KA: And we have another call coming, this time from the Archrepublic of Vayinaod, where Sofie Čikarová has won the Premier Commissioner race, followed by Kittichat Thongthang in second place. When it comes to the Internal Affairs Commissioner race, the victory is for Ilmaras Kalessed. Both candidates are from the Party of the European Left, that makes Vayinaod one of their strong places. And finally, we have Pekka Haavisto from Mennrimiak, who has been chosen by the Vardics to be the new European Foreign Affairs Commissioner.

(Katya is interrupted by the Elected Candidate Theme)

KA: And ladies and gentlemen, we have some BREAKING NEWS, Pekka HAAVISTO has been elected as Foreign Affairs Commissioner. As no other candidate is running for the seat, the Mennrimian wins a seat on the Commission, which also means that it's the first time the Kingdom of Mennrimiak gets to the European Commission, congratulations to them and of course, to the first winner of the night, Mr. Haavisto. Before we meet our first guest of the night, we are going to give away some data from the last Foreign Affairs Commission elections, as these aren't usually very exciting, but from the last 4 elections for this seat, it has been contested twice: one by Jean-Claude Juncker, a race he lost by just two votes; and 8 months ago, when Mitchell won by 7 votes against Reagan. The other two races are well-known: this one, which has already been won by Haavisto; and the one the Inquistan Antoni Reynels won with 26 votes, the highest amount of those a candidate has ever got on a election.

---

KA: And we go from speaking about a Mennrimian, to speaking to a Mennrimian. Tonight, our first guest is the Mennrimian candidate for Internal Affairs Commissioner, Sanna Marin. Ms. Marin, good evening.

SM: Good evening Katya, thanks for the invite.

KA: The pleasure's ours. The first question I would like to ask you is about your personal expectations for this election. You are not the favourite candidate, according to the polls, but do you think you still have a chance to become Europe's next Internal Affairs Commissioner?

SM: If I am honest, no. I am aware I won't win this election for the Internal Affairs Commissioner office. But many at home will be asking theirselves, is it worth to try? And the answer I give to them is absolutely; it is always important to try, at least once.

KA: You are brave to recognise you have no chances, Ms. Marin; but I encourage you to trust in your possibilities until the election is called for any of the candidates. Now, I would like to ask you: Who do you think that will win this election? What candidates are your favourites for these offices?

SM: Well, it's difficult to affirm who will win this race, there are some predictions about who could win but, in my opinion, it is possible that we get to see some surprises. And about the second question, I can only say that I would like my fellow countryman, Mr. Niinistö, to win. But that doesn't matter much, because the Europeans need to answer to that question, and not me.

KA: I also wish to ask you about your proposals, as we could just see you at the beginning of the Internal Affairs Commissioner debate held in Europolis not a long ago. What are your proposals for the European Union?

SM: I am proposing everyone to forget about ideologies, which basically means not camapigning for having member states governments' power over the European Union's, or to win just because you want the European Union to work closer with all the nations. That conception of campaigning for what your party or Eurogroup wants just divides Europe even more. I know that, as a voter, you only have the choice between loving, hating or not caring about the European Union; and we must change that attitude and campaign for what the Europeans need, no matter if they need jobs, healthcare or a place to live in.

KA: Ms. Marin, the interview has come to an end. On behalf of the Euronews team, I would like to wish you the best of luck for this election and thank you for being with us tonight.

SM: Thank you very much. And citizens of Europe, don't forget to vote, Europe depends of your opinion!

KA: After Vayinaod comes the Most Blessed State of Inquista, which has just called the election for Sofie Čikarová, with just a 0.06% margin between her and Jean-Claude Juncker on the Premier Commissioner office race; Joseph Biden for Internal Affairs with the second preference being delivered to Ilmaras Kalessed; and supporting the now elected Foreign Affairs Commissioner Pekka Haavisto from Mennrimiak.

KA: But ladies and gentlemen, there is no time to rest as we receive another election call from another Mediterranean country, the Kingdom of Spain. And it is no surprise to tell you that the European Progressive Alliance's candidates, Jean-Claude Juncker for the Premier Commissioner Office and Paul-Gabrielle Muzhare for the Internal Affairs Commissioner Office, have won with a landslide over the other candidates. And as it's usual, Pekka Haavisto gets another vote, which also means some more support for his candidacy, which has already been successful.

As we don't expect more calls today we will come back tomorrow, thank you very much for turning Euronews on. Live from Europolis, I am Katya Adler and this is Election Night: Europe Decides. Good night.

Special Broadcast - European Commission Election: Day 2

With Katya Adler

---

KA: Good morning Europe, we are live from Europolis, in front of the European Commission building and it's the second voting day for this European elections. Less rpojections are expected to arrive today, but we might have some surprises. During the night, two states have called their results and we are working on the graphics to tell you want happened at Istkalen and Gania. But before that, I must welcome you to Election Night: Europe Decides.

(The Euronews European Commission Election Special Broadcast plays as the programme intro. (OCC: Just until 0:35))

KA: And as we said we received a call from a Eastern European country, and that is the Republic of Istkalen where, unsurprisingly, Sofie Čikarová won the race for Premier Commissioner and their candidate, Ilmaras Kalessed, won the race for the Internal Affairs Commissioner Office. These two women are followed by the Mennrimian Foreign Affairs Commissioner Office candidate, Pekka Haavisto, that gets another vote into his bag. And we also must comment that some external polls in Istkalen have projected Jean-Claude Juncker and Joseph Biden would win the race for Premier and Internal Affairs respectively, which very much goes against the results we have at the moment; yet we will stay tuned to any vote that confirms or makes this polls null.

[Spain]

KA: And we have another election call, from the Republic of Gania. It's the first time they vote on a European Commission election, and this is how they voted: for the Office of Premier Commissioner, it is Sofie Čikarová from the Party of the European Left, who wins the election, followed by Harish Desai on second and Jean-Claude Juncker in third place; but for the Office of Internal Affairs Commissioner, it is the national candidate Sebastián Piñera Echenique the one that wins the Internal Affairs Commissioner race. And we have some news concerning the Foreign Affairs Commissioner race, Gania has decided to Abstain, as their votes has been casted with a second preference to the only candidate.

---

KA: Moving on, we have a new guest here, in front of the European Commission building. Harish Desai, from the United Duchies and part of the European League of Sovereign States, good evening.

HD: Good evening, what a lovely night it is tonight.

KA: Before we start, I wanted to ask you about your confidence on yourself. Do you think you can be Europe's next Premier Commissioner?

HD: It's possible, I believe, but if it happens realistically it would be on second preferences. At the end of the day it's not over until the result is given and we will look with hope until then.

KA: In the case you did not win the race, who would you like to see as the European Union's Premier Commissioner? Also, who is your favourite candidate on the Internal Affairs race?

HD: Personally I think the PEL's leadership is a good option for Europe we disagree on the extent of sovereignty and what it means but at least we agree that sovereignty is the key part of an EU-Nation relationship. For internal affairs I think it's no secret I support Biden, but PEL is a good second vote.

KA: Now, getting onto political matters, I wanted to ask you about your attitude. We have seen you plenty of times in your rallies shouting "No, No, No", like a 3-year-old kid according to many on social networks. Why do you this? What is the motivation or cause of this attitude that some consider childish? Is it childish according to you?

HD: It is simple to understand and memorable. Some may consider it childish, but we need to remember politics is for all people so you need a simple to understand and memorable message. Many times parties in Duchies have ran on such simple slogans and rallying cry's, it is not about treating the voter as stupid but being a clear communicator.

KA: On your closing statement at the debate, you told the Europeans to vote for anyone but the European Progressive Alliance. Why should the Europeans hear your advice? What is, according to you, the worse thing of the EPA?

HD: I think the worst thing is they just keep trying to continue federalising policies, introducing yet more and more social control policies in the Council eroding sovereignty one bill at a time. They may speak the language of sovereignty this time but it's only to get votes, they don't believe it as in the same manifesto they call for more mandatory agencies control over more areas including borders now. They don't believe in freedom and sovereignty for nations frankly and will lie to get into power to federalise more.

KA: On your list of principles, we can find a proposal called "a Treaty Based European Union". What is this idea about and why do you think it would be better for the Europeans to introduce it? Do you think it would solve most of the European Union issues?

HD: One of the problems right now is Council legislation can clash with cultures as it is one size fits all by nature now for some stuff like human rights that's appropriate but for many policies like social ones there needs to be room to adapt for cultures treaties allow for this and opting in to only the ones that benefit your country, basically I would set up a system where nations can sign a motion to set up a committee to bring nations together to negotiate where they can send their Councillours. A treaty would get written up and voted on by majority of the committee to confirm that's the final form they wish it to take; then a nation can sign up or not depending on whether it fits their needs well enough. This would ensure countries choose their level of integration with other countries and what areas they give power to Europe in and allow them to leave if it doesn't work. All freedoms nations don't have at the moment. This could benefit nations who believe in integration too as it makes it more likely issues that affect specific regions or types of countries will get legislation that need for example maritime treaties over certain areas. I also think Eurorail would have had an easier time since it wouldn't have faced the opposition from Mennrimiak for example.

KA: To end with this interview, I would like to ask you for a prediction. Will you make it to the final round?

HD: I think it is possible but in the end it's up to the voters and legislator's of Europe and ultimately the nations but even if I don't if I nudge the needle in the direction of sovereignty then I have done my job.

KA: Thank you very much for the interview Mr. Desai, good luck.

HD: Thank you, have a good night.

[Spain]

KA: Ladies and gentlemen we have another call, this time from the Kingdom of Reitzmag, where we have some shocking news for our last guest, Harish Desai. In a very tight and exciting vote, Sofie Čikarová manages to win the race for the Office of Premier Commissioner by just 8 constituencies, and it is the second time Ms. Čikarová wins a country with a very small margin to her most direct rival. On the contrary, there has been no surprise on the Internal Affairs Commissioner race, with the national candidate Joseph Biden winning the election by a landslide. Finally, the newly elected Foreign Affairs Commissioner will not get a vote from the Kingdom of Reitzmag, after its people decided to abstain for this election, something very surprising seeing that Reitzmics used to see Mennrimians as friends.

(Projections Theme interrupts Katya Adler)

KA: And that music, ladies and gentlemen, means that Euronews has a projection for you. According to our sources in Brickston, the European Progressive Alliance candidate for the Office of Premier Commissioner, Jean-Claude Juncker, is expected and thus projected to be the winner of the race in the Republic of Brickston. It is the first time this new European Union country will vote on a Commission election, and they will do for the former Internal Affairs Commissioner. Concerning the race for Internal Affairs, Euronews isn't able to make a projection, yet we are keeping track of what is taking place at Brickston right now.

How EPA lost the Duchies

It was so hopeful that mid 2020 when the United Duchies finally joined the Union after years of campaigning and trying. The fervour was obvious you could see it in the streets with the street parties , EU flags and all the hype and support from politicians but alas the honeymoon was shortlived once people realised what it meant after changes a few months in. You see the Duchies has always valued sovereignty and a sense of some laws should be local especially social laws including laws like gay marriage and whether ceremonies can be conducted in a Duchie or over health issues and laws surrounding that. The first creeks occurred as northern Duchies were forced to not only allow civil ceremonies as they had to before but call it gay marriage , still this was only the north right!

But then it happened the flood of legislation over social issues particuarly from a councillour now commonly known in the Duchies as "Do Gooder Granger". First it was okay with Child Marriage Act and the Reproductive Healthcare Act but then came the defeat by EPA of ammendments to once again let states decide their marriage laws , then the Mental Health Act proposals among others and the failure of the EPA to support changing EACA enough to allow countries to truly decide how they select their councillour putting limits on new entrants options. The increase in law proposals continued upsetting Sovereignty supporters even more it was truly over for the EPA. You see they went over the line the EU as entered was just right sovereignty but local control over laws also but it became increasingly clear in Duchian eyes the the EPA wanted to federalise now with the Frontex Proposals and further proposed powers of the EU over member states key laws. The stage was set the ELSS and candidates like Bidens and PEL's candidates times had come despite anti-leftist sentiment from the attacks in the Duchies , maybe the Duchies can learn to love the EPA again but can the EPA change enough , allow enough sovereignty or roll back powers at the EU enough for this once entirely hopeful and Europhile nation to learn to love the EPA again , who knows but on a current trajectory I doubt it with who they have in their membership!

Europolis, November 11 2021 - The second Cikarova Commission has begun its term as Premier Commissioner Cikarova, Internal Affairs Commissioner Biden, and Foreign Affairs Commissioner Haavisto take their seats in the European Commission after more than a week of serving as Commissioner-elects. Prior to the start of their term, Commissioners Cikarova and Biden have already began their duties by issuing statements during the Strait Crisis. And just last night, the Premier Commissioner released a statement on her re-election while the Internal Affairs Commissioner immediately began his duty by releasing a statement on the upcoming Constitutional and Acquis Communautaire Review which he promised during his campaign. Analysts commented that the new Cikarova-Biden-Haavisto Commission will be a game changer in the future of the EU due to the issues that are pressing, such as the rise of hard eurosceptics and exit movements. "I believe that this Commission is likely to break from tradition and completely reform the EU, but I warn them that there are some downsides for too much reform", said Political Analyst and co-founder of the European Union Reform Organization Ban Ki-moon. Approval rating of the Commission went with a good start in many countries, especially with their eager action prior to the start of their term.

Hampton City, January 25 2022 | The renowned and controversial Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Reitzmag has accepted our invitation for an exclusive one-on-one interview with Belle Donati. Let's take a look at what the controversial leader shared to us.

BD: "Good day to everyone and to you Mr. Prime Minister."

PM: "Good day to you too Ms. Donati, and to all the viewers. It's an honour to be here."

BD: "First of all, thank you Mr. Prime Minister for accepting our invitation for an interview despite your very busy schedule. You've been very well known across Europe for being a strong man since you came to power last 2020. But could you tell us a backstory of your rise to power?"

PM: "Well first off, I lived in a privileged family. My father was a business man and my mother was a professor at the prestigious Oxford University, and they had influenced me so much now that I am in my political career. My first job after graduating college was to manage my parent's business before I passed it onto my brother when I got a job in the Department for Intelligence and Tactics as an office agent. Eventually I got promoted into being a field agent when my shooting skills were discovered by my seniors. Later on, the National Intelligence Service recruited me as an agent of the Secret Intelligence Service and had been deployed in multiple foreign and local missions. Seven years ago, I decided to quit my career in being a secret agent to pursue a political career. Became a councilor in my home town of Hayle and eventually became an MP. And from there, I worked my way up to the party leadership."

BD: "Your story is very inspiring to many people who wish to follow your footsteps and pursue a career in politics, but is there any motto that you always have in mind throughout your life that motivated you to keep going with your career?"

SB: "My motto in life has always been something my mother had taught me when I was a kid. She always taught me to expect the unexpected, hope for the best, and god will do the rest. My parents raised me very religiously and always reminded me about god. And I have to be honest, but these teachings made me wonder for once in my life to become a priest."

BD: "But well now you did not become a priest and here we are, right? Anyway, throughout your career, you have faced various controversies and issues. However many people also noted that you remained and stood firm despite these issues, what can you give as an advice for those who are facing problems everyday and want to quit."

SB: "Issues have always been there, and these are just challenges given to us to test and push us to our limits. There is no right or wrong in facing issues, because you learn something from it either way. And I hope that everyone who hears this take this in mind and be inspired to continue with everything they're doing."

BD: "I'm sure that many people will be inspired and motivated by your words Mr. Prime Minister. Among the issues you have faced, what is or was the most difficult?"

SB: "Throughout my career, the biggest issue I faced was the Reitzmo-Hispanic Diplomatic Crisis. I had barely slept thinking of solutions to the conflict when I became Prime Minister at the height of the situation. But of course, many people motivated me and helped me to face it and now we are continually recovering from what happened."

BD: "Speaking of the Reitzmo-Hispanic Diplomatic Crisis, many people wonder how a simple conversation in a park in Europolis had solved a conflict that many thought would've sparked a war between two European powers. Was there a reason for such a decision on approaching the situation?"

SB: "Well in fact, the decision to solve the conflict in a park had a symbolic meaning. Before it happened, I was consulting my advisors and went to confession at a nearby church. The priest behind the confession box told me that the situation I'm facing is not a walk in the park. And later on I thought, maybe the priest was wrong and came to an idea of resolving the conflict in a park. It was pretty much a symbolism showing that after all the conflict, the solution could be a walk in the park."

BD: "As funny as the backstory may seem, I think you made a very good decision Mr. Prime Minister. People now also wonder, when you will have a child who will likely follow your footsteps?"

SB: "Actually I think it's time I reveal this. My wife has finally been pregnant for five months. Currently she's staying at our home in Hayle with her siblings to help her with the pregnancy."

BD: "That sure is a very shocking revelation Mr. Prime Minister. But moving on for my final question, what can you say to those people who have criticized you and opposed your policies, ideologies, and leadership?"

SB: "I have nothing against these people and I respect their opinions. I am willing to take into account their suggestions and recommendations as a supporter and advocate of democracy. I hope that they would one day fix their problems with me and cooperate in our programs and initiatives."

BD: "Once again, thank you very much for your presence with us Mr. Prime Minister."

SB: "My pleasure."

Europolis, July 19 2022 | Premier Commissioner Joe Biden is set to make his final speech as the head of the European Commission while polls continue to open for the European Elections. It is expected in the term-end State of the Union that PC Biden will outline the programs and plans achieved under his administration, as well as the projects to be inherited by the next European Commission. In addition, there's also expectations for his recommendations and concluding remarks as his administration comes to a close due to term limits. So far, there are no comments yet made by the Officer of the Premier Commissioner on Sir Biden's plans after his term ends. However, most suggest that he will be living in retirement from politics and would focus more on his private life as a regular European citizen.

Special Broadcast - European Commission Election

With Katya Adler

---

KA: Good evening to the whole of the European Union and welcome to this special Euronews broadcast, live from the European Commission building at Europolis, from where we will be reporting what happens in this very exciting European Commission election and what the final result turns out to be. We have prepared a number of interviews, tried to upgrade our graphics and introduced new sections to make this special broadcast more interesting than ever before. So stay with us if you want to have the best information. I'm Katya Adler, and this is Election Night: Europe Decides.

(The Euronews European Commission Election Special Broadcast plays as the programme intro. (OCC: Just until 0:35)

And right now, this is how the situation stands:

For the Premier Commissioner race, Jean-Claude Juncker from the European Progressive Alliance is leading with a huge margin to his rival, the Duchian independent candidate Calvin Künhert. The margin between them is 4 votes, and even if the race seems pretty clear right now, we expect it to get more exciting as the days go on.

In the Internal Affairs Commissioner race, hoeever, the result seems to be less clear. Kevin Cotilla from the European Progressive Alliance, leads with a margin of 2 votes over his rival, the incumbent Commissioner Ilmaras Kalessed. It is impossible as of today to predict who will get the office's keys in Europolis, and we expect this race to become the most exciting one.

Nevertheless, if you are really impatient and cannot wait for the final results, you have the Foreign Affairs Race, with the European Progressive Alliance candidate, Antoni Reynels, has won the office. He was the only candidate to stand for this position.
