A shot from the Conference of Altéa

July 5624

ROMULA - Minister Secretary of State Monaldi, the Crown Prince Alessandro and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Salgari returned yesterday evening from Egelion where in Altéa, the capital, they participated in the International Conference organized by the Egelian Government at the instigation of King Romulus I.

A few days ago, the vigorous speech of Prince Alessandro in defense of Istalia in response to the slanderous attacks by Deltaria and Kafuristan literally made the entire country roar. The following day the National Congress welcomed with thunderous applause the speech of the President of the Congress made to praise the fighting spirit of the heir to the Throne, political exponents and of the civil world expressed in unison their appreciation for the contemptuous and patriotic audacity of the Crown Prince.

Equally appreciated were the words of Minister Secretary Monaldi, who respecting the Government's guideline adopted last year, ignored the allegations and slander, focusing on firmly expressing Istalia's positions on the issues discussed, reiterating the loyal fidelity to the democratic values of Istalia and the country's firm opposition to authoritarian regimes and extremist ideologies, which have in fact been at the origin of the many crises and various conflicts that have shaken Terra in the last half century. Hence the adhesion to the proposal to create the Organization for Stability and Cooperation in Democratization to protect and spread democratic principles and above all to fight the spread of extremist ideologies and the emergence of regimes of this kind.

Regarding the proposal to revive the World Congress, the Minister Secretary stressed the country's opposition to any reintroduction of the old mechanisms and to the creation of organisms inevitably dominated by the great powers and exploited in the most extreme cases for the particular interests of this or that power, a proposal, coincidentally, presented by Deltaria with its proposed "Board of Regions", in essence a new Security Council as underlined by the Head of Government. The discussion essentially converged on the eternal dilemma generated by the contrast between national sovereignty and international law and although in part the positions of Istalia and Kalistan were convergent, especially on the coercive power that the new organism should have, Istalia nevertheless expressed the need to have rules and principles that for a good coexistence can justify a bending of national sovereignty, however very different from having a body that imposes coercive resolutions as happened in the past, certainly one of the factors that contributed to the growth of antipathy and disillusionment for the World Congress.

The Istalian delegation was able to leave Egelion satisfied also regarding the issue of the Solentian refugees: first of all the crisis was presented at an international level and despite the accusations of Deltaria and Kafuristan the international community understood our positions and our difficulties and there were in fact positive feedbacks in this regard: Kalistan offered to welcome some of the refugees and so did Dolgava, but even more importantly, the Government approached the Egelian Government to test the waters and see if there are possibilities for the Egelians to intervene as mediators to deal with Solentia, which Istalia considers a rogue state that gives refuge to the most dangerous Ahmadi fundamentalist organization on the planet.

Finally, excellent prospects also in terms of building new and prolific relations with other countries, and the Minister Secretary was able to state to the journalists who were waiting for her at the airport that the foundations for future economic and commercial agreements have been laid.

Therefore, Istalia's participation in the Conference bore fruit and the Istalian delegation was able to return home with several national and personal victories achieved.
