New Hope Initiative cut off for Utaristan as Xsampa pulls back aid; "We will not support a social fascist state, nor provide comfort", says Foreign Commissar.

Ever since the CPX reaffirmed it's opposition to authoritarianism, many across the country, and most especially within the government have questioned how this will reflect foreign policy. This week, we got our answer as the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs formally announced that all New Hope Initiative aid to Utaristan will fully cease in entirety indefinitely, and will not be considered for restoration. Diplomatic channels have been kept, but only for the most basic channels. The People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, comrade Kelden Beaulieu had the following to say.

Prior to the Custodian Crisis, we had our disagreements with Utaristan, but ultimately we supported them in the name of socialist internationalism. Once Utaristan not only immediately recognized the illegal coup, and supported it but also denounced the victory of the Proletariat over the Custodian and refused to recognize the victory, it's become abundantly clear that we cannot maintain positive relations with Utaristan. We will not support a social fascist state, nor provide comfort. Reaction wearing red is not a vehicle for the working class, it is a serpent. Basic diplomatic channels will be maintained, and active talks are being considered on ceasing trade with Utaristan, particularly over REMs, but at the moment, trade shall continue in its current form until further notice. It doesn't help the case for Utaristan that they currently continue to house Dramuktsang in exile and recognize his authority.

While there is support for cutting all trade with Utaristan, moderates have raised the issue that doing so would harm the Red-Green Revolution, as it significantly requires a lot of REMs and Utaristan is a key producer of REMs in Dovani. And the argument has given the Tselha Administration reason to consider and debate internally. But, fully ejecting Utaristan from the New Hope Initiative was a quick given. When asked about the recent recalling of Kalistani diplomats, the PCFA stated that it is currently watching the situation closely, and that if dialogue with Kalistan fails, or relations do deteriorate, then existing trade may be put into question.

Whatever the case, it's clear that the Tselha Administration is focusing on Utaristan, and is looking at the wider Dovani continent with a renewed interest, most especially after the Custodian Crisis. Where the Dovani Union plays into this however, is yet to be seen but what's certain is that while the CPX is ambivalent towards the DU, it will most certainly attempt to use whatever leverage Xsampa has in the DU to counter Utaristan and authoritarianism in Dovani.

Today's Quote of The Day; "Beware always those who would be despots, under the false presumption that their desires and agendas are somehow more imperative than those of their fellows. A society that does not see to the needs and rights of all of its members is not a society. It is a crime!"
