Welcome Europe to the Results show of the 42th edition of the EuroVoice Song Contest, held in Trondheim, Fremet! Today, our competitors from all around the region have gathered in this year's capital city of music and they are ready to give their best show ever and find out who the winner of this edition. Spectators from all across Europe have also come to see tonight's show, which, for sure, won't disappoint. Get your popcorn, ice cream and drinks ready, because the show is about to start!

(OOC: To begin with, I would like to apologise for the delay. Secondly, I would like to make clear that I would have loved to have Fremet as the host of this results show, and that I have waited as much as we could afford for him to do it. Regrettably for me and everyone, Fremet is unable to host it and I will try to make this show feel like if it was the show he had dreamt with. I do respect Fremet's real life occupations, I would like to send all my support to him as I have always done during these months and I hope that we are able to have him back as soon as possible, because we all know the great roleplayer he is. This one's for you, Fremet ❤️)

Tusk and Juncker's Press Conference after the Spaniard defeat on the Premier Elections

Tusk: "There is a lot of damage done to the EPA, and we have 4 months to revert that. But we have had better results than the last time."

The myth is over; Juncker was not undefeatable. The Spanish former Internal Affairs Commissioner has been defeated by the Czech candidate from the Party of the European Left, Sophie Čikarová, who has won typical pro-Juncker places like Inquista or Alkharya, with the last onepossibly being won by Juncker if the legislature hadn't voted. It's still unclear what Fremet, the Duxburian Union and Gadalland & Aspern, along with a possible vote from Kaitsja, will do, but we can project (and the European Progressive Alliance does too) that the Party of the European Left will win Permiership, and surely will do the same with the Internal Affairs Commission.

Donald Tusk, the new European Progressive Alliance chairman; and Jean-Claude Juncker, the EPA's Premier Commissioner candidate, have appeared on a Press Conference which wasn't the happiest one that could have been seen in the EPA's history, but it was at least optimistic. Jean-Claude Juncker spoke first, being very critic with himself: "I wasn't fully ready to fight for such an important position, and that can be seen even today. I wasn't 100% ready, but we have still done a huge effort and a nice campaign, even the results aren't the best ones or those we expected. Still, I have made lots of mistakes and not recognising them would be hypocritical. But, at the same time, I believe new things should be done, change should happen and so I will run again in 4 months or less if a by-election takes place. I congratulate Ms. Čikarová for her victory and wish her the best of luck for the upcoming 4 months."

The new chairman and Deputy Speaker of the European Council, Donald Tusk, spoke next: "It is obviously not the expected result, but Jean-Claude has done an amazing and valuable job despite all that took place during the campaign. There's a lot of damage done to the European Progressive Alliance; you don't need to go very far from here, we have lost on many states that previously sided with us. And that is because we haven't known how to manage the party in the opposition. I have recently taken over the group, the atmosphere is sad because we want to win and we have 4 months to revert that. But we cannot forget that the man who ran last time got worse results than those Juncker got at the moment, so it is clear we are seeing some light from the end of the tunnel. We will come back stronger, and now let's see what happens in the IAC race and if we get some happy news."

On the Strait Taxing and Claim

The Adventuranza Strait Maritime Security Agency wishes to inform that an agreement has been reached on the situation on the Strait of Adventuranza. To estabilize the region, the sound tax of the Strait of Adventuranza has been abolished, becoming effective since midnight. When it comes to the claim on the Strait of Adventuranza, the Kingdom of Spain will share the waters with the Republic of Yosai. Nonetheless, this organization and the Spanish Government still claim the Strait of Adventuranza is exclusively Spanish.

JUNCKER PUBLISHES A BOOK

I'll Come Back Soon, the new book from Juncker

"I'll come back soon pretends to be a book to tell the Europeans about my adventures from early life until our days, but it's just a part 1, because the title just shows my wishes for the future", has said Jean-Claude Juncker this morning at the presentation of his book in one of the most famous bookshops of Europolis. The book, which promises to be one of the year's bestsellers, talks about everything the Europeans wished to know about the Commissioner: His relationship with Winston, how the Eurorail project came out, the relationships with many European leaders and more.

The Europolis Post was able to get a copy months ago and now, and we promise the book rocks. Jean-Claude Juncker has always been really restricted about his private life, but this book changes everything: Juncker have gone over his early life and when his interest in politics started: "When I was a kid, we were under Franco rule. When the Spanish dictatoship died, I saw this as a chance to finally involve in politics, with a centre-right project. By that time, that was the Unión de Centro Democrático, but when Alianza Popular, what is now the Partido Popular, was born, I saw that as a better place to be, and I wasn't wrong at all".

He then talks about his era in Germanium, where he occupied the Chancellor place for some years before resigning to being devote for the European Union: "some days before I made the final decision, I told Christiane (my wife) about it. She told me that I should just follow my heart, and if I wanted to move to European Politics because that's the new challenge I wanted, then she would support me no matter how". After that chapter, he moves onto his first try to become a Commissioner, being this the time when Juncker ran for the Foreign Affairs Office: "I was wrong to run for a place I didn't know well and I ended up losing. Some told me I should go bonkers and say it wasn't my fault, but the truth was it was."

Finally, he tells the reader about the last 8 months as the Internal Affairs Commissioner and his campaigns all about Europe: "on my campaings, I'm used to visit as many place around Europe as possible. When on my second campaign I told my team that we should visit every country with a different Junckgadget, some told me that was impossible. But in the end, we did it." Says the Commissioner before dedicating a chapter to the Junckgadgets, where he adds some photos of them. Then, a huge chapter tells the reader about his adventures on the Office for Internal Affairs Commissioner, and then, an epilogue can be read. There, Juncker says this: "If I'm allowed to comeback, you can all count on me that I will run for Premier Commissioner. If I win or I lose, if I'm allowed or I'm not, only the time will say, but I'll keep fighting for the Europeans." He ends the book saying "Good luck to the candidates and See you soon".

With no doubt, the Jean-Claude Juncker's memories offer a good and entertaining trip to the Commissioner's adventures, and moreover, describes the Commissioner feelings in many ways. Who knows, maybe we will get Part 2 in a year... Oh, and for those wishing to buy it. All of them will be signed by him, with a space for a special message from him if you ever meet him. Isn't that great?

Jean-Claude Juncker's Christmas Message - Streamed though YouTube and other streaming platforms

My fellow Europeans,

I know it is unusual in our region to see a Commissioner reading a message for all of you the day before Christmas. But today, I wanted to break the tradition and address all of you in which, by far, has been the most difficult year in my political career, and one of the most difficult for us the Europeans in my opinion. I think you all deserve a message from me, and on behalf of the European Commission, I want to thank you for your effort during this year.

Back in March, I accepted the difficult challenge of running on the Commission Elections. If I'm sincere, I expected to lose the elections. It was my first time camapigning all around Europe, and I tried to visit every country I could in the fatest time possible. No matter where my team and I were, lots of people were there, supporting us. And after a tight and exciting vote, I won. Despite my rivalry with Edmund-Jasper Winston, who it's one of my friends in Europe even if you don't believe it, my team and I did it. And that's how my adventure as Commissioner started. Then, in September another election came, and that time we got an absolute majority and visited every country. In my campaign anecdotes, I remember the rally in Noctoria where some of us, including me, were scared of being arrested because of our speech calling those people to ask for democracy in their country, or when I flew over Copala City in the Junckjet and then rode the Juncktank float.

The Commission challenge itself hasn't been an easy one. During this year, my team and I have had to deal with lots of different situations and happening all around Europe: Anglexit announcement, the Eastern Haane's war, the Caspian Conflict, 2 leaders summit in Europolis, Europe Day, some Council sessions or some summits. But not everything was bad for us: I also made new friends in Europe, and even if some then had their names written in Little Maurice, that book you all know what it is for, (Juncker laughs a bit), I have find very interesting people which nowadays I chat with once a week or every day.

During these months as Internal Affairs Commissioner, I also had to deal with some ugly conflicts, but there was nothing as bad as the Civil War in Eastern Haane. I had never seen such a conflict. During those days, I suffered with every new that announced some innocents' deaths, or cruel attacks because of the mistakes of other countries. I will always remember those days, and also I will because I wasn't able to sleep thinking on the suffering of those trapped in what, days laters, was known as hell itself. Mass murderings, bombs everywhere... Hell was the word to perfectly tell what was happening over there. But not everything has been bad, because my team, whose I always thank for their help, and myself, have managed to get the Eurorail to be true, a proposed Green Deal or an Anti-Racism plan. We have achieved great things, and so we will until we leave this office.

In January, I will be leaving the office because of term limits. If I could run again, believe me I would, but we need to obey the rules that the people who founded this region and the previous Commissioner did obey too. Europeans, I hope you enjoy this Christmas season with your family and friends, because you deserve it. And even if you can't be happy because you lost somebody who was important to you, I'm sure better things will come in the close future. Others will welcome new members to their family. I also got a message to the kids: I'm sure you have all been nice, and Santa and the 3 Magic Kings, like in my country of origin, will bring you lots of gifts.

My best wishes for this Christmas and the new year.

Jean-Claude Juncker
Internal Affairs Commissioner

On behalf of the Kingdom of Spain, I vote FOR this repeal.

Donald Tusk
Councillor for Spain

Councillors, today the European Council has made one of its hugest mistakes since it was founded. The passage of the Freedom of Navigation Act 2023 opens up a new conflict in our Union, directed against certain nations, including the Kingdom of Spain, that lie under the Mediterranean Sea coasts.

For the first time ever, this Council has allowed Councillors to target European legislation at some nations, and more importantly, it has allowed these Councillors to get away with murder and impose what they cannot achieve diplomatically through European law. The European Union was never intended to serve these purposes - in fact, it was founded for the opposite thing: to make neutral legislation, to protect the European people rights and, more importantly, to serve the European people. Those principles I have mentioned have been broken with this act.

Moreover, the Speaker of the European Council also deserves a special mention as I would like to complain about her rush to close the vote on this proposal, but not on others: during the past months, Speaker Tilkannas closed a lot of proposals' votes past the deadline, for example the last 5 proposals that have been subject to a debate in this Chamber. Today, the Speaker of the European Council had no issues to close it on due time. I wonder if the Speaker of the European Council has something to say about this, or if she has finally decided to become punctual.

Councillors, luckily we have the ability to reverse this negative effects. I hope that Europe is not lost yet.

Donald Tusk
Councillor for Spain

On behalf of the Kingdom of Spain, I vote AGAINST this act.

Donald Tusk
Councillor for Spain

On behalf of the Kingdom of Spain, I vote AGAINST this constitutional amendment.

CABINET PASSES TAX CUTS ROYAL DECREE AND WARNS OF 'HARD TIMES' FOR EUROPEAN STABILITY

Alfonso Dastis (L), Íñigo Méndez de Vigo (C) and Cristóbal Montoro (R), on the press conference after the Cabinet meeting

Aguilar delivers once again, and so does the Spanish Government. The Council of Ministers has approved the Omnibus Tax Cuts Royal Decree, which will lower and eliminate a bunch of taxes that the Spanish citizens currently pay every year in their Declaración de la Renta, which 2023 campaign will start soon. Cristobal Montoro, the Minister of Finances, has been the one in charge of explaining the new tax cuts: the corporation tax will be decreased to a 12%, the Wealth Tax and the Inheritance and Gift Tax are eliminated for transfers between parents and children between parents and children and the rest of the descendant line, as well as between spouses; as well as the elimination of Stamp Duty (Impuesto de Actos Jurídicos Documentados) for the constitution of mortgages for the purchase of a primary residence. The Government has additionally eliminated the energy generation tax.

In his own words, Montoro has said Spain gives "a first step towards lower taxes" and "higher tax incomes", as the Minister for Finances reminded the press about the first tax reduction the Aguilar Goverment did after the 2008 crisis: "we reduced taxes and earned more money than we did in previous years, which evidences that our economical model works". In addition, Méndez de Vigo has revealed the Government plans for the future: "this cabinet and the President intend to keep cutting taxes while our economy grows faster".

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Alfonso Dastis, has also shown up in the press conference as the Council of Ministers has ratified the extraordinary measures taken by the Spanish Military in Gadalland & Aspern. Dastis has confessed the Spanish Government "follows the situation closely" and has made clear "Spain will not leave Sertia alone". In addition, Dastis has been encouraged by the press to give his personal views on the future of Europe: "we must be prepared for hard times to come when it involves European stability", Dastis has confessed. He has also stated that Spain "would not back off from its compromises and foreign policies and continue the hard, nice work it has been doing".

Madrid, España
15th February 2022

Another day began in the capital city of the Kingdom of Spain, Madrid. It was a sunny day, with no clouds in the sky and with the Saharian dust threatening to ruin it, as it was making its entrance through Andalusia and the southern regions of Spain. However, that day had to be perfect, as Aguilar would be welcoming to the Palacio de la Moncloa his first international guest of the year, an award that would be received by the President of Czech Slavia, Albina Reiserová, a very good friend of Jesús Aguilar.

Preparations were being made in Moncloa when the President arrived at the Consejo de Ministros building, where the summit would just start, but there were more plans designed for this very important event. Czech Slavia was a very valuable partner for Spain, as they provided the country alongside Lusitania & Vettonia with Rare Earth Metals. It was a hard deal to achieve, as Jesús Aguilar needed to betray some of his former opposition friends, but in the end, he got what he wanted and him and Albina became good friends. Both had in common a deep friendship with the Archbishop of Inquista, Mikaela Kligenberg, and the Emperor of Inimicus, Artabanos.

That day, the Spanish President had several goals on mind, including strengthening the bilateral relationship between his nation and Czech Slavia, but he wanted to meet Reiserová a little bit more. Jesús entered the building to personally make the final checks, heading directly to the Salón Tapiès, where the press would see them both for the last time, unless a press conference took place later on. He saw that the flowers with the Spanish and Czech flags, and then a member of the staff entered the room: "Oh, Mr. President, I didn't expect you to be here! I'll come back later", he said. The President rapidly turned around and answered: "No no, please, come in. I was just checking everything was alright!". The member of the staff entered the room, impressed by the presence of the Head of the Government.

SPAIN AND SERTIA INCREASE THEIR COOPERATION WHILE THE TERRITORIAL CRISIS CONTINUES

A Spanish F-35, departing from Slalium's Air Base

The Army, the Armada and the Air Force, alongside the Caribbean and Pacific Command. All the military branches and organisations deployed in the Caribbean are following closely what is being played in the 'Sertian Threatre', where Spain holds a significant military base with a recently opened spaceport from where the first Spanish mission to the Moon is expected to take off and modern systems to reinforce Spanish military capabilities in the Caribbean, where it aids both Nofoaga and Gadalland and Aspern in Defence matters.

After the Braetha's authorisation to help Sertian authorities to control the situation in Gadalland and Aspern, the Spanish Armed Forces did not lose any valuable second: at the moment, Spain continues to enforce the Sertian law and the extraordinary measures passed by the Braetha, including the curfew that starts at 20:00 every day. The Spanish soldiers have also arrested hundreds of violent rioters, in an attempt to get the island back to its normal, peaceful status, something that is progressively, but slowly, happening.

However, as the days pass, the Commander for the Caribbean and the Pacific, General Carlos Brown, has approved new measures to protect the island: while he has provisionally moved to Slalium Military Base to follow the crisis closely (he usually lives in the Base Militar de Bourbon, Nofoaga), he has ordered the deployment of the Spanish Armada to patrol Sertian waters to avoid "unwanted nations joining 'the party'", a close source to General Brown has stated. In addition, the Spanish Air Force is patrolling the skies continuously under this pretext.

Furthermore, the Spanish Military has begun the military training of the first "Sertian Army" soldiers, formed by volunteers from Sertia that, under the Defence Agreement signed in Antequera, have the chance to join the Spanish military, receive training and then form the Sertian Armed Forces. Unlike in Nofoaga, where Nofoagan citizens become Spanish soldiers under the Nofoagan flag, in Gadalland & Aspern Sertian citizens will make up their own army.

AGUILAR SUMMONS AN AUTONOMICAL AND PRE-AUTONOMICAL PRESIDENTS CONFERENCE IN MARCH

The flags of several autonomous communities of Spain flying in their respective masts

President Jesús Aguilar has summoned the usual Conference of Presidents of the Autonomical and Pre-Autonomic States, that will take place in March this year; and for the first time, in a non-autonomous community, with Grequia hosting the conference. The decision is not extraordinary or surprising, as the Minister for Territorial Administrations, Marta Merino, had already announced that this event would take place before April 2023, and she had already suggested that the summit could take place "somewhere that would not have held any conference before".

The recently-announced conference will give several autonomies a chance to express their proposals directly to the Head of the Government, a chance they rarely have as meetings with them are rare and only take place once every two years, due to the huge amount of autonomies and pre-autonomic states Spain has and the massive workcharge that the President needs to deal with every year. Expectations are high within the group of Autonomous Communities, while Pre-Autonomic States do not have the same feelings; due to the huge time their integration into the autonomic system is taking: as of today, it is been a thing for 47 years... and counting.

Nevertheless, this seems to be a priority for the Aguilar Cabinet, that might want to use this summit to make some advances in the process. The first sign has already been given: for the first time ever, the conference will last for 3 days, and one of them will be used to discuss the matter profoundly. The Government also wants transport, funding and other issues like Health and Education to be discussed during the conference meetings, while several regional governments have already stated they will take their own concerns and issues to the summit, one of them being Gibraltar.

Aguilar paid attention to the arrival of the steam train to Heamberdale station, where their trip would begin. He followed Dína into the train and took a seat in front of her. "I will take the Sertian dishes, I have been told they taste fantastically well and you do not have the chance to prove it by yourself every day, Councillor", Aguilar said. The waiters served the Sertian dishes selection, which were indeed delicious, and the Spanish President asked one of the waiters to congratulate the cooker for his awesome job.

While both eated, Aguilar answered to Dína's question: "They have changed indeed. I see that Gadalland and Aspern has changed a lot and that is showing the European Union the potential we both knew it had. I must confess you that I feel ashamed when some continental nations use those despicable words to describe your nation, and I usually say that they do not know the real Sertia. Also, how big of an impact has the Caribbean Transatlantic Fund had since its establishment in our last summit alongside Nofoaga?", Aguilar inquired, filled with curiosity.

Just after the train arrived to the Sertian city of Slalium, the Sertian Councillor and the Spanish President headed towards the spaceport, where the action would begin. There, the recently elected Head of the Braetha, Fornithias Cranst, awaited for the arrival of his friend and Jesús Aguilar. When the Spanish President arrived, he shook hands with his Minister of Science, Innovation and Research, Anja Karliczek; the Spanish Ambassador to Gadalland and Aspern, and several members from the Sertian Delegation before finally reaching his new friend, Fornithias. Both shook hands and Aguilar spoke: "Mr. Cranst, it is an amazing pleasure to finally meet you in person! Thank you very much for such a nice welcoming to your nation, Councillor Dína and I have been able to have a nice, fluent and interesting conversation during our journey towards our encounter".

Aguilar then started to walk alongside the Head of the Braetha towards where the media from Gadalland and Aspern and Spain were waiting with their microphones, as a joint address would take place in the spaceport. The Spanish President did not let the chance to speak a little bit more to Fornithias while they headed there: "How are you doing, Mr. Cranst? I have heard that you have had a lot of work since you took over office from Mr. Wond; as I follow the news from Gadalland and Aspern and our common Caribbean friend, Nofoaga, with huge interest". After their little talk concluded, Aguilar and Cranst arrived at their own lecterns, with the Spanish and Sertian flags on the background alongside the European Union's flag. Aguilar was the first to speak:

"Good morning everyone,

First of all, I would like to begin by thanking the Sertian delegation, and specially Councillor Dína and Mr. Cranst, for their warm welcome to Gadalland and Aspern, and also for asking me to open this press conference. I would also like to thank the workers that have made this spaceport possible before I start, and the Spanish delegation for their hard work alongside the Sertian people and Government in order to get this project going. Without someone's work, this spaceport would not have been possible.

Today, Gadalland & Aspern and the Kingdom of Spain give a very important step towards the future, marking an important ocurrence in both nation's calendar. The opening of the Slalium spaceport does not only meet one of the goals our Governments set back in our last summit in Antequera, but also opens the door to creating new ones. Mr. Cranst, the spaceport that we are inaugurating together at this moment also starts a new era in our bilateral relationships, making Spanish-Sertian cooperation strenghthen even more: that is why that I would like to announce that if the Sertian Government accepts, a Sertian astronaut will accompany 2 Spanish astronauts to the Moon when the mission departs from this spaceport.

We have three amazing days ahead, but one thing will be clear from the start to the end of this summit: the Spanish Government and myself love Gadalland and Aspern and have a nice relationship with our Sertian counterparts. This summit is a celebration of that friendship, that began a few years ago and has increased since the entry of Gadalland into the European Union. And I would like to send a message to everyone following this press conference from the continent and that has some prejudices about this island and Nofoaga: ask the people here about what they want instead of assuming that they wish to have certain things. The Caribbean's voice is strong enough to say, loud and clear, and without intermediaries, what they want, and Spain will always respect the will of its people and help them in what they need, whenever it is needed, and wherever it is required.

Thank you very much, I now give the floor to today's main character, Mr. Cranst".

Aguilar smiled and looked at Fornithias, that was set to speak a few seconds later...
