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.

The National Security Corps detain three Duchian citizens suspected of attempting to sabotage the Czechoslavonic economy

The National Security Corps has detained Yohanna Mizrachi-Roscoe, Danya Mizrachi-Roscoe and Mathias Mizrachi-Roscoe during a festival in Litoměřice. All three are suspected of attempting to sabotage the Czechoslavonic economy. "All the evidence points that these three individuals were directly involved in the sabotage that the Roscoes company is still attempting against the Democratic Republic. One of the suspects is part of the Roscoes Management Team, yet the attempts at sabotage continue. It seems most unlikely the rest of the family is unaware of the many crimes of the Company." the prosecution has stated.

"The criminal imperialist octopus has expected that our country would fall into one of its long tentacles. But we have refused to sell our conscience , the tentacle has been cut off, people's democracy has been saved and the saboteurs can expect the people's justice." read an article in the newspaper of the Socilist Republican Party, Světlo pravdy (English translation - The Light of Truth; formerly known as Rudé právo).

The National Security Corps has not provided any other information.

Pilot project of state company management democratization will kick off at September 1

Democratization of state company management as one of the priorities of the President for Life Albína Reiserová will be started at September 1. It will concern micro, small and medium companies, primarily in smaller municipalities, moving much of the management powers away from the managers and into the hand of the workers directly. About 5% of the state owned companies will be affected, and none of them associated with strategic resources. Work distribution, wages, disciplinary actions investment of funds, will all be decided by two possible processes, depending on the democratization method chosen. In some companies these will be decided by a vote open to all the workers, they will be advised and the vote will be oversighted by the established management. In other companies new managers will be selected randomly by a lot for a year and they will decide on such issues, they will likewise be advised and oversighted by established management.

The established management is expected to prepare the workers in mandatory curses fot their new rights and responsibilities. These projects will affect mostly transport, accommodation, textile, entertainment and glass production industries. The results will be examined each quarter of the year and based on indicators of productivity, the projects might be expanded or terminated.

The small circle forming near the bonfire around of which Reiserová, Saková and Imberová danced just a couple of minutes later certainly attracted attention as the government ministers, Rodnovery preachers and members of security and police forces quickly edged sooner to listen to what was being said. "Of course Comrade President understands the values of your company and naturally, "as a great humanitarian", she detests them." Slavomír nodded with a slight smile upon his face before he turned back to face to the two members of the Llunas-Roberts family, "Yes, that is most wise. During the times in which the slight mistakes of state atheism prevailed I have always urged unity with people of differing creeds, including the Christian Churches and even the Federation of Jewish Communities,... ehm, just in case you hear about my earlier writings from anybody, mistakes of the youth, you know,... in our common struggle for the ending of all religious persecutions. But of course"

"I am sure the kids will learn a lot! At least the adult ones!" Minister Imberová responded quickly to few chuckles from number of the other Czechs and to a nod from the President which seemed to make the Minister quite happy with herself.

Reiserová turned her head back to face the patriarch of the Roscoes' family and she smiled at him yet again, "James, you and your family are on Czechoslavonic soil. The Czech people hold all power here, not your corporation, so I think deciding what is and isn't necessary is up to me." The President for Life turned away to pay attention to her other guests as well, and signalled three policemen to come over to Yohanna, Danya and Mathias each., seizing them by their right arms.

Second later Minister Dohnal approached the three as well, "Ladies, young gentleman, I have been instructed that you are to enjoy sausages before being taken to questioning, please follow me!" he declared jovially and started leading the way the three Duchians brought forth by the policemen, "I apologize, but torture of animals is banned in the Democratic Republic, so Kosher meat is not available, but we did prepare vegan sausages for you Mrs Mizrachi-Roscoe. I hope they will satisfy."

Slavomír turned his attention to Iketemar and smiled wide at her, "You underestimate our President dear Iketemar, to suggest that the suspects could escape the watchful eye of the Champion of Mokosh."

Reiserová listened to the Spaniards and her face went slightly pink in shame, "I... I knew that, you know." she lied as Sémper infromed her that Juncker was no longer the head of government of Spain, "Send Mr..... Mr President my thanks and my warm regards as well. Oh and to the King and his family. You know, I have yet to meet His Majesty. Please sit down, sit down." she instructed all her guests, that were not taken to eat sausages, to sit down on the ground.

"Now please, all of you, let's talk about the lates happenings in our countries! I feel like we have not had a chance to hear what is goin on for such a long time. For, you know, our part things have been fairly steadfast after the decision to return the forces of production into the hands of the people. And we are considering the democratization of the system of public ownership as well! We are expecting to launch first attempts later this year, maybe in a month or so! But what about you? Istkalen seems particularly dynamic. Especially with the, apologies, crazy woman Íkrat. What urges her to throw a wrench into one of the most brotherly relation in the European Union?" Reiserová sat down herself and crossed her legs, smiling at the guests.

The cities of Liberec and Ústí nad Labem and the towns of Aš, Český Těšín, Znojmo, Břeclav, Hodonín, Děčín and the surrounding areas granted a Special Economic Zone status

President Albína Reiserová has signed a law granting Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status to the city of Liberec and Ústí nad Labem and the towns of Aš, Český Těšín, Znojmo, Břeclav, Hodonín, Děčín and the surrounding areas of these municipalities. This comes together with the adoption of the nationalization plan of the entities based in Bricston, Inquista and Yosai. According to the plan these entities will be the last to be nationalized by 31 December 2025 and will be entitled to compensation for 100% of value of their property at the value at the time or nationalization, determined by the Czechoslavonic Statistical Office, the same renumeration that Czech private entities were and are entitled to. All concerned entities will be entitled to the compensation as long as they do not commit the crime of complicating or frustrating the process of nationalization.

However the new Special Economic Zones offer private Czech, Breikish, Inquistan, Yosainese and potentially Istkalenic entities the opportunity to still directly operate in Czech Slavia as long as the direct operations are restricted to the SEZs. The SEZ status has been granted to the municipalities until the year 2050. All private entities operating withing the SEZs will have to be consulted by the end of the year 2045 at the latest, if the SEZ status will not be prolonged to a given municipality.

The Ministries of Regional Development, Industry and Trade and Agriculture, as well as the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement and the regional, city and town councils of the concerned municipalities have issued a common statement, which recalls that 'every single individual in our insitutions could not stop themselves from crying happily upon laying their eyes on the ingenious proposal by the Bright Sun of the Nation, beloved comrade Reiserová, who has worked many days and nights without rest on the textm writing it in her own hand.' The statement expresses strong belief that the granting of the SEZ status is a correct step in building a prosperous socialist economy and will allow the Democratic Republic to overcome all issues caused by foreign industrial sabotage.

Preachers of the Rodnovery religious movement shall no longer reject any person with significant Slavic genes based on genealogical requirements

The Rodnovery religious movement has adopted its first rule restricting its preachers ability to reject potential members. According to this rule no person with significant Slavic genes may be denied to become a member of the Rodnovery religious movement based on genealogical requirements. Accepting new members however still remains to the preachers, including the determination of what 'significant' means. The only definition provided centrally is that significant means less then a half or more. Accepting people with no Slavic ancestry depends on the decision of the particular preacher.

Some of the former preachers have expressed belief that one of the members of the movement is now forcing their ideological views upon the religious movement, restricting the preachers abilities to refuse those who are not fully or mostly Slavic. The leadership of the Rodnovery movement has denied that the change is driven by ideology or a result of push of a singular member of the movement, but by a more correct understanding of the gods' will.

I vote AGAINST Amendment I and FOR Amendment II.

Sofie Čikarová
Councilor for Czech Slavia

Dear colleagues,

Thank you for your feedback, I believe this is very important for the future of our Union. Dear Councillor Hook, I have to say it would appear you fail to see the forest for the trees. We should focus on the functioning of the European Union as a whole and not restrict our view to one of its funds. To fail at this point in history to focus on the big picture is to miss historic opportunity for a revolutionary change necessary for the future.

Most dear Councillor Tilkanas and dear Council Speaker Tusk, you mention appointing an "emergency government". I would say that the EU has nothing that could be called a government. I take it, you are suggesting appointing an emergency Commission, correct me if I have misinterpreted your words. Council Speaker Tusk, you say that this would be legal could you point to us the precise text in a legislation you are referring to? As far as I understand, there is nothing of that sort.¨

Councillor Tilkanas you speak of certain extraordinary powers. I ask why not empower the Commission permanently, driving up interest in the institution and giving it a purpose, which it currently lacks?

I shall suggest few ideas of a direction of a reform:

1. Prolong the term of the Commissioners from 4 to 8 months. This would also serve to harmonize the terms of the Commissioners.
2. Abolish term limits for the Commissioners. After two served mandates the Commissioner shall have the possibility of expressing their interest seek re-election at least two months prior to the beginning of the election in front of the Council. If one Member State, from which at least one candidates for the mandate originates, objects to the continuation of said Commissioner, the Commissioner shall be deemed ineligible for re-election.

Sofie Čikarová
Councilor for Czech Slavia

Honorable colleagues,

in view of the European Commission election I would like to start a discussion on the topic of The Need for a Constitutional Convention with the new Commission. I think it is time to admit the Union and its institutions have been barely working over the past months an issue which requires to be urgently addressed.

I suggest it would be wise to think about the overlapping role of the Council and the Commission, which might make Commission appear pointless. The short duration of the Commission mandates furthermore prevent the Commissioners from proposing needed legislation while it forces citizens in certain states into elections with only one candidate running. Likewise the limiting effect of term mandates should also be on the agenda.

The Member States on the other hand should be able to reject certain legislative proposals in the most sensitive topics such as the issue of taxation by a veto.

Indeed I think it is a high time to call for a Constitutional Convention and to adopt a unitary policy for the negotiations with the new Commissioners to lay certain tasks upon them to prepare for a large reform of the Union as a whole which would allow for easier movement of goods between the Member States and promote peace.

Councilor for Czech Slavia

Reiserová nodded, impressed with Iketemar's words, "So true! So much creative energy is being lost in the world as we are just trying to do the right thing, all the while the spirit, which yearn for release is dying. And we just get so lost in playing the game that we lose the vision of what is, you know, truly important. Seeking the truth, revival of the ancient wisdom and creating of happier and kinder humanity. I decided to stop playing the game and seek the truth. I take it you are, you know, also a truth seeker?" Reiserová asked with a wide smile on her face.

"Oh you were persecuted? What happened? I feel like I never have the full picture from your country!" Resierová asked in a shock, "He wasn't interested in seeking the truth, which is why he was sad, of course, but, you know, the keepers of the flame should not look down upon those who fail to see the light. They should help them see. Wouldn't you agree? What is he up to now anyways, wouldn't you know? I heard there is this horrible woman, you know, Íkrat and she just doesn't understand anything at all. You are not about to give power to such a woman are you? She would make revival very difficult. Not to say, you know, our relations with her hate of all that is good and just."

Reiserová turned to her Spanish guests, "Now the talking types? That is ok, just breathe deeply and feel the joy and the blessings of the gods, I can have a phone call with Aguilar later!"

Suddenly Reiserová spotted the Roscoe family in the flesh and she froze for a moment, not sure whether she wasn't hallucinating, "Now this is excellent! Grandfather Veles must be truly pleased with us! Slavomír come here quickly!" Reiserová called out to the spiritual figure who hurried to join her and panted loudly once he reached his President.

"Mr. Mizrachi-Roscoe, I am so happy to see you here with your lovely family. Slavomír, these are the prime suspects for leading the effort to sabotage Czech economy! Isn't that right Mr. Mizrachi-Roscoe? Did your company not issue the call for Czechoslavonic workers to leave Czech Slavia to work for your enterprise elsewhere?" Albína beamed with happines, and Slavomír smiled too as he extended his hand to the Duchian Pastor.

"I knew that a Festival of Respect and Understanding would make you want to repent! Now of course, as a Councillor, we won't, you know, prosecute you, with full respect to the international standards. But your adult family member will be kindly requested to attend a court hearing right after the festival!" she looked over at Yohanna and gave her a slightly wider smile, "Worry not, unlike in your country, Czech Slavia fully respects human rights. Religious diet in our prisons is guaranteed! I mean while you are in custody, you know, not to sentence anybody." Reiserová giggled, "Have fun at the festival! Minister Dohnal can show you where the sausages are!"

Felling fulfilled Reiserová turned back to Sémper, Quintero and Iketemar, "Today is good, isn't it?" she asked with a smile.

Minister Šin exhaled loudly through his nostrils when he noticed the two guests from Spain approaching him. He was afraid they would be the first to arrive as ever since he was fired from the Spanish sitcom shot 'Jersey' he has developed quite the disdain for the Spanish culture. Not to say that they got to wear normal clothes, unlike him. "Karel Šin, my pleasure." He said as he shook hands with Íñigo Quintero and Borja Sémper directly after him.

"Any plans how to reverse the continuous decline of Spanish culture?" He openly asked Minister Sémper with a grin, "From an outside view it looks like, you know, it'll be a lot of work, so you have my sympathies. Don't worry to reach out if you need any help in elevating it!" he winked and patted the Spanish minister's shoulder.

Šín then turned his gaze at Quintero, staring at him for a little bit, before opening his mouth again, "Do I understood it well that a song about religion made you famous?" Šin shook his head slightly, "People will listen to just about anything these days won't they? We actually got a Catholic in our government now, in charge of education, Bedřich Gebauer. You'll recognize him easily, he is the only one dressed norma... not like me. But he likes country I think." he waved his hand into a distance.

Spotting Ms. Iketemar approaching, Šin straightened his back and tucked his belly in, raising his hand in a slight wave, "Weren't there supposed to be a little more of you?" he finally asked when she arrived closer to him, "Well, not to worry, the Good has arrived while the Bad and the Ugly did not." Šín chuckled at his own comment, but before he could speak again he was interrupted.

"Minister Šín, I see some of our guests have arrived, allow me to introduce them to our Clear and Brilliant Sun." Slavommír announced, beckoning with two fingers for the three guests to follow him, before leading them towards one of the fires, around which the President of Czech Slavia alongside her two Ministers danced.

"We are most pleased to see you, it is good when cultures meet, would you not agree? Please reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the religion or customs. Of course, I do not claim to have greater understanding than comrade Reiserová, but, why would one bother her with trivial questions, when she is leading the revival as a whole? I was deemed competent to answer on her behalf." he smiled at the three guests and pointed at a table with bread and salt, "Please accept our welcome." He urged each of them to take a piece before he finally led them to the President who immediatelly stopped her dancing, and panting and sweating slightly walked over to the guests.

"Greeting sister and brothers! I hope you had a nice travel? Thank you Slavomír, you may go now." she nodded to the older man who nodded and walked away, leaving Reiserová, Saková and Imerová alone with the three foreign guests as they exchanged handshakes.

"I see Mikaela did not arrive yet. And I am not sure whether she will. We barely spoke lately." for a brief moment the President's smile dissapeared from her face as she looked in Šín's direction. "Exciting times we live in, right?" she turned right back at her guests with a smile. "But first tell me a little about what is new in your countries! I was sad to learn about Mr Aguilar leaving office, we knew... a lot about each other you know. I don't yet know as much about Juncker! And I was sad to learn about Mr Rikkalek leaving the office as well, you know between us, he was a bit bizzarre." the woman in a pagan outfit whispered to Iketemar, "But he seemed nice! But you could see in his eyes that he was missing something, now before I wouldagree with Mikaela that he was missing a partner, but now I see clearly that he was, you know, missing a spiritual awakening!" Reiserová nodded and blinked several times.

11th of February
Litoměřice - Bílé stráně

The new statue to Veles was finally pulled up as the air filled with smoke from the bonfires and singing voices from the couple of Rodnovery's dancing around them. Karel Šín sighted as he scratched his left thigh, finding the white trousers he agreed to wear to the festival quite scratchy. He looked around to see the President of his state and soon enough he spotted h§er conversing with Slavomír and three other Rodnovery, all of them wearing a similar attire to his. Albína seemed to be beaming more than he had seen her ever during the last month. While Czech Slavia still struggled with temporary taxes in place, the economic situation since Albína's conversion allowed for a slight rise in wages, convincing the Czechoslavonic President for Life that material growth indeed is caused by the growth of the soul. Šín sighted once more, turning his head around and putting his sunglasses on.

"You know, I am pretty sure the ancient Slavs did not wear sunglasses Karel." announced the Minister of Health Zuzana Saková approaching from his right, alongside the Minister of Tourism Natálie Imberová, both of them wearing the female version of Rodnovery attire.

"Ah, funny you should mention that Zuzana, because, you know, I actually took my time to look at what we know about what we know about the practices of the ancient Slavs and about the religion that we practice, I even discussed it with the new guy that took over from Weisser. And we know next to nothing! We are guessing and making things up, so as the Minister of Culture I am of the opinion sunglasses were integral to their religious practices." Šín grinned, keeping the sunglasses over his face.

"This is all so silly. Why do we have to dress and act like clowns now? I guarantee to you Silas won't come precisely because of how silly this all is." Karel sighted again, feeling even more isolated by the fact that his friend won't be coming, just when he was so eager to tell him that he read on a reputable blog that the candidate Shoe was most likely manufactured in Yosai and was only pretending to be Istkalenic. "Not even the young Rodnovery want to be here. They were all hoping to, you know, get wasted with mead and beer but they can't do that now, given that the government is here and we can't be seen next to alcohol."

"Oh come on, don't be so negative! These outfits are pretty cute. And these festivals might actually attract more tourists in! And you know how much we will need them to incentivize economic growth again!" Natálie responded with a smile to Zuzana's nods, both women touching their skirts. "And I am sure the Inquistan rappers and Istkalenic Minister and Director will find you quite handsome in your attire as well! Why did you plan the festival to take place here by the way? I mean the natural monument is nice, but it will rain fairly soon, won't it?"

Šín slightly smirked at the mention that the women coming to the event will find him handsome and opened his mouth. But before he could say anything his sunglasses were snatched from his face by Albína Reiserová as she approached the small group of her ministers from behind. "Karel was not too involved in the planning. I mean, he was invited, but he fell asleep in his chair after 20 minutes of planning, so it was mostly planned by me and Slavomír!"

"Brilliantly planned and executed!" Saková exclaimed as soon as Reiserová finished.

"Well, you know, I wouldn't have falle asleep if we stopped meeting after midnight! Why can't Slavomír come sooner?" Šín protested verbally, but did not reach back for his sunglasses leaving them in the President's hands.

Reiserová shook her head in dismissal, but did not stop smiling, "I told you not to worry about that. Worrying is bad for the soul and we can't expect the gods blessings if we, you know, do not work to elevate our souls. Now, go and welcome the guests, they will be here soon! Zuzana, Natálie, can you join me for a dance around the fire? Slavomír will show us!"
