Letter of Complaint to the Speaker
-
Mr. Speaker Firoux,
I am writing to you, as an open letter to the public, concerning your comments made this morning in Europolis during my motion to establish Ruthenish Neutrality in accordance to the EU Constitution. Statements which I find disrespectful to the Ruthenish state and its people which elected our current government in Kazmurbirha.
I am particularly dissapointed in your language when calling Ruthund a 'rogue state', a term which even other Councillors supporting your point of view dismissed. As the Speaker, EU Councillors have an expectation that you lead by example-- even in matters of mannerisms and Parliamentary behavior in the Council. This incident this morning was by no means leading by example and in fact, merits condemnation from my colleagues. Ruthund has abided by many of the European Union regulations since its accession. However Ruthund holds that it's its sovereign right to choose which Nicoleizian government is considered 'sovereign'. Our legal institutions went through the proper channels and process to determine the question, and the end result was the Realm of Great Ruthund recognizes the UNSR. While you may disagree with this decision, calling Ruthund a 'rogue state' is unacceptable behavior coming from a respectable statesman, in my mind. In doing so, you have undermined our democracy at home.
I request, Mr. Speaker, you retract your statement and apologize to the People of Ruthund for these disparaging remarks made to our Nation. I hope to work with you in the future in more civil and better terms.
Sincerely,
Helhuan Zihuruthstukur
EU Councilor for the Realm of Great Ruthund
