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.

Internal Affairs Commissioner

Statement - Thank you Europe, and Goodbye - 20th February 2021

Today, it is a very nostalgic day for me. For the 1st time in 8 months, I'm leaving this office for not coming back for, at least, 4 months. And on my final statement, I wanted to address you, the Europeans, to thank you for all your support and saying goobye. It's been a pleasure to work along such a professional team like the one I have got in my journey as Internal Affairs Commissioner, to receive your letters, read them and answer them, to meet you in person, to be close to you, listen to your problems, along with many other things we have done during these 2 consequtive terms.

But, if there was something that needs to be kept on everyone's mind, that's the new European Union that the next Internal Affairs Commissioner will found. Today, I'm proud to say that I'm leaving a much better Europe than the one I found back in 2020. And even if we are now going through hard times (my thoughts are with those affected by the terror attacks and the families suffering in the Union of Syndicates), we need to be strong, united and fight this situation with agreements, diplomacy, peace and those values that represent the European Union and those I have tried to represent all over the region with my own principles. I would also like to thank the million of Europeans that, day per day, trust on this huge and amazing project which is the European Union. With no doubt, those are the ones that make this Union possible, because I'm just a civil servant. Without such a team and the million of Europeans, we politicians, would do nothing.

I have faced many challenges, such as the Eastern Haane's war and intervention, many diplomatic crisis and more things you all know and I think it's not needed to remember. I want to address those tempted to leave the European Union because of certain decisions: Threatening the European Union won't work if you want your opinions to be supported, leaving the European Union is a mistake many want to do but then, what's next? And even if I respect their choices and opinions, they should also think on the million of Europeans that travel to their country, that work on their nation and see how some people with power say there wouldn't be another choice but leaving the region. And now, I wanted to have some special words for the Angleterics, which weren't the ones I was addresing a few words ago: I will be here to support whatever choice you do, and so I told Mr. Isla. Angleter has been in the European Union for a lot of time, and has gained enough rights to decide their future on this union. And even if I wish they stay, that's up to you, and I ask you to think properly about your choice.

But, apart from that, we have reached many achievements: We have seen the Eurorail actually working, we have created and developed many plans from the Internal Affairs Commission and we have set the pillars for a Green Deal. But, the most important thing, is that we have got an active Commission for Internal Affairs, which has always been involved in the many affairs that took place on Europe and has been there when needed.

Because of all of this, I want to thank you for your constant support and your cooperation with me. It's been a pleasure to serve you, to serve the civil servants in the Commission, and to serve the region I love. I wish the best of luck to the next Internal Affairs Commissioner, because her luck will be our luck. Thank you, and I hope to be back very soon.

JUNCKER CONFIRMS HE WILL RUN FOR PREMIER COMMISSIONER

The whole of Europe loves him, and now he wants to go a step further

When Juncker was forced to leave the European Commission because of term limits, he published a book called "I'll come back", in which he said he wanted to run for Premier Commissioner if the European Progressive Alliance allowed him to do so and if he thought he was still able to be the European Union's most powerful man. Yesterday evening, his press team announced that a very important press conference would be taking place this morning in Europolis. The main reason of summoning the press: an important announcement from Jean-Claude Juncker referring the European Commission Elections which are coming as soon as the month ends. Just a few minutes after Dr. Walter Cocx released his statement saying he would not rerun for Premier Commissioner, Juncker appeared on the press conference room alone, with no papers.

"Good morning and thank you for coming, I really appreciate you still pay attention to this old man"; said Juncker, making the journalists there laugh for some seconds along with him. The press conference, which seemed to be done in order to present the 2nd part of his memories (mostly every journalist there had carried the book to get a sign from the former Commissioner and now candidate for Premier), suddenly changed to a political atmosphere, with the foreign media writing fast to their bosses to announce what was a matter of minutes to be announced. Everyone competiting to be the first news channel to publish such an announcement from the former Internal Affairs Commissioner, but they all wanted to confirm if he was going to run under the Eeuropean Progressive Alliance umbrella.

"If you have read my book, you will all know what I am doing here this morning; while if you haven't, you will have to wait a few more minutes to discover what's going on, but don't worry, there will be autographs for everyone." Juncker said, before getting into the main matter: "As you might now, I was born to be a public servant: during all my life, I've served my region, my autonomous community, my country and I have served Europe. Some said I should run for Councillor and Donald (Tusk) should run for Commission, but I didn't want to do the most dangerous job in the European Union, nor I wanted him to lose all of his progress. And neither does him, don't you Donald?" Asked Juncker to the Spanish Councillor, who was seated just in front of the Premier Commission candidate. Tusk started to laugh and denied he wanted to run for Commission with his finger.

After that, Juncker kept on going: "So, that's why today I have decided to announce my candidacy to become the next European Union's Premier Commissioner. This hasn't been a difficult decision, but an easy one: I will always serve Europe, until the very end. I will run along with the European Progressive Alliance, and all that I can anticipate is that I'm going to put forward a very diverse platform, that can host people from any country of Europe. The rest will just remain secret until the campaign starts. But my message remains the same: Europe needs to forget about the fascists versus communists battles, and has to work towards integration and solidarity. I also want to wish the best of luck to Mr. Cocx, who has recently announced he won't run for re-election. Even if I disagree with him on some things, like the Sanctioning Powers Act, he deserves the best treatment from a former Commissioner and a Commission candidate."

Finally, Juncker answered some journalists' questions, signed autographs and left the room where the news were announced. We all know a massive part of the European Union's citizens love him, as we all know Jean-Claude Juncker doesn't do this to gain power, but to do a better Europe in his opinion (many agree, some doesn't). Will he be able to win Europe's most powerful place, or will he be defeated? Just a month left to discover if he becomes Premier Commissioner, to discover if Juncker comes back.

The European Progressive Alliance changes its logotype and adds an Eurogroup anthem

The new European Progressive Alliance logotypes

The European Progressive Alliance has started its renewing process after the defeat on the Premier Commissioner race by the Party of the European Left. The first steps of Donald Tusk in this post-Juncker defeat era have been done have been given; and the EPA has decided to change its logotype and add a new anthem. The logotypes, made by an art study on Ibiza, are different to each other: 2 of them have the famous "EPA horse" without any boundary, one of them has the horse inside a circle and the last one misses the horse and puts a heart and some stars (mostly inspired from the European flag) on it.

Apart from these logos, the European Progressive Alliance chairman, Donald Tusk, had ordered the composition of an "EPA Eurogroup anthem" to the Nicoleizian composer Eric Tijnaus. This is a pioneering idea when it comes to Eurogroups, unless you count the Socialist International song as the Party of the European Left anthem. This composition is being used on the EPA main acts, as well as in some adverts from the Eurogroup in the future Commission elections.

In words of Donald Tusk, he says the European Progressive Alliance "needed some sort of update, and this is the first step towards a new EPA"; but it is not what he wants to fix at all. "Renewing the EPA is not about the horse or how we are called, but about the policy we do in the Council, how we focus towards the challenges of the EU and how we adapt to the changes that take place every day. The logos are just a way to modernize the party a little bit." But we will see if the logos work for them.

Jesús Aguilar
Presidente del Gobierno

My fellow Europeans,

Dark days are coming to Europe. The situation in Eastern Haane gets worse by moments. Thousands of innocents have been killed, and meanwhile others fight for their freedom and their lives with hope. The European Union and myself, as the Internal Affairs Commissioner, won't allow more lives to be lost. The European Commission will always side with those defending democracy, freedom and will try to help as much as possible.

Tomorrow, I'll be submitting a request to the Council in which I'll ask for permission to deploy the European Relief Force once most of the conflict is gone. Meanwhile, my bid is on cooperation between the different European armies and coordination leaded by the chief of operations of each army taking part on the conflict plus the European Institutions. Lives will be lost, I'm afraid, but we can't afford this conflict anymore. We will be on the need of cooperation by every European nation, and not act like selfish nations which just spend their time on criticizing the European Commission instead of suggesting, adding new points of view to the discussion that is going on at the Council right now.

Europe is able to cooperate, I'm sure about that. But now, we need to proof that statements like these are true. As Internal Affairs Commissioner, I'm responsible of peace keeping, of helping nations. Eastern Haane needs help again, and I'm not going to ignore those requests.

And now, I would like to dedicate some of my words to the Eastern Haaneans:

You are now going through the worst days in your lives. You might have lost some members of your families, you are seeing how your nation is falling apart. But the European Union, specially the Commission and the Council, won't let you fall apart. Europe will stand with you, the ones that are fighting for freedom and democracy, and with the innocent people like your neighbours or yourselves, that are scared of being killed as part of the bloodbaths taking place. I know what you are siffering, not able to eat a thing because there's no food, not able to drink some water because it's contaminated, not able to go to the park with your friends or children because the park is on fire or you could be killed while walking on the streets.

But you can't be confused. This is not something God has done, but the people that ruled your country. They are responsible of the damage, of the deaths of thousands of Eastern Haaneans like you. Europe will not forgive, will not forget those who made you suffer, but will stand with you whenever you need. This Commissioner, and his Commission mates, Ms. Merkel and Mr. Reynels, are here to help, along with all the Councillors.

We trust on you, we are not letting you apart. Help is on the way, and we will start to take part as soon as possible. And remember, Europe is here to help. I'll be sending my prayers to those in conflict, in the front or running away from that hell that your country must be right now.

My best wishes and my full support,

Jean-Claude Juncker
Internal Affairs Commissioner

Joint Statement between the Governments of the Kingdom of Spain, the Empire of Inimicus and the Confederal Government of North Diessen

The Governments of the Empire of Inimicus and the Kingdom of Spain today met in Telum, and following communication with the Confederal Government of North Diessen in Het Goor, have come to the following resolution:

• The undersigned representatives of national governments note the exponential increase inseemingly politically motivated arrests taking place inside the United Duchies, and the swiftdecrease in active left-wing opposition activity. The undersigned representatives convened outof concern for political freedoms in the United Duchies, and are united in their stance to protectthose freedoms.
• While the Treaty of Telum, by which the undersigned representatives and the United Duchiesare bound in friendship and military bond, does not mandate the adoption of political values orbeliefs, the undersigned representatives hold that the direction the United Duchies governmenthas taken in recent weeks is counterproductive to the common interests of the signatories ofthe Treaty of Telum.
• The undersigned representatives call upon the United Duchies government to maintainstability and free political discourse throughout their territory. Although the undersignedrepresentatives bear no ill will towards the United Duchies government, we hope this jointstatement is considered for what it is, a severe and serious warning.
