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

Juncker stood up and shook hands with Commissioner Cotilla before reaching the podium, where he was expected to give his speech. He was carrying a dossier with some papers inside it, which he opened after drinking some waters that was served by a member of the staff present at the European Leaders Summit room. Jean-Claude was then ready, once more, to speak to the European leaders in Europolis:

"Good evening, my dear European leaders.

Before I start, I would like to thank the Internal Affairs Commissioner, my great friend Kevin Cotilla, for giving me the chance to speak to you all here today. I also want to thank those who have attended the summit today for their interest in keeping up with the activities and the agenda the European Commission pushes forward, and their compromise with European affairs. The Commission or the European Union itself are unable to work if there is no proof of compromise from the member states, and despite many of them being absent today, I am more convinced than ever before that there is compromise in this Union.

If I am honest with you, I have never expected that I would, yet again, have the chance to address all of you in an European Leaders Summit in Europolis, in this building that is one of the many things my Commissionship gave to the European Union. This summit was crucial to keep contact with leaders, to keep the Commission informed and ready for whatever challenge we had to face. In the 2 summits that were held under my command, the leaders that attended addressed many topics of importance, that were later addressed by the Commission and resolved. My successors might not have understood the significance of this event, but I am glad that Kevin did and brought the fastest dialogue between the Commission and member states back. As I have said many times, Europe would be nothing without its members.

On my side, I would like to make clear that my door is always open, my phone is always operative and that, if you ever need anything from me or my Premiership, I will be there at your request. In my campaign, I promised to unveil the real power of Europe, and this is part of this "unveiling process" that our region is living. I also want to announce that, before the end of September arrives, I will have submitted the budget to the European Council, and that I hope to meet Speaker Tilkanas as soon as possible.

Thank you very much, and I hope we have a very productive summit".

Juncker then went back to his seat after drinking some water.

On behalf of the Kingdom of Spain, I vote FOR the amendment.

Donald Tusk
Councillor for Spain

I vote FOR the Amendment.

MINISTER TRUSS MEETS PICARDO TO DISCUSS GIBRALTAR APPROACH

Minister Liz Truss and President Fabián Picardo, before their meeting this morning

The Minister for the Spanish Commonwealth Affairs, Overseas Missions and Territorial Waters, Elizabeth (Liz) Truss, has met today with the President of the Autonomous City of Gibraltar, Fabián Picardo, in order to discuss the approach the Spanish Government is going to follow on the area and hear the thoughts of the Gibraltarean President on said strategy, which has been described as "game changing" by Truss.

Picardo has defined the meeting as "productive and useful for the Gibraltarean people", while affirming that the plans drawn by Liz Truss on the summit are "satisfactory for the Gibraltarean Government and for Spanish interests in the area". Truss, who is expected to harden the approach followed by former Minister Teodoro García Egea, has stated she will not allow "any humilliations when it comes to Gibraltar" and that if someone expected her to be a "cute, lovely cat, they will be proved wrong", because she will be "a lion that will not hesitate to bite her enemies" if necessary.

Truss, who represents the hardest line within the Partido Popular, was appointed by Aguilar to reinforce that hard speech on the issue. According to Presidential sources the former Minister, Teodoro García Egea, was "really soft" and he had "no credibility" after the Adventuranza Sea dispute got resolved. Truss is, according to the same sources, a "reliable bet" and that she will "accomplish all the objectives she is given on his job". To prove she will be a hard Minister, she has joined the Armada soldiers on a ship deployed in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Jean-Claude Juncker woke up early that morning surprising his wife, Christiane Frising, who did not expect this move from the Premier Commissioner: "where the hell are you going to at 6:45am, Jean-Claude?", she asked quite disturbed because her sleep after her 'girls red wine night' had been disturbed. The Premier Commissioner answered back: "to the office, my love. I have to prepare something before the Leaders Summit Kevin is holding today". Christiane was shocked to see her husband had been invited to that, but she fell asleep again before she could answer back.

"Ah, the girls red wine nights... I wonder why I have the fame of loving alcohol so much", Juncker said to himself, laughing. He got dressed and his official car was waiting on his Europolis' house door. "Good morning, Noémie, is your husband having a nice recovery?", Juncker asked his driver when he got into the car. "He is indeed, thanks or your interest Mr. Juncker! Where are we going today so early?", the driver answered back. "To my office, s'il vous plaît", the Commissioner concluded.

When he arrived at his office, no one had arrived yet. Jean-Claude thanked Noémie for the great service, and entered the building with his own key, de-activating the alarm. He approached to the lift, which was mysteriously taken by someone, and so he decided to wait. When the doors opened, the security guard frightened. "Mr. Juncker! I did not expect you here", the man said. "I am very sorry, Olivier, there's a lot of work to do!", the Premier said. He then went to his office, in the last floor, and worked for a few hours while having breakfast.

An hour before the summit started, and wanting to get there first, Jean-Claude left his office and headed to the Leaders Summit building. Some good memories arose on Juncker's head, trying to wonder if Simon Bridges would even attend the summit, or if anybody would misbehave and turn this into a kindergarten. When the motorcade came to a stop, Juncker got off his car and headed towards a police officer who he had known for some time, and kissed him in his cheeck twice.

The Premier Commissioner then entered the building, met the press covering the event and answered some questions. He then found Kevin Cotilla, the Internal Affairs Commissioner, on the meeting room, getting the final details ready: "Bonjour Kevin! Are you nervous about your first EU leaders summit? I am pretty sure you will do great, just wait and see. Thank you for inviting me to this event, it is making me feel nostalgic", Jean-Claude said, laughing.

President Aguilar and Councillor Donald Tusk were underway to the European Leaders Summit in the President's Airbus A350 private jet. Even if Donald would not take part in the summit, he was travelling with Aguilar to give him some advice about the summit. "Things have been calm in Europolis for a while, but stay alert", Tusk commented, while the President was finishing his daily read of the national newspapers and headlines. "I am one of the European leaders, if not the one, that has been the most time in the lead of his country, you know that I will not allow Spain or our allies, not even the organizations we are members of, to be disrespected and that I will keep my ideas and, overall, the Spanish citizens proposals in mind."

The A350 made its arrival to Europolis International Airport, which Aguilar commented on: "when Jean-Claude retires, they should name this airport after him. If they do not, then I will do it at Spain. But I guess our dear friend deserves more recognition than an airport in Luxembourg, and Europolis seems not enough either. I am sure you have already thought about it, right Donald?" - "Not yet, Jesús, but I think I know what you are thinking about", the Spanish Councillor replied.

Both headed to the meeting, where Internal Affairs Commissioner Kevin Cotilla welcomed them, and Aguilar took pictures with him and also with Tusk. The 3 men were soon joined by a fourth, with Juncker greeting the Spanish delegation: "Kevin, Jean-Claude! It is nice to see you both again, this time in the place you belong, representing the whole of the European Union. I see nobody else has arrived, si we will wait for somebody else to show up...", Aguilar concluded.

"It's up to Elthize to decide, Oscar. I guess the ball is on your court now!", Dastis answered to his counterpart, laughing slightly immediately after.

"If Elthize wishes to become a neutral state, and has indeed remained neutral throughout its recent history, the Spanish Government nor Donald Tusk will oppose to supporting the motion. I understand you are planning to submit one by those words in the Council, am I right?", the President wondered.

"They got lost in the arrivals area of Barajas airport, Mr. President. They ended up having lunch in a restaurant", said Mario, the President's secretary today. "How on Earth did they got lost and stopped to eat somewhere in Madrid, did they not see the motorcade waiting for them?", Aguilar inquired. That apart, he called María Dolores de Cospedal and Alfonso Dastis to attend to the Salón Tapiès when the foreigners arrived.

15 minutes later, Mario advised the President to go downstairs as the delegation from Aether had entered the Palacio de la Moncloa's complex. The President did so, with the doors opening at his exit from the Consejo de Ministros' building seconds before the motorcade came to a stop. President Ribeiro Silva and Jesús shook hands and took some photos together at the Palacio's entrance, before heading to the meeting hall. Some more pictures were taken before both leaders and their guests were left alone.

Aguilar drank some water before speaking for the first time on the summit: "Mr. Ribeiro Silva, welcome to the Kingdom of Spain and, more specifically, to its capital city, Madrid. I have heard about the little incident on the airport, I know Madrid Barajas can be overwhelming sometimes. Next time I will take some pink cars to pick you up so you do not get lost - Aguilar said, laughing and obviously as a joke, in a friendly tone - Aren't motorcades usual in Aether?", he wondered.

"Of course, Spain is ready to fund half of the costs and to work in partnership with the Hellenic construction team in order to get the gas pipeline operative as soon as possible. Some estimates are speaking of a few months, so I guess the sooner we start, the sooner we will end!", Aguilar said, smiling.

"I would like to know your Government's position on a free travel agreement with Spain", Aguilar commented. Hellas was strategic when it came to travel, not only because they allowed the Eurorail to reach Inquista or other destinations through their territory, but also because they were a Spanish neighbour.

"I guess that will add a difficulty to the gas pipeline, but we will see how far this goes. Another alternative would be going through Leagio and the DU, to California and Spain, if the first one fails. More countries could benefit from the pipeline and I believe it would be cheaper than having to put a pipeline under the sea. But I will leave that up to you and your cabinet, just contact us when there are some news if you do not mind", said Aguilar.

Jesús then looked at his agenda and saw that he had run out of topics to discuss, and so he decided to tell the Elthics about this: "From my side, everything I had on my agenda has been discussed. Is there anything you would like to speak about, Mr. Grimwald? If not, I would like to invite you to sign the 'Libro de Visitas' of the Palacio de la Moncloa, where all the leaders that visit this residence sign and leave a message". The President said, giving his agenda to Dastis.
