Internal Affairs Debate Aug/Sep 2020

Our fact checkers have concluded the claims of Winston WOULD be illegal. It's illegal because he's not allowed to be a representative of his own government. He’s basically not only saying that his country will already do these things for the EU, but he's promising them as if he's literally the entire country of Reitzmag. But he's also using it as reasons that we should elect him, which also basically insinuates he will enrich Reitzmag.
Therefore, it would be illegal, and also definitely immoral. Winston can have 1 minute to respond to these facts.

To myself at least, I don't know how certain legal scholars may agree with this assessment, the right to love is universal through the UDoHR's right to freedom of conscience. Marriage while a commonly accepted form of government contract, since I don't think you can or should force religions to apply marriages they don't believe in, is just a form of government contract. Nations have the right to organize contracts how they see fit.
The application of any specific benefits to that contract should apply equally to everyone, so there must be an alternative. Regardless however, what this means is that at the end of the day its a local or national issue, not a European one.
Provided people under the LGBT or potential extended umbrellas are given an alternative, and not facing more heinous forms of discrimination forbidden in the UHoDR the EU should stay out of the conversation and let local cultures figure it out themselves.
The EU is a compact between member-states seeking common goals, any protections afforded by law should apply to those only within the confines of the EU. I believe if some sort of human rights violations against some unknown group outside legal protections of the EU were to occur, ethical pressure upon the guilty state would be more than enough to stop it.
I fully trust our members to not commit human rights violations, just because the EU's UDoHR should only apply to the UDoHR. It applies only for our region, and should only apply to protect out citizens.

Despite not having all the answers, we are running out of time so I am going to ask all of the candidates for their 3 minute closing statements.

First of all, I would like to thank Darriene for hosting the debate really good. Thank you for all your effort on organizing this debate.
Europeans, today you’ve been able to see who will lead Europe through the right path and who will sink us. While we have a candidate that has lied to you in this debate, I have always said the truth and I’ve put an effort to answer all the questions and every time it was needed. He didn’t, and now he is here, silent, with nothing to say. That’s not the Europe we need.
Then we have Mr. Oliver, who’s Dragan Trympov running mate and collaborated to murder a girl. He is trying to protect countries as the UNSR by saying that UDoHR shall only apply to EU citizens, he is willing to make immigration harder, because his running mate hates them and he wants to leaveyour nations aside if you are poor. This isn't the Europe that we want.
And the other candidate is Ms. Webber, which needed my mediation to control her own country. How will she manage the European Union if she couldn’t manage her own country? But moreover, I’m sure she would support the USNR as many other PEL members, which by the way, has UNSR members on it. But she is running as independent so we can vote her by indirectly voting the PEL. Intelligent move, but the Europeans aren’t silly. This isn't also the Europe that we need.
What does Europe need? It needs to be open-minded, equal, solidary, united, empathic and needs to get a good leader to take us through the right path. A new European Deal, equal Union where no one is left behind, protecting the future generations, creating new programmes to push forward tourism, protecting and regulating the European Waters by the creation of the EOWA, giving freedom to schools instead of making a unified standard curriculum, having a transparent Commission which does not give preference to certain countries and does not make illegal things.
Europe, we can make great things together, we just need to choose the right person to represent us, because despite being a candidate, I’m European too. These elections we need to leave populists like Trympov and Oliver aside, Communists that have done nothing for Europe aside and smoke sellers like Winston aside. The European Progressive Alliance is the only party to have proven it does great things in Europe. And together, we are making a better Europe. Working for the EU, for all the European countries, for democracy every day of my second term if I’m re-elected.
We are going to make this possible, together, with your votes. Good night.
