      EUROPEAN COMMISSION ELECTIONS

      NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES

      It is time to elect the next European Commission. In these elections, all offices of the European Commission are up for election. The offices of Premier Commissioner and Internal Affairs are subject to a four-month term, while the office of the Foreign Affairs is subject to an eight-month term.

      Due to term limits, Premier Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker (Spain) is term-limited.

      As is traditional, I shall quote the words of our Returning Officer back in January 2011, who opened these nominations thus:

      "These elections are supposed to give our member-states fair representation in this region - if candidates cannot take it upon themselves to be active, then I in particular, question their ability and willingness to take part in a body who must be active, accountable and able. I do not wish to threaten nor scare, but I want, for once, our European Commission to consist of Commissioners who are active and who play a part in the region both on and off this forum."

      Interested candidates should fill out all information below:

        Candidate Name: Wirt Harland
        Home Nation: The State of Elthize
        Office(s) sought: Internal Affairs Commissioner
        Incumbent? (Y/N): Yes
        Eurogroup Affiliation: None
        Biography: A politician of the Labour Party's moderate wing, Harland was an assembly member from April 2008 until June 2009, when he became a senator until his retirement in April 2022, winning in 2008, 2010, 2014 and 2018 elections. During his time as a Senator, he became the main figure pushing for the impeachment of the former president, Archibald Franklin. He was one of the biggest advocates for Elthize's ascension to the European Union. He was the presidential candidate of the opposition in 2018 and was defeated by the incumbent Greenwich Grimwald by a minuscule margin. Some Elthics still consider him to be a possible successor to the presidency after Grimwald.

        Harland assumed office as the Internal Affairs Commissioner on January 15, 2023, and is seeking a second term as the Internal Affairs Commissioner. On his first term, Harland submitted a constitutional amendment that would put unopposed candidates in commission elections in a referendum to see whether the member states approved of the candidate. He also successfully managed to strike out a deal between the United Duchies, Reitzmag and Svarna Surya after conflict arose between the three nations. Harland also opposed Guthrun Wond's rebellion against the member state of Gadalland and Aspern and initiated the Fourth European Leaders Summit on May 2023 alongside Premier Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker.

          Candidate Name:Ricarda Schmitz
          Home Nation:United Duchies
          Office(s) sought:Premier Comissioner
          Incumbent? (Y/N):N
          Eurogroup Affiliation:None
          Biography:A politician fed up of the status quo she believes the European Union is a force for good if it can just be administrated effectively and unleash its power in partnership with its members. She is critical of the activitity of the comissioners who she sees as having been inactive and achieving nothing especially over EDA funding of which none has been approved or gone through and critical with the openness of the comission which has not communicated reasons for its votes on applications making it impossible for any issues that are potentially in applications to be resolved or to assess whether applications were judged fairly. She wants to get the EDA moving its funds.

                Candidate Name: Tomáš "Tomo" Krejčí
                Home Nation: Inquista
                Office(s) sought: Foreign Affairs Commissioner
                Incumbent? (Y/N): N
                Eurogroup Affiliation: EF
                Biography: Krejčí was born in the small Czechslavonic town of Rudolfov in 1980. Upon completing his high school education, Krejčí went on to work as a manual labourer at the nearby Lišov Mine. After two years of manual labour, Krejčí was trained to become a mining machine operator. After another two years, in 2002, Krejčí's prowess and efficiency with the mine's machinery led him to be promoted to lead machine operator on the site, which is a position Krejčí has dutifully and loyally held ever since.

                More than two decades of operating heavy machinery has taken its toll on Krejčí's body and he is now looking to spend his time serving the European people. Krejčí cites having an "affair" with a "foreign" woman as making him a competent FA Commissioner, and he touts his long-distance relationship with Archbishop Mikaela Kligenberg as providing him with international relations experience. Despite being a Czech citizen residing in Czech Slavia, Krejčí has been granted citizenship and sponsorship from Inquista to run as a candidate.
