BREAKING NEWS: GOVERNMENT THREATENS TO PULL OUT OF BUCKINGHAM TREATY IF A COPALA CITY INDEPENDENCE HAPPENS

Hampton City, Feb 9 2021 | The European Commission Elections are underway, however, the government is alarmed at the candidates' stances on Copalan Independence and has threatened to pull out of the treaty that leased the area for refugee settlement and urban development. This morning, a press conference was held at 10 Downing Street about this matter, the CBC News Team had managed to get the attention of the Foreign Minister for an interview after the press conference.

"It is our sovereignty that the European Union is breaching by trying to manipulate our policies and influence the foreign relations of our country. I'd like to remind these candidates that they have no authority to force the country to do something it doesn't want. Copala City and New Saint Regina were only leased to give a somehow devolved administration for the Nicolezian Government to work on while in exile." said the Foreign Minister.

On the question if Krexit is deemed a solution to this problem, here is the Foreign Minister's response:
"Krexit is the biggest problem that the government is facing today, and this issue is just one of those issues that keep fueling the anti-EU movements across the country. That is why I'm calling to the people behind the European Union to be with us in this campaign against Krexit. Stop your authoritarian attitudes that makes the situation worse. We in the government need your help if you want us to remain in the Union. However, it shows that the possibilities of Krexit have risen dramatically due to your recent stances that made the people feel oppressed. And I want to warn you that in case nothing happens, we have no choice but to give up and to say Krexit will be the only choice we have."

The European Council Elections are still to come but experts say that the deteriorating approval rating of the European Union among the people would highly influence the outcome of the elections.

With that, I assure that the people will remain safe in the country despite the recent events. Thank you and Have a Good Day!"
