FROM THE STATE ELDER
On Foreigners

The safety of all foreigners remaining in the country is at danger. As a result, the National College of Defense has been ordered to take them all to safehouses across the country.

FROM THE STATE ELDER
To All Foreign Governments

I, as well as the Workers' Congress and the Council of the Union, can affirm that all foreign citizens are safe. At this time, however, extradition remains impossible, as the reopening of any borders of ports of entry presents a danger not only to the Union but also the remainder of Europe.

Release, as well, is impossible. We do not wish to risk the deaths of foreign citizens at the hands of the crazed. We are, however, open to negotiating a possible return of citizens to embassies or consulates within the country.

FROM THE STATE ELDER
To All Foreign Governments

In the Union, there has been a disturbing and sudden increase in the intensity of dangerous activity. I am saddened and disturbed to report that a concerted attack upon several foreign embassies and consulates has begun, orchestrated by a unknown party.

The National College of Defense has been ordered to aid in the defense of the embassies against these assailants.

However, we can no longer allow for the movement of citizens from safehouses to embassies due to the ongoing danger.

The Union is considering a second movement of foreign nationals in the case that safehouses are compromised. Any further movement of foreign nationals shall be announced.

FROM THE STATE ELDER
Suspension of Civil Law

Besieged by unknown, possibly military-affiliated assailants, the Workers' Congress, in an emergency session, approved 958 - 42 a proclamation of the suspension of civil law for the continued integrity of the Union.

Civil law is hereby suspended. The enforcement of order is transferred to the militias.

The National College of Defense is stripped of its powers, and is placed under direct state administration.

FROM THE STATE ELDER
Reaffirming the No-Fly Zone

The Government remains in control following the suspension of civil law.

We affirm that a no-fly zone remains in effect. Several unidentified aircraft incurred into Syndical airspace in the day; they were told repeatedly, a total of fourteen times, to turn around, but made no response.

As they approached Kiel Airfield, they made a request to land. Said request was denied, but they attempted to go ahead.

They were allowed to land; however, those aboard were taken into custody, their aircraft confiscated by the People's Militia.

We repeat that we are unwilling to allow for evacuations due to the high level of danger. The antics that these aircraft engaged in resulted in a breach of security at the airport less than thirty minutes later, leading to the deaths of several members of the militia and the injury of many more.

We warn that any future attempt to breach our airspace will be met with force.

FROM THE STATE ELDER
On the Ongoing Coup

The National Salvation Government is an illegitimate government. Under no circumstances should any individual support it. All citizens of the Union, in fulfillment of their constitutional duties, are asked to resist it.

However, as a result of the increased danger to foreign citizens, they have again been moved, due to the potential that the NSG may have information on their locations.

FROM THE STATE ELDER AND THE HEAD OF STATE OF THE NATIONAL SALVATION GOVERNMENT
On the Mass Kidnapping and Murder of Reitzmic Civilians and Soldiers

We are opposed; but we were once good friends, brothers-at-arms for the Union against Areai and those terrors that came before her.

We are currently negotiating peace for the Union; neither of us may get our way without tearing it apart. But we must take this time to make the following statement.

The forces of Weaver Iahela kidnapped several Reitzmic civilians and soldiers under our protection or custody as a result of the attempted illegal repatriations, before killing them in brutal fashion. Several were taken to the Martyrs' Field and there shot down, often with rockets taken from military stores which had previously been raided.

Others were marched into the hills and shot at with artillery from a distance.

Most worryingly, parts of our military, both those under the command of the Head of State and those under the State Elder, appear to have defected to her. Several Reitzmic nationals at the Martyrs' Field appeared to be the victims of drone strikes, likely from those drones that were stolen or taken from the NCD over the past few days.

We may surmise that this is some sort of revenge; it is perverted and one of the worst crimes of the unstable Weaver Iahela. All Reitzmic civilians and soldiers who remain under our protection have been given additional security as a result of this horror.

FROM THE STATE ELDER
On the Provisions for the Maintenance of National Unity and Order

The Workers' Congress has voted unanimously to adopt the Provisions for the Maintenance of National Unity and Order, proposed by Kalju Aasmäe, who was re-admitted as a member on the 19th of February.

The Provisions dissolve the Congress without elections for an indefinite period of time. All legislative power is to be vested in the Council of the Union, to which will be added several additional members, to be appointed by the State Elder.

The economic and structural measures undertaken by the illegitimate government of Kalju Aasmäe are recognized as being necessary for both national unity and order, and are thus adopted.

All political parties and blocs are abolished; all political activity is to be organized through the People's Front for the Salvation of the Union, which shall be non-partisan in nature. No individual without ties to terroristic groups may be denied membership in the People's Front.

The National College of Defense shall have full authority to expel those linked to the terrorism speared by Weaver-Iahela and possibly Josephine Areai and their affiliates.

The freedoms set out in the Constitution remain in place.

The Provisions may be repealed by unanimous act of the Council of the Union.

Long live the Union, long live the Republic, long live liberty!

FROM THE STATE ELDER
On Repatriations

The death of Weaver-Iahela, as well as the authorization of military forces to use all necessary force as to expel terrorists from the inhabited territory of the Union, have severely and near-critically destabilized terrorist elements. Safe routes between Kiel Airfield and the locations in which we are safeguarding foreign nations have been, after lengthy and deadly battle, been established.

It is thus safe to begin repatriations of all foreign citizens.

FROM THE COUNCIL OF THE UNION

By vote of the Council, the suspension of civil law is ended. Regular administration will begin again.

The prohibition on publications and public assemblies are lifted; however, both remain regulated by the law.

Communications are restored; entry and exit are no longer prohibited; however, a visa is needed in both cases. The no-fly zone is lifted.

We can confirm that the organized territories of the Union are safe.

FROM THE STATE ELDER

Councillor Kelarōn Juvinal has acted against the public interest, bringing about instability and the return of the darkness of Areai. I thus order her recall; she is relieved of all duties.

The reliable Annelise Bauer will be appointed in her stead, pending by-elections to be held on the 12th of June.

Meanwhile, the Council of the Union has voted to dissolve the High Court, as it is acting in contravention of the Provisions. Its powers are temporarily vested in the Council until such time as the Provisions may be removed.

The public may also be interested to know that the traitors Kjusil Kulis, Iuliha Teimasenvou, Andries van Beek, and Helga Becker have been detained, having been found plotting the assassination of several public figures, as well as mass terrorism that surely would have killed thousands. Found to be connected to the old Party of Areai, they wished to bring the Empire and the times of the black darkness back.

FROM THE COUNCIL OF THE UNION

As a result of civil unrest, civil law and the constitution are suspended. The military has full power to maintain order as it sees fit.

A lockdown is imposed; none are to be allowed out of their homes.

All power is vested in the person of the State Elder; the syndicates will no longer be autonomous but under his direct control.

All publications are banned; all communications are to be halted.

Long live liberty!

FROM THE STATE ELDER

It is my responsibility to inform you, citizens of the Union, that a number of traitors have perished today.

The members of the High Court fired upon the people; they had no choice but to attack them, to burn the Court down as those traitors screamed from inside in regret of their betrayal.

The traitorous Juvinal, resisting her recall, stabbed herself to death during a meeting of the European Council.

The traitors Kjusil Kulis, Iuliha Teimasenvou, Andries van Beek, and Helga Becker attempted to escape their confinement, before distributing seditious pamphlets to Areai supporters for a rally that would overthrow the Union and re-establish the darkness.

As they ran from our forces, they were shot down for their treason; all those who received their pamphlets have been arrested.

Liberty prevails!

In the interests of the people, all is to be privatized. The Euro is to be introduced as the nation's currency.

Interested parties may contact the office of the newly set up Ministry for the People's Wealth.
