Gaduridos

Gaduridos condemns Likatonian Alliance with Kundrati; Concerns over regional stability, neutrality, democracy and balance of power cited.

The recent news of Likatonia and Kundrati forming a military alliance has been met with anger and dismay in not only Los Altos but across the country. With the Royal Congress abuzz with hundreds of voices calling for a variety of responses, with some wanting to enact an embargo on Kundrati and Likatonia, others wanting a united response with the rest of the Empire, and anything else in between extremes. With more nations condemning the fascist state in Kundrati, Likatonia has broken that trend and has actually not only aligned with Kundrati but even formed a military alliance with them. With many viewing this as legitimizing the fascist regime in Kundrati, arguably Likatonia has become an associate to fascism. With the memory of the 20s only being reinforced, many Gaduri have called for something to be done to respond to fascism finding an ally in Seleya.

To that end, Los Altos has finally broken its silence as Prime Minister Victoria Montenegro has broken silence.

I want to start off with saying this. Likatonia has done something awful. They haven't just threatened the balance of power in Seleya. They haven't threaten the continents neutrality, no. They have legitimized a fascist state. They have allied and befriended with a fascist state. I have received many calls and many, many letters to my office with suggestions on how to handle Likatonia. Embargos, sanctions, rejecting them from the SEC. Yes, these are strong measures but what Likatonia has done was no mistake. You do not mistakenly befriend a fascist. As of today, all diplomats in Likatonia will be recalled. Any Likatonian diplomats will be expelled as well. Some may call this too drastic, or too light. But I call it necessary for Seleya. Alongside these measures, in the coming days, I will discuss with Congress on sanctions for Kundrati and Likatonia. They have endangered not only democracy, but the neutrality and safety of Northern Seleya.

While some may argue that sanctions will threaten Gaduri Neutrality, others argue that it is already under threat with fascism entering Northern Seleya. As such, most are supportive of the efforts by Prime Minister Montenegro. For the first time, in a long time, Gaduridos has condemned a nation. The actions of the Montenegro Administration have found widespread approval in Gaduridos, irregardless of if you are Reform, Radical or Social Democratic. As such, approval ratings are remaining high and it may just benefit the PSSG next year.
