La Conferencia de Altéa

[hyraemous]

[...]
I hear nations like Extea pleading for help, hoping that their people might be saved from their suffering. While our Empire is willing to aid and aleviate the greatest suffering, we believe the government of Extea should do what it can to prove to us, to Terra, that it is worthy of all other support. Rogue regimes like the occupiers of Quanzar and Alaria hold grand speeches in this chamber about their desire to reenter the international community but at the same time call for the deportation of 500.000 innocent refugees. Where is the compassion? Where is humanity? My government will warn this regime that if it seeks to harm innocent refugees, we shall enact sanctions on its new and illegitimate government and do what we can to protect innocent lifes.

Elagabalo Narbeburu, Defense Minister of the Kundrati Union

Your Majesty. I would like to respond to your statement.

Those nations you say, the Quanzars and Alarians, who call for the deportation of half a million people. If I may add something, they have a population of more than two million. If we were to do anything like that, a deportation of that many people, it would cripple what economy we still have. The fascist bandits wouldn't accept them, neither would Luthori, neither would Endralon or Ikradon. So where can we deport them? We need as many people as we can to rebuild and to reestablish an economy, so we can't afford to do that. And we have an open door policy on immigration to encourage people to come to our country if they wish.

Of course, I agree that the victims of fascism, those who are vunerable, they should be given the love they deserve. The aid they deserve. They must be able to stand up on their own two feet and do their part. And the Kundrati Union is willing to do our part in the global war against fascism. We have that history of fighting extremism, most notably in Badara. My colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development is more than willing to send a diplomatic team to talk to your advisors and your Government on how we can work together on this matter.

As I have said in my speech earlier, we risk being swallowed up by fascists. When you are in a difficult situation, it is very easy to give up. Lay down, let them have it, so easy to die. It's easy! But who will win from that? I die, my family mourns, society doesn't get anything out of it. But if we get the chance to build back better? If we put in that work? It will be much harder and it will take longer for entire societies and nations to, sure, but it can be done.

We can do our part, yes, and we have to. We have that obligation. But I hope that we don't get swallowed up in the end.

Thank you, Your Majesty, fellow delegates. I have no comment on this time on the proposals regarding the World Congress.
