We would like to remember everyone that King Juan Carlos I is not King Felipe VI. Everyone will be granted the right to protest and show his opinion as always, but we call to respect other opinions and to protest pacifically.

We are deeply concerned about the latest news of the Stonehaven derailment, that has killed 3 persons: A ScotRail driver, ScotRail conductor and a passenger that was travelling to Inverness.

I will attend, along with the Spanish President and the Scottish President, Jesús Aguilar and Nicola Studgeon, to the funeral that will be celebrated in their memory.
Investigations are now taking place and after results have been revealed, the Spanish and Scottish Governments will work together in order to make a plan to avoid more incidents like this.

STATEMENT - HAMPTON CITY ATTACK
Despite relationships between the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Reitzmag, we must condemn the shooting which has taken place today in Hampton City, Reitzmag. As a country that suffered a terrorist attack in 2017 in Barcelona, we stand against any terrorist. But we can't allow to make a Europarty responsible of what some crazy people have done. This European Commission campaign needs to be an example of unity and good attitudes instead of a succession of attacks because others think different than you. We cannot allow Europe to fall down into extremism. We are requesting an investigation by the European Union about this as we, the Spanish Government, find very suspicious but curious that the EPA was endorsed in these attacks, which happened in Reitzmag, and in the middle of a campaign.

STATEMENT ON EASTERN HAANE CRISIS
The Spanish Government is concerned about the happening on Eastern Haane and shows its solidarity and support to all the Haaneans involved on the conlict. There are blood baths going on, while freedom and democracy arn't being respected. We are offering the European Union our cooperation and some of our army if it's needed, as we won't let the Eastern Haaneans appart.
About sanctions, these were passed 20 days ago by the Congreso de los Diputados, and all the measures will remain as the situation has got worse and not better. A new measure is added to point 6 of the measures taken 25 days ago:
- All approaching ships with the Eastern Haanean naval ensign or coming from Eastern Haane will be asked to identify themselves and their origin. Ships that do not respond will be asked to stop immediately in the Mediterranean Sea. Same applies to flights coming from or going to Eastern Haane. Ships will be allowed to go through Spanish straits if they have important cargo onboard. If they don't, ships won't be allowed to enter Spanish Waters.
Soraya Sáenz de Sanatamaría
Acting Spanish President -
STATEMENT ON EASTERN HAANEAN REFUGEES AND REITZMIC INTERVENTION
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation would like to announce that Spain will be accepting Haanean refugees if they request political asylum or the war refugee status via letter, Internet webpage or in the Spanish Consulate or Embassy in any European Country. Eastern Haaneans wishing to apply for the status will need to show their Identity Card and fill some papers in English or Spanish. Once they have arrived into Spain, they will be given a home, 1.500€ per month and some Spanish classes to prepare them for their new life in Spain.
The Kingdom of Spain also support the Government formed by Agnes Obel and will stand along it until elections, which need to be free and democratic, take place. Not meeting one of these requirements would mean the unrecognition of the Government elected or instaurated.
The Spanish Government has also decided to support the Motion made by Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker and Councillor Tilki, as we think the planned method to solve the crisis is the right one we shall take. Sadly, the Kingdom of Reitzmag has decided to take over some places in Eastern Haane without cooperation or coordination and the Kingdom of Mennrimiak has decided to retire their Councillor because the European Union is doing nothing, when they didn't have time enough to react. We are also asking our Reitzmic friends to retire the European flag from their bases, tanks and equipment until the Council gives the go ahead signal to the Intervention. There's no European cooperation at the moment and we, European Nations, shall wait until a common answer is given.

The Ministry of Defence has bought new equipment for the Army. This is part of the "Plan Defensa para el curso 2020-2021", which started on September the 15th and will end on September the 14th 2021. This time, all the branches have received new personnel that have finished their training. The navy and the air force have also received new jets and ships to defend our coasts and our country, as also helping our allies in Nofoaga, Inimicus or the possible European Coalition in the Eastern Haane's intervention.
The Kingdom of Spain is ready to help the European Union and its allies, and this equipment will be really useful for that.

Minister of Defence -
STATEMENT - NO-FLY ZONE
The Ministry of Defence will announce, before Sunday, the Inspection ports in Spain as part of the No-Fly Zone enforcement. We ask all the European Countries to accept the regulations and not breaking the NFZ.

Mª Dolores de Cospedal
Minister of Defence -
STATEMENT ON THE REITZMIC DEPARTURE FROM EASTERN HAANE
The Spanish Government is concerned about the Kingdom of Reitzmag considering their intervention a success when they are responsible of imperalist attitudes and war crimes. No intervention is a success when you have killed innocents, you have taken imperialist ways and morever you have constantly tried to act as an independet force ignoring the European Union suggestions or trying to avoid Inimican forces escorting your planes.
The No-Fly Zone has been successfull and its enforcement is up to the 4 Assembled Powers, which are Vayinaod, Inimicus, Fremet and Spain. Trying to avoid the participation of one of these countries into the escort of any army aircraft is not an acceptable way to end with the conflict. The Haaneans are not happy, in fact, they have given an ultimatum to what we can consider as imperalist country. We also condemn the attitudes towards Inimicus, and if requested, Spain will help the Inimicans on accomplishing the new measures put in place by the Imperial Governemnt.
The Spanish European Councillor, Donald Tusk, will open a discussion about war crimes, imperialist attitudes and other actions taken in Eastern Haane, and we would like to advice those who are intending to follow Reitzmag's example: These attitudes are not ignored by the Kingdom of Spain, but given special attention.
This is not a victory, nor is a success. It's just more caos what this independent intervention has caused, and now it will be harder to act in Eastern Haane with trust or safety. Lots of innocents, from Reitzmag and Eastern Haane, have lost their lives for this absurd conflict which could have been better managed by the European Union.
Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría
Acting President of Spain -
STATEMENT - EUROPE DAY
I talk on behalf of the Government I preside when I wish every single European citizen, wether his nation might or might not be an European Union member state, a happy Europe Day. During this years as part of the European Union, The Kingdom of Spain has made new friends, sufferend some conflicts which both parties have been able to solve and established new relationships with many historical nations in Europe.
Spain is now friend of many nations we couldn't imagine we would be friends with, has been benefited from the influential sphere the European Union forms around the different nations and has been able to push forward legislation and amendments in the European Council thanks to our Councillor, Donald Tusk. Moreover, the Kingdom of Spain is also protecting other countries, such as Nofoaga, with whose we keep a really friendly relationship. Apart from that, we co-operate with the Empire of Inimicus sharing military bases in both countries in order to enhace mutual protection and to have stronger relationships.
We shall also recognise the hard work that is being made by Commissioners and the European Council, Institutions which are really necessary to make the European Union work, and I hope their work is never disturbed by the interests of nations or certain people which are not members of theirs.
Europe Day shall be a date to celebrate, and so we will do. Since it was announced that Europe Day would be celebrated for the 1st Time ever, the Government announced it would be a free day for all the Spanish, and so it will be every single year that we stay in this necessary and prosperous Union. Donald Tusk and Myself will join the European Commissioners and leaders in the Europe Day celebrations at Europolis. Happy Europe Day everybody.
