-08-2020
It was a nice afternoon in Antequera, the 2nd Capital city of Spain. Pro-European Union demonstration arrived to the rally, as everyone who supported the EPA was there. Juncker arrived sooner than usual, because there were many things ready for this last meeting. He did everything he had to do before coming. The place started to be more crowded, the assistance was amazing. The off-voice decided to spoke, and the crowd started to cheer: "ESPAÑAAAAAA. PLEASE GIVE A THUNDERSTORMING APPLAUSE TO JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKEEEER" So they did. Juncker came to the stage and the off-voice said: "Now, please enjoy the show!"
No one knew what the off-voice was talking, but soon they would know. Tarzan boy started to play and everything started. 2 Junckjets crossed the sky with "God Save the Junckjet" written on the jets and painting the EU flag on the sky along with the Patrulla Águila. Behind them, a Junckopter and a Junckblimp were scorting the Juncklane. The aerial show seemed to be over, when a little plain with no Juncker things crossed the sky and a parachuitist came off the plane. When he opened the parachute, the crowd was able to see the new Junckchute. The crowd applauded the show.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should look at your back, to the train stop and also the tram stop!" In that moment, Dancing Queen started to play and the Juncktrain and the Junckram were standing in their respective stops. In the streets, the Juncktruck, Junckvan, Junckcar, Juncktank float, Junckbus, Junckyle, Junckbike, Junckaxi and the Junckorbike were parked there. The Junckzip-line was installed and behing the stage, on the closer pier to the stage, the Junckboat was being parked. And to end with this, the chairs were the Junckcairs, the same used in Fremet. Everyone applauded the show and Juncker finally proceeded:
"Good afternoon Antequera! Good afternoon Spain! Good afternoon to the whole European Union, that once again, and for the last time in this camapign is following the show, the demonstrations and the rally live from anywhere in Europe. I want to thank you all for all your efforts, to my team, and to whoever it's the responsible of making all this show. I'm very happy to be the EPA Candidate, your candidate."
The crowd applaude Juncker's words
"Today, I bring no proposals, but I'm going to talk about what we have done from the Internal Affairs Commission during this term and every proposal that we are applying for this new term. During the last term, I met with 16 European Leaders thanks to the European Heads of Government or State meeting. We solved the crisis in Eastern Haane, reached a deal to help Leagio on green energies that I will be taking to the European Council after the elections. I met with the Prime Minister of Czech Slavia, and we set the baselines for the new projects that are coming to Europe in the future, we introduced the European Union Mobile App which is really useful and so have proven the hundreds of millions of downloads it has received since it entered in operation. But the best thing I have done during these months is being the Commissioner of Internal Affairs of this marvelous region, of every single European citizen. And I have worked for all of you, with no difference like where you were from or ethnic, sexual orientation or gender. I believe on a multicultural Europe, where everyone is free. And I'm fighting for getting that Europe against these elections."
People started a big round of applause
"This camapign we have also brought up proposals like a brand new project for the old Eurostar, the European Touristic Programme, the guarantee of not overloading the European Union's budget, protecting the young people, the new ERASMUS programme, the EUROPOL and the European Technological Crimes Unit creation, protecting equality, using diplomacy to solve conflicts, we are going to celebrate Europe Day, the 5G project, the new Green deal for Europe along with using eco-responsible energies and other measures to stop climate change, bringing the European Institutions closer, the basleines for a Free Trade Area, pushing forward reserach, development and innovation, protecting the environment and creating the European Oceans and Waters Agency and more things we left pending on the first term and we are getting done in the 2nd term if I get re-elected. There are lots of measures, projects and things we can do for Europe, and as I didn't surrender when we had tension moments in the European Assembly meeting, I won't surrender on this camapign, you have my word"
A thunderstorming applause took the place
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure to campaign everywhere in Europe. We have been to Inquista, to Icholasen, Fremet, Reitzmag, Mennrimiak, Nocotoria, Nofoaga, Malborya, Czech Slavia, Duxburian Union, Pravoslaviya, Vayinaod and so on. Because that's what a candidate for Internal Affairs does, take its campaign everywhere in Europe to let the people know about their proposals. Now, let's go and win that debate to then win the elections and getting a better Europe.
Thank you very much for your support! Have a nice day!"
