Message from the Premier Commissioner Sofie Čikarová following her election

People of Europe, brothers and sisters, friends, allow me to express my thanks to you. Thanks to your valiant effort the European Union finally got a Commission that will stand up for the masses, for equality and for the sovereignty of nations. Despite the predictions of our defeat we have persisted and we have won overwhelmingly. From the time we first campaigned we have build a firm United Front that proved to withstand any attack and that shall not shatter as long as there is a fire of revolt in our hearts.

Our Union is still gripped with many problems instability, natural catastrophes, unemployment, risk of armed conflict. In the coming days the creation of European Development Agency will be proposed, which will be able to provide member states the subsidies in case they have need for them and which will focus on fighting these problems. Any steps taken to re-conciliate with the Union of Nicoleizian Socialist Republics can also expect to be sponsored by the Office of Premier Commissioner. On the other hand, people of Europe can rest assured that as a Premier Commissioner I won't support any attempt to dictate the adoption of sanctions to the member states. The Commission shall not violate the free trade among the member states, instead it shall support them in their development.

I ask you, the people, to remain united. For when we united we achieved what was deemed impossible and if we remain united no task will be too big to overcome. A just Europe lies ahead. Advance forward, not one step back!

President Reiserová speech on end of the school year and the situation in Nofoaga

The Paramount Leader, comrade Albína Reiserová yesterday congratulated the students on finishing the school year in a short speech that we deliver to you.

"Dearest students, I congratulate you all on finishing the school year. I recognize that especially the firs half of the school year was complicated for all of you as the country found itself in a crisis, and yet you persisted and continued studying despite the hardships and for that you deserve our thanks. Our thanks also fully belongs to the teachers, who continued to fulfill their duties even in critical times and guided you through them, ensuring that the quality of our education doesn't decrease in the slightest. Now I wish you all happy holidays, that will allow you to regain your strength to once return in September to study hard and to continue bringing pride to your parents and your motherland, to allow you to work for her in the future, to keep her free and prosperous. To those of you who finished their education I congratulate you on your achievement and wish you fortune in your future work, may it forever fulfill you."

Said the Mother of the Nation in her inspiring speech. But comrade Reiserová continued her speech to bring attention to the situation in Nofoaga.

"But before you go to enjoy your holiday I ask you to think about our dear brothers and sisters in Nofoaga Islands, which have been hit by a horrifying natural disaster. The government has offered to send team of healthcare workers and firefighters to assist Nofoaga and now I announce that the goal of the next subbotnik will be to create material help to Nofoaga and I ask the older ones of you and your parents and your teachers to take part in the subbotnik this week, for solidarity is one of the core tenants of the immortal science of Socialist Republicanism. Solidarity forever!"

It was reported by sources close to comrade Reiserová that she herself postponed her holiday to Ruthund and Mennrimiak to take part in the subbotnik this week.

Message from Sofie Čikarová to her supporters II.

"Dearest friends, I can't express my gratitude to those of you who went and voted for me, despite the fact I was not a candidate. Special thanks belong to my supporters in Montenbourg where I placed second for the office of Internal Affairs Commissioner and Inquista and Mennrimiak where I won as a write-in candidate for the same position. Thank you!

This fact fills me not only with happiness but also with a sense of duty. Please, allow me why I didn't run for any position the last election. My country, the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia, was going through difficult and turbulent times and needed to stabilize. In such situation I couldn't, in good conscience, focus on any other task than doing my best to help the wise Socialist Republican Party and president Reiserová to stabilize the country.

Now that the country has stabilized I promise to my supporters that I will hear their calling and will be a candidate in the next election. I am still of the opinion that Europe needs a change at its head at the seat of Premier Commissioner, so I will once more be running for that position. Last election EPA was no longer able to maintain it's grip on Europe in a face of people dissatisfied with their incompetence. Absence of a strong candidate allowed a fairly unsuccessful candidate from the previous election to succeed. That is one of the two most recent successes of Dr. Walter Cocx, the second success was, of course, successfully disappointing those who voted for him because he was not an EPA candidate. I will analyze the election further once I've announced my candidacy for the position of Premier Commissioner.

To all the people. If you have troubles others do not pay attention, please, tell me about them. Even now, I want to listen so I can help once I can. If you want to help me with organizing the campaign I ask you to get in contact with me too. Do not despair for after every night the beautiful sun comes out. And what else is Cocx's premiership other than a particularly unpleasant night? But the time is still going forward and the dawn is nigh.

Take care :- )

Yours Sofie"

Statement from the Premier Commissioner Sofie Čikarová regarding the situation in the Strait of Adventuranza

People of Europe, recent developments in the disputed territory of the Strait of Adventuranza are a cause for a great concern over Europe as a number of warships entered the territory raising uncertainty and endangering the safety of the ships passing through the strait.

There is a motion in the European Council calling for a creation of international zone in the region until an agreement is reached by the two parties. I regard the creation of such zone by the European Union as a measure that should be used in only the most dire of situations, but if the disputing parties continue with escalating the dispute and do not take the necessary steps towards a deescalation the situation might indeed get to a point in which a creation of such zone would be the only way to ensure the safety of vessels passing through the strait and maintain peace.

For this reason I join the Internal Affairs Commissioner-elect Joseph Biden in calling for the deescalation of the dispute by the involved actors. I call upon the actors that have their warships located in the Strait of Adventuranza to reach an agreement to demilitarize the region, so that there is no more warships in the strait than what is needed to protect the passing ships without causing concern for safety to the other party. Do not let the situation escalate to the point where other actors, such as the European Union, will be forced to directly intervene to guarantee safety.

Regardless of the differing aims and interests of the involved parties, peace and safety must be a common aim of us all.

Prague, Czech Slavia

"Comrade president it's time." announced the secretary of the president of the Republic to Reiserová, who was standing before a mirror in her office

"Good," was, along with a little nod, the answer "let's go."

Before the power crisis in the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia, former Czech prime minister Slavomíra Černá was invited to the Most Blessed State of Inquista by the Archbishop Mikaela Kligenberg. And it was time to return the favor. Today was the day that Archishop Kligenberg visits Prague, and meeting with head of the state and government of the richest country in the European Union, left many in the higher position within the state and the party uncertain and stressed, with the exception of one.

As Reiserová arrived at the Ruzyně airport she quickly looked over the men and women in those positions, all professional officials, including the former prime minister Černá who was also present with her dog Dášenka. And although the president recieved a glamorous welcome by these people, she didn't feel particularly well among them. The man she was searching for was a national artist, the minister of culture Karel Šín, who as the only high ranking official didn't stand among the other high ranking official, but who was instead standing few metres away from them chatting with a young female civilian guest.

"Hi." Reiserová greeted Šín "And a pleasure to meet you comrade." as she greeted the young lady.

"Ah! Pardon me mademoiselle," Šín said humbly to the woman. "but comrade president is requiring my presence, I'll make sure to call you once the affairs of the state have been dealt with." and with that he pushed his sunglasses up his nose. The woman said goodbye to both the president and the minister and left.

"So, how do you think this is going to go?" Reiserová asked Šín as they were walking back to other officials.

"I think there will be a lot of winning today and the Inquistans will do what we want of them." Šín smiled.

"Are you not stressed at all? Comrade Černá told me the archbishops forms her diplomacy on the basis of who she personally likes and dislikes."

"Precisely, she'll come here, see your personality and she'll be like, dude can't handle the kindness, and do what we want. You have nothing to worry about you'll make a great impression on her I am sure of it."

"Thank you, it means a lot. Really." and after those words came the news that the plane of the Inquistan archbishop is about to land.

When Kligenberg set her foot on Czech land and walked to her hosts, she was welcomed by all of them. Slavomíra Černá expressed happiness to see her again and said she hopes that they can see each other more often in the future. Karel Šín attempted to compliment the archbishop and told her that is a painter painted a fully realistic portrait of her, the critics would think it is an idealized depiction. Albína Reiserová expressed joy in finally having a chance to meet with Kligenberg. After this, the military band performed the anthems of both nations and Kligenberg was asked to go into a car to see a orthodox cathedral which just finished renovations.

The streets of Prague were much different from a few months back, while propaganda banters and flags of both nations decorated every corner, streets were also full of people trying to aggressively sell their products and many buildings were doing through a renovation. While the slow and limited privatization allowed private persons to sell their products, government companies were even more aggressively trying to sell what they had. The archbishop had a chance to see t-shirts with her own face being sold, some of them with her name spelled incorrectly. Some of these merchants tried to run towards the car with Kligenberg and hand her some of their stuff as a gift, the Czech officials didn't see if Kligenberg took anything from them. Soon they all arrived at the Saints Cyril and Methodius Cathedral and Kligenberg was let inside, where she could have seen one elderly man praying.

"Pretty full here today." remarked Černá.

"Please tell everybody how good of a care we give to our orthodox compatriots." continued Šín.

Saints Cyril and Methodius Cathedral

After this little trip, the archbishop and the president were driven to Prague Caste alone. And Reiserová led Kligenberg inside her office, which was rather plain and decorated with paintings of Marx and Engels alongside important Czech historical figures. "Well this is my office, but I heard that you ehm... prefer a different type of place for a meeting, so if you could please follow me, I'll lead you into my personal room."

The personal room of Albína Reiserová was also rather plain, with white walls, the decoration changed to picture of the president's sons and motivational quotes.

"And this is my room! Feel free to sit down." Reiserová smiled "I've actually got a gift for you. Here, it's a painting, it's supposed to show the two of us. I know you can't really tell which one is supposed to be you, and which one is supposed to be me, but that's apparently the point, you know, showing that we are all just humans... I hope you like it."

"Before we start talking about politics, tell me how was your flight and how did you like Prague? And I'll bring you some tea!" Reiserová disappeared into the kitchen for a moment. "Forgive me that I ask, but weren't you an artist before too?" Reiserová asked from the kitchen.

Part of the command of the defense forces arrested, army is to be reorganized and efforts at mobilizing the masses to be increased.

The military police in the early morning hours stormed some military facilities across the country to arrest officers of the defense forces that during the crisis of November and December 2020 that at first refused to follow the orders of the Alexander Bílý and instead collaborated with forces trying to keep Michal Plachta in office. The command of the defense forces have later joined the calls for Plachta's resignation and up until now weren't prosecuted for their previous actions. Among the most notable officers arrested are general Rytíř and general Procházka. They are suspected of treason, for breaking an oath of loyalty to the socialist establishment of the democratic republic. All the arrested officers await trial. It will be the first time since the foundation of the Extraordinary People's Court that the defendants will be from the defense forces.

In order to secure the loyalty of the high command Reiserová's Government has decided to reorganize the army The political commissars are to play a larger role in the command of the army, ensuring its political reliability and adherence to democratic principles. The soldiers will now also be required to swear an oath of loyalty to the President of the Republic. At the same time more time will be dedicated to fighting bullying in the defense forces with tougher punishments.

The disloyalty that the high command of the armed forces have shown in the previous year also led Reiserová's Government to conclude that the mobilization of the masses is of upmost importance, so that every citizen does their duty of defending their Motherland. For that reasons new education programs will be introduce to the schools, directed at teaching kids how to act in the situation of danger. The Pioneers will now also swear an oath of loyalty to the President of the Republic. Older students at universities will also be required to learn how to handle firearms and the People's Militias are to be expanded.

The Ministry of Education has began talks with state-sponsored associations of students functioning in Czech universities like the Association of Impecunious and Progressive Students about the quality of their educators. The Ministry has promised to hear the students out and bring necessary changes. Some students protest this decision, claiming the state-sponsored associations of students are driven ideologically and there is a risk of ending the careers of educators that do not adhere to the policy of the Socialist Republican Party. Other students however praise the action of the Government and its willingness to listen to their demands, and democratizing Czech universities.

Launch event, Rally in Prague, Czech Slavia

"Comrades, sisters and brothers I can't possibly tell you how incredibly happy I am to once again have a chance to stand here before you as a candidate for the position of Premier Commissioner, that I have a chance to represent you. With my first campaign we, together, managed to create such positivity that I continued to get support from people around Europe even after my campaign ended, and for that, I am truly thankful to you and all Europeans. You are the reason why I am running again and I promise you, to do my best to get our voices, the voices of workers and farmers, heard in the Commission!

I have once again decided to start my campaign here, in my homeland, because I am truly proud to be Czech and I am home among Czechs. And I hope that every citizen of all other countries feel the same way about their background. Wherever I went I have seen amazing cultures that people deserve to be proud of. Individuals that do not love the people closest to them, people around them, are unable to love any people. They can love only themselves. And I feel like there is a candidate that does loves nothing more than himself. Who cares solely about hearing his own name and seeing his own face as many times as possible, he will go to such lengths as to plant his face on every subject he will come across and name it after himself. But I don't need to mention this candidate by name, he himself will make sure that you have heard of it as many times as possible.

I have promised before that I will at least briefly analyze the previous Premier Commisioner election and so I will do so now. After a disastrous term of Angela Merkel from EPA the election was won by a previously fairly unsuccessful candidate, the incumbent Dr. Walter Cocx. People have turned away from EPA and their candidate Peter Leeson who in turn now turned away from EPA. What a candidate! EPA picked him as their candidate, as their captain and he was the first to leave the sinking ship! The other candidate, François Le Berre, seemed like a man of some qualities and of some character, but sadly he lacked strength, when accused of being a left-wing politician, he didn't embrace his position, but instead tried to dissociate with it. It's a shame because those who are not proud of what they are can never succeed, that is why I always did and always will urge people I meet to be proud of themselves. I will say it now for everybody to hear, I am a left-wing candidate, I am a socialist candidate and I am a candidate defending the sovereign rights of nations.

Cocx won and his term was just as disastrous as Merkel's term. He tried to violate the separations of powers with his Sanctioning Powers Act, which the Council has stopped and amended his proposition, it went from a dangerous Act to a useless as the Council already had the powers to sanction and not a single santioning act was passed by this act so far. It is no wonder that Dr. Cocx, after embarrassing himself, decided to not seek re-election. But his term could have been very dangerous, if Dr. Cocx was a more capable man.

The European nightmare of Cocx premiership is coming to an end. And who caused the election of Cocx? It was EPA, with their incompetence, they endangered any possible reconciliation with our sisters and brothers in the UNSR, they endangered the unity and friendship of the people of Europe and now they called on Mr. Juncker to come back and return everything to the previous tracks, but you cant go backwards in time! It was the EPA's rule that caused the election of Cocx and their success couldn't lead to anything else but another, perhaps more capable, candidate like Cocx getting elected. This is dangerous and they must be stopped, for the sake of all Europeans!

I have briefly analyzed the previous election and why Dr. Cocx got elected and I explained why that is dangerous for the EU and for co-operation among nations. We need a Premier Comissioner who will promote co-operation. I fully support all policies of rapprochement with the UNSR, as a Premier Commissioner I would support member states in issuing their own foreign policy, and will not try to dictate them a uniform policy, the member states are able to solve this crisis, if the Commission will let them settle it and will support them in this noble endeavor. As I said during my previous run, I fully support every legislation that will fight tax avoidance, give more voice to the labor unions and will otherwise serve the working people. and my economic plan will help all member states of European Union to develop their productive forces or essential services.

My dear friends, I am sorry for talking so long, I will expand on my vision for free and inclusive Europe in the near future, but I am a woman of principles, so my principles are the same as they were previously, and I promise you I will fight for them according to my abilities. Let me once again thank you for your support, I love you all, Thank you!! I wish you a pleasant night, please, wish me a successful fight the time of Eurocrats is almost up and our time is approaching.

Foreign industrial saboteurs behind the slowing of Czech economy

The Ministry of Interior issued a statement that Czech industry, agriculture and fishing are under an attack of foreign industrial saboteurs, which infiltrated the country when foreign private enterprises entered Czech Slavia when the country was governed by Michal Plachta. According to the Minister of Industry and Trade Květoslav Musil and the Minister of Agriculture Pavel Dohnal if re-nationalization has not happened at the time it did, the level of infiltration would be much higher and the risk of complete paralysation of the economy would be much higher.

Following the urgent request of the Ministry of Interior a number of funds were redirected to the StB in order to root infiltrators out. Emergency controls on travel outside and inside the state have been introduced. People who used to be employed in high positions under foreign enterprises, especially if these were owned or partly owned by a person or persons from the United Duchies, may expect to be called to questioning by the Public Security. Same applies to holders of foreign citizenship, especially the citizens of the United Duchies, and to people working for religious organization. The penalty for attempting to leave the country without prior authorization, is temporarily increased to maximum of five years. All foreigners who are not able, or wish not to, find their own accommodation until they receive the authorization are eligible to being accommodated in a shelter free of charge. All such individuals are advised to contact their nearest municipality office and reminded that homelessness is not permitted in the Democratic Republic.

The President for Life has announced that the fight against industrial sabotage must be also accompanied by a fight against corruption. The StB is also expected to conduct more intensive examination of corruption in Czechoslavonic public services, legislature, executive and judiciary.

Plague

Rats infected with Yersinia pestis have died and plague was confirmed to be the cause of death. Pneumonic plague proved to be highly contagious among the rat population. After further considerations of past usage of bubonic plague with minimal success, deployment through releasing infected fleas has been ruled out. Aerosolised version of Yersinia pestis capable of surviving outside the laboratory has been produced successfully.

In case of necessity to protect the Democratic Republic, its socialist and democratic system and its population, Yersinia pestis suspended in airborne droplets is to be disseminated through cruise missiles.

The danger of pneumonic plague spreading into the borders of the Democratic Republic require sufficient preparation for suitable treatment and prevention of the spread of the disease. The Institute recommended to the Ministry of Health to establish a chain of communication and command between health institutions and administrative institutions to allow for accurate and high quality data regarding the potential spread of the disease and prevent overcrowding and overwhelming certain hospitals. To produce and store sufficient ammount of antibiotics, provide medical staff with further training on handling the pneumonic plague and prepare easily understandable training materials available to all citizens, regarding proper behaviour during plague outbreak to be distributed if necessary. To create a registry of individuals crucial for the functioning of the state, treating the infected and maintaining the war capabilities of the Democratic Republic in cases where lock downs might become necessary. Such measures are predicted to allow for minimization of the spread of the disease and loss of life. The recommendations were accepted. Furthermore, if Yersinia pestis is to be released by the Democratic Republic it is advised to immediately close the borders to minimize the threat of the disease spreading.

Until these measures are fully implemented small-size manufacturing of the weaponized Yersinia pestis is to begin immediately. Manufacturing of sufficient amount of missiles to be filed with the weapon is to begin immediately. Following the full implementation of those measures, the manufacturing is to be increased to medium-size.

Given the high mortality, contagiousness of the disease and difficulty of recognizing the disease based of symptoms early, the weaponized pneumonic plague is to be used as a last resort weapon, before the deployment of nuclear weapons. The Institute recommends drafting a combined biological-nuclear warfare strategies, targeting important centres, with the aim of disruption of potential enemy communication, complicating the response to the spread of diseases leading to increased panic and quick debilitation of nuclear states. At the same ties strategies must be prepared to overcome disruptions of communication of the Democratic Republic.

My vision is simple really, a strong Union that empowers the working people, the vulnerable people and the Member States, being a ground for international co-operation, diplomacy and trade, rather than conflict. A Union for 21st century, not allowing modern forms of slavery and other human rights abuses. And my past show that I achieve what I set up to do despite the opposition of the oligarchs. I have already stated with what proposals I plan to achieve this goal, so I would like to point out something different. As you can see from the honest response of Mr. Linek, even other candidates try to emulate my proposals in an attempt to reach the voters and win their support. Except they completely twist them, Mr Linek, there are no Union border that need protecting now. Your proposal would build walls inside the Union, tearing her apart, rather than protecting her.

Ms Schmitz the Commissioner have a mandate from the Member States and their citizens and you cannot arbitrarily take this mandate away. If I am elected I will make sure other Commissioner are also as active as possible. But I agree with Mr Linek that much of your criticism stems from the activity of current Commissioners in EDA. But rest assured, that if elected, I will do what is necessary. There is in particular one State filling multiple request which the Commission has denied. I would sit down with Mr Juncker and let him brief me on the situation, why the Commission has rejected those requests. And if there is a well-founded belief of this Member State submitting requests with high risk of abuse of funds, I will request to black list this State, whose Councillor also try at every step to frustrate the Agency itself. Such is my promise.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak. Dear sisters and brothers after three terms, I once again stand before you to seek your trust. As you know from the past your trust in me has not been misplaced. I said I would create the European Development Agency, and I did so, the Agency that remains a topic to this day and which we need to protect. I said I would pass a legislation safeguarding workers rights and indeed I have passed an Establishment and Termination of Employment Relationship Standardization Act, despite strong resistance by the Roscoe's lobby, I have also successfully passed a budget proposal, and took part in easing off tensions in Europe. And you can expect that, if elected, I will once again make sure that my proposals pass through the Council, to the dismay of the oligarchs and their interests.

Dear sisters and brothers, the times have changed and they call for answering new challenges. I pledge to introduce common rules for adequate minimum wages across the Union, to protect our forests, to fight against surveillance police states and unrestricted use of biometric identification systems and to fight for the rights of women. I will also fight to make public transport, healthcare and education accessible to all, across the Union and more. Moreover you can expect me to always be active on deciding with EDA funds and I will make sure the other Commissioners are active on this front as well.

What I will not do, is punish Member States that make out the Union and I will not propose lunching the Union into anarchy with automatic recalls of Commissioners, as one of the other colleagues proposes. I will also not speak in vague language of my other opponent. Thank you, I am looking forward to the debate today and I wish luck to the other candidates.

I would like to thank the Council Speaker for raising this issue in the Council. I agree with the attempt to regulate alternative medicine. At the same time, I have to wonder what she exactly meant by alternative medicine as it is not clear who will be a judge of the "lack of scientific plausibility, testability, repeatability, and/or evidence for the claims made about them". Especially I would like to bring attention to the wording "and/or evidence" meaning as leaving or means they don't have to to have the qualities of scientific plausibility, testability and repeatability as long as there is any vague evidence, since that term doesn't have a definition.

If it is the aim for these to apply uniformly across the EU, there would need to be a list of these practices, likely frequently updated. If it is intended to be left to the Member States, the text should state so in the definitions.

Now to comments the comments made by my other colleague previously, While I agree with the Article III, I feel like paragraphs a. to c. feel in fact like an endorsement of some providers of the alternative medicine, which I am not sure is a desirable outcome.

Thank you for considering these comments.
