2nd European Leaders Summit
-
"Yes, Juncker, we have received the money. Right now, we have not officially released the planned power plants of greener energies. But They will be released in the near future. We are so far looking at constructing two wind turbine plants and a solar plant. The locations and the power that they will generate to the press. The even better news is that once a National Congress is elected, a budget is made for next year where we will be placing a stronger focus on energy. The reason for the delay in announcing it as my government had been placing a lot of focus on the situation that was occurring in Eastern Haane." The President answered.
-
"It's doing well!.. Business as usual!" Elçi responded to Aguilar before going into the summit and greeted by Jean-Claude Juncker, who claimed interest in Alkharyan happenings, which Elçi couldn't tell if it was genuine. He guided her into her seat in the room where the summit would be held. The room was filled with tacky Christmas decorations, which she knew it was too early for. She checked the time on her phone and then checked what leaders came after her: Sauli Niinisto, Kenith Lifejumper, Artabanos and Mikaela Kligenberg. And then... Simon Bridges of Reitzmag. She knew it was going to be juicy the moment he opened his mouth to talk in the summit. She checked her phone again out of boredom to see people of Europolis tweeting about how Reitzmag came in with a set of high-tech planes to land here. "What a show-off. That would never fly in Alkharya." She thought to herself. After all, modesty was the key to win Alkharyans hearts, not palaces and expensive vehicles... Or was it?
-
Simon kept his mouth shut to avoid saying anything unexpected. He hated Juncker but he didn't want to humiliate him, yet. He nodded at Juncker and went to his seat. He saw Mikaela and his other Head of Government or State friends. As he seated he kept himself busy with the documents he brought. He kept on checking his phone for recent emails and continued his usual Prime Ministerial work. More calls answered and more documents signing, he got tired. After finishing all the remaining work, he decided to play his favorite mobile game. For a few moments, he finished 5 Sudoku puzzles and 3 chess matches with a level 10 AI Opponent. He may seem enjoying but he still never forgets his anger.
-
Mikaela noticed that Prime Minister Bridges was spending a lot of his time on his phone, so she knew she could count on him to join her Among Us lobby while they waited for the others to arrive. The Archbishop opened up WhatsApp and texted the Reitzmic Prime Minister. The code is FEYWZF, join quickly, it's public!
Naturally, Mikaela was playing as the pink crewmate. It didn't take long before players started throwing around 'pink is sus' comments, even though Mikaela was diligently doing her tasks. After narrowly surviving being voted out, Mikaela naively wondered into electrical, where she was swiftly killed. "Awww," Mikaela commented out loud in disappointment.
-
John Peter Key now Prime Minister after his parties recent formation of a coalition arrived in Europolis. He'd used the government jet to get there with his new foreign minister arriving just 15 minutes later. By 10:15 both had arrived at the venue. Thy would spend the summit promoting renewables and discussing key details of Eurorail with other leaders. He also wanted to discuss closer co-operation on standards to protect consumers and standardise product standards on the continent.He looked forward to discussing the agenda.He immediately went over to Juncker and greeted him saying "How are things today? I know you met with my predecessor but we also very much look forward to working with you as our partners especially on Eurorail project." -
By that time Sauli was just bored he hated to wait and the other heads were not helping him, Bidges was just being annoying as always and Lifejumper was too far from him to talk but then he noticed the Inquistan Archibishop was playing some type of game so he took his phone and asked her if he could join.
The Archbishop agreed and sent Sauli the code to the game after some time he found the body of the archibishop on electrical and reported it but then the others ejected him believing that it was self report Sauli just did a noise of disapointment.
-
Juncker welcomed the United Duchies Prime Minister and explained the Foreign Affairs Minister that it was only for European Leaders, not Minister. He recommended the Minister the European Café, where they served great chocolate cakes. He entered the room and shew Prime Minister Key his seat. He closed the door then and proceeded to his seat. He took the little bell to advice everyone that the summit was starting.
The Commissioner then stood up and spoke:
"Presidents, Prime Ministers, Archbishop. It is a great honour for me to be here with you once again. Sadly, we are not as much leaders as the last time, but I can understand that. I know that many of them are really busy while others couldn't attend because of family affairs maybe. I would like to welcome Lula Namatatiki and Sauli Niinisto to this meeting as last time they didn't attend. I'm very happy to see you both here and I hope that you can offer a wide range of suggestions and ideas to us, which we are impatient to hear.
Before starting, I would like to tell you that back on July, I didn't imagine me to be doing this again. But the time and the votes of many Europeans have made me be here today and I'm really pleased of that. At the end, and I think this is something we have in common, everybody on this room was else voted by citizens or elected by their Parliament as part of a major agreement, and I think the European Union shall be proud of what we are doing every day. We are a huge, democratic union formed by great nations all around our special landscapes, with great people which like us or doesn't, but that's one of our values, Freedom of Speech.
With that said, I'm proposing some topics to talk about on this meeting: Country Affairs, European Projects, Climate Change and Waters, Security, European Union's status and any question you could have before we do our closing statements. Any proposal that you would like to do on the agenda would go before the closing statement and after the European Union's status. I hope everything is clear and I declare this meeting officially open.
Jean-Claude Juncker drank a bit of water and then resumed his speech:
Now, the first point is Country Affairs. As the Internal Affairs Commissioner, I am always looking at the happenings of every country, and that means I need to take note of actions to then give an answer, if needed, to some requests. That's why I will be asking you some questions and adding some comments about your nations. This is not a way to mess up with you or your citizens, but a way to solve doubts that the Internal Affairs Commission and myself have towards some debates and happenings all around the region, and I hope you all consider it on the same way: First of all, I would like to ask the Spanish President about the election results, possible agreements with other parties and about the conflict that Spain has with Mennrimiak.
On Nofoaga, I would like to ask Ms. Namatatiki about the upcoming elections and also to explain myself and all of us here about what happened with Nikola N'nago exactly and if there is information about it. On Alkharya I just have one question and that's about the Social Media bill that was proposed a time ago and Ms. Elçi struck down, so if you can tell us about it and explain us why was it proposed apart from the obvious security concerns that would be great. On Mennrimiak I want to know what happened with Spain because that's the only diplomatic conflict right now and about the Commission Mobile App, to see if it could be legal again on Mennrimiak.
Then, before asking Inimicus I would like to welcome Mr. Artabanos to this meeting and I think I talk on behalf of the whole European Commission when I say that it's great to see you fully recovered. I would like to ask you about the Caspian problem with Reitzmag which I've seen on the news and also the No-Fly Zone on Eastern Haane, if that's ok. About Leagio, I know President Lifejumper has received the money and I would like to ask you about the Refugees from Eastern Haane, which is something I commend you, your cabinet and your country for doing. About Inquista, I would like to ask you about the last Atlantis discovery and also about the Sahrawi Union exit from the European Union. On Reitzmag I would like to ask on the Sand Dredging operations on the Caspian, the newly formed Krexit movement and the de-escalation of the mostly-known conflict with Spain that we 3 agreed here in Europolis. Finally, on the United Duchies, I would like to ask about the new elections and congratulate Prime Minister Key after his victory.
Of course, if I forgot anything and you would like to tell me about any happening or anything that I can help you with or something that you would like to mention here you are free to do so. Thank you very much."
OCC: You have until November 11th - 14 GMT to answer.

Simon remained at his seat and played Among Us with Mikaela. Then, as the commissioner closed the door and rang a bell, he quitted the game and focused. Juncker had asked questions as if he's gonna solve it but he really doesn't. He remained calm and quiet and waited for anyone else to start speaking before he gives his statement. He took some sips on his milktea as he waits for anyone to start.
-
Jesús Aguilar joined the game because why not and played while Juncker came to the room. Once the Commissioner rang the bell, he exited the game and prepared for everything. Juncker was a really good friend, and also the current Commission was his favourite too: There is no better trio than Merkel, Juncker and Reynels on Commission, the 3 current European Progressive Alliance's warriors. After Juncker finished his speech, the Spanish President stood up and was the first to speak:
"Good afternoon everyone and thank you Jean-Claude for your questions. First of all, before I start talking, I would like to congratulate you for being able to do this meeting not once, but twice and having a pretty good assistance, as I share the opening statement made by you, which describes very well what is the European Union to you and I think that also for many os us.
Secondly, concerning your questions: About the first and second ones, the election results have proven Spain will be unable to get a party with absolute majority with this new system, but fortunately agreements could take place. In this case, my party, which have won the election, will be able to sign an agreement with Ciudadanos and we would get majority. Also, we are getting the support from Foro Asturias, Navarra Suma and Coalición Canaria at the moment, which is more than we expected, so a Government will be able to be formed soon. And about your 3rd question, the Spanish Government thinks it was caused because of the conflict, which had been solved thanks to your mediation and the efforts of both Simon and myself; with Reitzmag. There was a summit but it didn't come up with results, and we hope that we can solve that diplomatic problem as soon as possible.
I wanted to add something which is related with Tourism at Ibiza, and we are detecting a rise on the number of tourists that do balconing on Ibiza's hotels. At the moment, the Baleric Island government has started a campaign with the hotels to raise awareness of the risks balconing has to your life, and if it's possible, we would like else the European Union, from its announced in campaign Touristic Programme; as nations help us to prevent more deaths because of balconing. Thank you very much"
-
After Aguilar took his seat, President Lula Namatatiki stood up and spoke.
Mr. Juncker, dear colleagues. It is an honor for me to participate here as President of the Republic of Nofoaga. I would therefore like to thank you, Mr Juncker, for your warm welcome.
The questions you ask about Nofoaga are valid questions. The upcoming presidential election in Nofoaga will be the first direct election. The bottom line is that it will no longer be the members of the National Assembly in Port-Beaharnais who will determine who will be head of government and president, but the Nofoaganese themselves. The election commission has worked out a system for this in which the country is divided into 5 electoral districts. Tuagavale, Port-Beaharnais, North Barama, South Barama and the areas of the Tiki tribes-North Nofoaga. The candidate who gets a majority of constituencies behind him wins the elections and can thus become head of state and government. Parliament remains unchanged. There are two candidates for these elections on November 19. Mr. Alphonse Chastaygne and myself.
As for your second question, about Nikola N'nago ... The investigation into the events is ongoing and I think it is inappropriate to comment on this. In any case, a man's death is always regrettable. It was clear that Nikola N'nago, former president or not, had violated national law and that an arrest for the sole purpose of interrogation and investigation of the facts has taken place.
Thank you.
-
After the Nofoagan leader finished John Peter Key spoke to the group. He said " Thank you my new colleagues. I have met many of you before as deputy pm. On our election it will result in a more centrist direction though many of our foreign policy objectives remain similar. We have 119 of the seats but with the backing of UoD and DCA as well as the liberals and Alliance of Royalists we will be able to form a government. There will be more restrictions on immigration but that will be focused on outside the EU not within. Furthermore post election we have heard from election officials and from colleagues in parliament the Communist and Workers party are merging and also that UoD are deep in talks with DCA to merge. This will reduce the amount of parties in our next election though this was entirely expected.
I'd like to thank all nations for their congratulations and also support on the Eurorail project a project we are deeply comitted to. We stand ready to help advise on the route through United Duchies with detailed proposals. We do have some questions on customs and border arrangements but that will be discussed at the appropiate time. The election overall has changed mainly our immigration policy and law and order policy but you can expect our social and economic policies to remain broadly the same. "

President Elçi stood up and spoke:
First off, I would like to congratulate Mr Juncker on getting re-elected. I wish him a great term and hope that he uses this opportunity to work for the European people. I would also like to congratulate Prime Minister Key of United Duchies for winning the elections. I am very proud to be here, speaking for my homeland. As someone who has been a big advocate for Union membership for Alkharya throughout my political career, it is absolutely amazing to see that Alkharya is a member state. This feels like the peak of my political career. After serving many years on provincial and regional parliaments, and finally Kurultay before my presidency, I am finally serving Alkharyans the way I think they deserve.
For me, the European Union was, and still is, kind of, a bastion of unity, the key to many doors that lead to opportunities for member states, and the citizens of the member states. We may have political differences, ideological differences or any other difference, but the Union is where we come together and celebrate, although I don't see much celebrations as I used to back when I followed Europolis, which, I still do. 2020 was quite the year when it comes to politics and it definitely saw the rise of many incidents: The Elected and Accountable Council Act of 2020, as well as the failed, but still close repeal of it by dear Councillor Gökçen nine months later, The fall of Eastern Haane, The coup in Malborya by Augusta Cato and followed Malbexit and many other things. I see better days on the horizon, although it will take time. I am going to wish the best for all member states and leave it at that.
Elçi then drank a sip of water and continued to speak:
Now, onto the question that Juncker has asked me: Why have I struck down the social media bill? Well, as Erin Karagül from the Alkharyan newspaper, Dörtköşe writes here, I have rejected the bill because it is not beneficial at all. For those unaware, the social media bill in question would ban people under 18 to use social media platforms. This is a bad thing, and there are a number of reasons. One, many animators, producers, creators get recognition first from social media. Forums, blogs, video sites are all great ways for young and upcoming prodigies, many of which are under the age of 18, to express and release their art to the public. Banning social media for these kids hurts their improvement and cripples their independence as an adult in the future. That, for me, is the worst thing you can do you to your child. The second reason is that I feel like this is an attack for the freedom of speech of our kids. The safety of the kids should be the responsibility of us, the parents. I won't go and demand laws from the government that evades privacy, breaks the anonymity and threatens the freedom of speech in Alkharya just because I want to protect my kids. Why? Because I'm a responsible parent who already checks up on what her kids do regardless. I find it ridiculous that people like Derya Okan Çevik submit bills like this, which clearly speaks about their parental skills. I feel sad for his kids. Thankfully, it did not pass Kurultay, which I'm thankful of.
Lastly, What the future holds for Alkharya is hopefully strengthened relations with our neighbours. I am definitely considering to do a summit with close neighbours of Alkharya like Fremet or Ruthund to open new horizons in trade and travel. I would like to see them here, but unfortunately, they are not here, so, maybe next time.

After the Duchie Leader finished speaking, President Lifejumper stood up to speak next.
"First, Thank you for the commendation, Commissioner Juncker. Focusing on the money, my government has received it and have not used it as we are making final checks on the new solar and turbine power plant sites that will be installed by the end of this month. Originally, we were going to do this sooner and start the construction this month but the situation in Eastern Haane had to become a primary focus for the cabinet. The locations of these new sites will be released to the press sometime next week, where we will announce that the government of Leagio will be willing to allow the European Commission to appoint a person to oversee the construction and ensure that the money was used as stated. Although, this is only optional to the Commission. Furthermore, through the remainder of my term, I will be looking to implement an agenda to help resolve the energy crisis that the Commonwealth is facing."
"Moving on to the East Haanean Refugee's, the transportation of the refugee's has been moving swiftly. From the start of the Commonwealth allowing them to enter, we have received (according to my Ministry of the Interior's statics data released today) around 254,000 Refugees that are taken to the newly created Territory of Freedonia. The refugees are given what was called emergency citizenship, which gives them the same rights that all other Leagioans and immigrants receive. The only thing is that they can only exercise it within the Territory. This was something that I could not change as I was only able to even accept the refugee's through a fivety year act that establishes that limitation. The good news that I can be happy to give is that the people in the territory will have representation within the National Congress, last I checked, they will have 4 Senators and 9 Councilors of the 525 permeant members Houser of Councilors within the Congress. The election for that will take place this December 20th, which is the date for all the new seats in both houses of Congress. In addition, on the emergency citizenship, there is a program (a fast-track type) that will allow the refugees to become full citizens of the Commonwealth within a three-month period. "
"The new Governor of Freedonia (Kelly Idiotus) and I are working to implement programs that will ensure that the refugees are able to build a good life for themselves. In addition, the Governor is working with the refugee's in order to form a territorial government constitution that will truly represent their needs. Although, the Consitution will need to be reviewed by the Supreme Court but I imagine no problems with that."
"In addition, when the new National Congress is elected in December and meets in the 30th of the same month, the first thing that will be discussed is the new budget for the government of the 2021 fiscal year. In this budget, I will be working to see if additional month can be used on the energy sector of the Commonwealth."
-
Mr Juncker it is also a pleasure to be here for the first time since the unfortunate dimission of our ex Prime Minister Frederick Johanson, but concerning what you asked to me the rise of tensions with Spain is simply a side effect of the situation with Reitzmag and that i was very stressed that day but now, if the Spanish President wants we could reach better terms between our countries, and about the app im worried that i wont be able to respond you, all this matter is in hands of the Mannraemiak Parlament and is not their highest priority for now.
-
"Ooh, yes," the Archbishop eventually replied. "The discovery of Atlantis was quite something! I never thought it existed, T-B-H! Inquistan and Spanish scientists and historians are now busy piecing everything together, and they're trying hard to make sense of the discovery. I've seen some of the artifacts that have surfaced, and they're quite cool. Hopefully we'll have some Atlantian artifacts in our museums soon, and some answers about the mysterious civilization.
I'm super proud that Inquista and the Sahrawi Union have come to an agreement! Inquista agreed to release the Sahrawi Union as a protectorate, and we agreed to grant them complete sovereignty in their own affairs. Inquista has also agreed to withdraw all our troops from the country. Our troops should all be home for Christmas."
-
"Sir, the meeting is about to start!" said an aide, rushing towards Zgeirtan.
Zgeirtan only arrived in Europolis a few hours ago, and gotten little sleep. The European Leaders Summit was the last thing on his mind, as he knew that he would soon be in hot water at home.
"It is? Well, fuck." said Zgeirtan
His aides rushed him to the summit, and as usual, Zgeirtan made a nearly untimely.
"So yeah, sorry buds. I had some... stuff to sort of with my country. Ruthund believe it or not is pretty eventful nowadays. Otherwise I would have been sooo early, you wouldn't even believe it." A half-truth, indeed.
-
Simon stood up and thought it's time for him to deliver his speech.
"My dear fellow Heads of States and Heads of Governments, good day to all of you. It is a pleasure to be here and address the interests and concerns of our nation as well as information that may be helpful on our decisions as leaders."
"Now, for the first point I'd like to share what is with the sand dredging operations in the Caspian. These operations were authorized and overseen by the government and are led by private companies. The operations have begun since last month and I am happy to say that 3 Islands have been constructed already and development work will begin ASAP. However, I may not give other details on the project and the reasons for its conduct but I assure that it is for the very good sake of everyone. So I request that you all please advice those who have ships registered under your countries to avoid the area to prevent delay in their travel as they will be redirected to a different path by the Royal Navy if they had come to the restricted area." said Simon then takes a sip on his drink.
"Moving on, the biggest problem I am facing now is the newly formed Krexit Movements. As of now, there are already more than a hundred thousand members of the Krexit Party who have pledged to join forces with the Conservatives and the NUP on a Krexit Bloc. This massive increase in members and supporters have saddened me. Although, the Labour Party has decided to join forces with the Lib Dems, Greens, and a few minorities, communities, organizations, and institutions to form the Integration Alliance which aims to counter the pro-Krexit movements right now. Now, what I think is the main reason for these protests are bad decisions. I think that it isn't the fault of the people by the fault of us leaders who formed the EU or those in position in the European Institutions. In a recent survey, statistics show that 99 of every 100 Reitzmen are against the rule of the EPA and agrees that the eurogroup has become more authoritarian rather than progressive or liberal. And I'm sorry for this data but I am not a member of a eurogroup so please do not think I am in support of any or against of any of the existing eurogroups. Now, another thing I think that affected this dramatic increase in strength of the Krexit Movement is the ECoJ decision in the last Reitzmag vs Spain case. What happened might have fueled the people's support for Krexit. This brings me to the final point. The relations between Spain and Reitzmag had continually calmed down. However, the ECoJ decision may have angered many of my colleagues in the House of Representatives and had caused them to propose implication of sanctions and a Krexit Law. However, I still have not expressed my stand on this except that I do not support Krexit." said Simon then gets another sip on his drink.
"Well umm, that's all what I can say for now. Thank you!"
-
After steeling his nerve Zgeirtan started to speak his peace about his thoughts:
Well yeah, congrats Juncker. Good for you, bud on getting re-elected!
So yeah, as many of you know Ruthund is like, petty fucking new to the European Union. The reception of our entrance is mixed in Ruthund. Some say that I have betrayed my country's traditions (which is pretty fucking stupid), and others say I have not gone far enough to integrate Ruthund into the European community. Ruthund currently walks a fine line between the Left and the Right, which are both pretty stupid sometimes. Though I am not very receptive to the (batshit) arguments put forth by Conservatives elements, mainly the Kangiflank, that Ruthund remian isolated, I reaffirm that Ruthund is here to stay neutral. That is off the table.
The European Council, wrongfully in my opinion, denied Ruthund its right to Neutrality. Never, since the European Union was formed, have we violated any of the duties laid out in European Constitution. But some members have assumed it their duty to punish Ruthund for exercising what is quite clearly our Sovreign Rights. But I digress, for this isn't what this meeting is for. But Ruthenish law does not end with what the European Council says. We are a nation with long tradition of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries and I am proud that my government has supported me in continuing that endeavor and to promote peace in Northern Europe and elsewhere in the world. Ruthund, under my watch, will remain Neutral. With that said, I am personally pretty (fucking) concerned that some nations in Europe do not seem to share Ruthund's goal to maintain a world where our child know not war. I hope by the end of this meeting I can be reassured that Europe stands united in this goal. Because right now, I have some pretty serious fucking doubts.
Ruthund is currently electing a new EU Councillor due the resignation of our previous councilor, Helhuan Ziharuthstukur. It seems that it Zatoni Odhinazen (oh, boy) is the current favorite, but elections will not be held until Friday of this week. Tomorrow in fact, there will be a debate between all the EU Councillor candidates, I'll be doing live commentary on it on my Stream by the way. The Feinkusomnring is currently debating on establishing a national Universal Healthcare system in the country, and has gained some serious traction. Currently, 3 Regions have a Universal Healthcare system implemented, but no national plan is in place. Ruthund is industrializing so fast (like, holy shit it is ridiculous) and the consensus now is a compressive modern healthcare plan is needed.

Erna was actually a touch excited to attend this summit as Fremet's newest Statsminister. As she looked out of the airplane window on approach to Europolis, she felt the familiar sense of apprehension and excitement that she had often felt in her time as Fremet's Foreign Minister. She got up to put her colour-coded binders in the bookshelf by her desk. (The Staatsrat was in recess for Winterfel, and she was taking this opportunity to gather her legislative agenda for the new year.)
Though the Visestatsminister usually attended events such as these, Erna felt it best that she make an appearance and show the flag a bit in Europolis. At the very least she can work on her agriculture reform package while the more vocal leaders of Europe duke it out. She was finishing up packing her briefcase as the pilot came in over the PA system and asked that everyone return to their seats and fasten their seatbelts. She closed it, a pad for note-taking and a binder filled with wheat production figures safe inside, and secured the fastener before taking her seat. The Meili (the name of the Statsminister's plane) dipped below the clouds to reveal the seat of power of the European Union, its sprawling offices and regional buildings making quite a site.
Erna made her way into the chamber where Europe's leaders had gathered, with coffee (drip, black, no sugar) in hand and briefcase in tow. She took her seat and listened in as the other leaders spoke. At a lull in the conversation, she decided to speak up and make herself known.
Hello everyone, it is an honour for me to be here as the newly-elected Statsminister of the Kingdom of Fremet. Mr Juncker, thank you once again for hosting this assembly and congratulations on your re-election to the European Commission.
I am pleased to hear about the many positive developments taking place all across Europe and to see so many of you here in this chamber meeting to discuss matters important to all of us. This year is Fremet's 5th anniversary of membership in the European Union, and we are immensely proud to have participated in this great project. We have seen great change over the course of our membership, and we are excited to see what the future has in store for all of us. This year, Fremet has embarked on a series of considerable reforms, and I am truly excited for what the future holds for our kingdom as I and my colleagues in the Fremetian government continue in our efforts to better the lives of every Fremetian.
Erna took a sip from her coffee thermos and cleared her throat
On to more pertinent matters,
I echo the sentiments of our colleague from Ruthund. The failed neutrality motion was extremely disappointing, and I applaud the continued resolve of the Ruthenish government to stay true to their principles of non-interventionism. I must say I find the failure of the act to pass highly concerning in the Speaker's hawkish interpretation of European law. Nevertheless, all that can be said has been said by both sides and I hope that some day Ruthund may be able to achieve this goal of recognised neutrality.
On Eastern Haane, the Fremetian Ministry of Defence and the AA are both in the process of possibly reducing our obligations in the region to a support role based out of the Harriet Copala Joint Naval Air Base in Inquista. With the withdraw of Reitzmic forces, such a large deployment of aircraft and materiel are no longer necessary to secure the airspace. The National Security Commission, in conjunction with the Staatsrat's Defence and Foreign Affairs Committees are working on a firm plan for future operations in Eastern Haane. My office expects to release the report no later than 20 November.
Regarding our ongoing operations with the UNSR, I am pleased to report reduced military activity in the Emerald Sea in addition to stagnated deployments to coastal regions within Icholasen. We are seeing what could possibly a normalisation of operations within the UNSR as the communist government continues to strengthen their claim to the island. Though I find this encouraging for the lasting peace between our governments, I must say I am growing increasingly skeptical that the legitimate and EU recognised government of Icholasen will regain control of their home territory in a reasonable timeframe.
While I do not have really anything to add in the form of a question to the Commissioner, I will take any questions that any of you may have regarding Fremet or really anything that I have mentioned thus far. Once again, thank you Commissioner Juncker for hosting this event and providing a forum for open discussion and debate.

Sand dedging in the Caspian, Ruthund being "fucking new" to the EU, the Inquistan Arbishop's immensely stylish coat, Krexit Movements, this meeting had already been a classic display of European diplomacy to Emperor Artabanos. He was particularly enjoying the 'if looks could kill' gazes from the Reitzmic PM to Commissioner Juncker, this was definitely a new sort of entertainment at these events.
During Juncker's initial speech, Artabanos opened up the Leaders Summit Venting Chat on His phone, and texted to its members, who included the Fremetian and Inquistan leaders present, "10 Euros it'll take less than an hour for at least one physical threat". Within two seconds He received two "deals", and decided it was time for Him to speak.
"Thank you, Commissioner, for organising this summit and for your good wishes about my recovery. The cause of my temporary demise is, indeed, the first point I intend to raise. The EU has been vocal on the issue of Nicolezian socialists. It has been vocal on the Inquistan coup. It has been extremely vocal on Eastern Haane. But I have heard nothing, not a word, on the communist takeover of Neo-Venetia, a takeover which, I must emphasize, cost the lives of over 30 Inimician nationals, among which were high-level politicians, and nearly took the life of the most import--- I mean, the life of, well, me."
Artabanos took a sip of his glass of water, which he had naturally added some of his hip flask mixture into.
"I feel like the Union needs to act more resolutely here. Inimicus cannot, and does not want to , bring down the Neo-Venetian establishment by itself. But we cannot stand idly by as these criminals bring down more jets and cause more death. Action, please. Now."
"I'd also like to raise the issue of Eastern Haane. It was with some disappointment that I saw no other government or head of state contributed to the #Pledge75 programme the Inimician government and the Artabanos Foundation set up - promising a small amount of money, collectively, towards helping relieve the suffering of the people of Haane would go a long way to solving the refugee crisis we're now likely to face. As for hosting these refugees, Inimicus is neither in a suitable geographic location nor a suitable political climate to host Haanean refugees. Inimicus borders Dromund Kaas, the largest single source of refugees this continent has ever seen. We have our hands full, colleagues."
