MONTELIMAR EXILES FORM NEW ORGANISATION

You must be registered for see links

Newly arrived refugees from Montelimar have today, in the city of Gâtineau in Saint-Laurent (French-speaking Europaland), announced the formation of a new organisation to be called the Front pour la libération totale de Montelimar (Front for the Total Liberation of Montelimar). The organisation, which claims to have the support of a number of left-leaning and republican organisations inside Montelimar, has, as its ultimate aim, the expelling of all Engellexic troops from Montelimar, including the unlawfully-annexed area of Flanders-Hainaut, and the overthrow of all authoritarian institutions within the country itself such as the monarchy. Montelimar, according to the FLTM, must become “a free republic built on radical, democratic principles and with respect for human rights and the rule of law”.

Prime Minister of Saint-Laurent Gabrielle Moreau spoke at the founding event, giving her support to FLTM and its struggle against the autocratic regime of Engellex: “I am proud to support you and all the people of Montelimar in your struggle for liberation. Our two nations have deep historical ties. Many of us in Saint-Laurent are descendents of people who came here from Montelimar hundreds of years ago. Today we see people from Montelimar again coming to our shores, not as victims of poverty in search of a better life but rather as refugees fleeing brutal oppression, tyranny and genocide. Here in Saint-Laurent we have listened in shock and disgust to your stories of unbearable cruelty and brutality committed by the occupation forces of Engellex. To put a stop to this we desparately need organisations like the FLTM that can stand up for the people of Montelimar and use every opportunity possible to support them in their struggle for liberation, democracy and human rights. Vive la Montelimar libre! Vive la liberté et la démocratie!”

Foreign Minister Saida Nasri also expressed support for the organisation and pledged that the government's so-called Freedom Fund will provide FLTM with enough money to establish a satellite TV channel and radio station which will be beamed to Montelimar to ensure free access to information for the people living there. The channel will highlight the atrocities committed by Engellex, inform the population about the activities of the pro-democracy resistance movement and provide a voice for all progressive forces inside and outside of Montelimar interested in ensuring a free and democratic future for the country. The Engellexic Head of State meanwhile has hit out at Europaland with the bizarre claim that refugees from Montelimar have been kidnapped and brought to the country against their will.

OTHER NEWS

Supporters of the 'Yes' side in the upcoming RDTO referendum (less than a week from now) express concern over the emergence of deep divisions within the organisation as Vangala and Jurzan mount a strong vanguardist challenge to the more libertarian-minded member states. Opponents of the RDTO in the Centre Party and Liberal Forum claim this vindicates their argument that it would be better to focus on pursuing a new military alliance open to all democratic states.

House of de Mortimer-Garland



TO THE LEADER AND SPOKESPERSON OF THE FRONT POUR LA LIBERATION TOTALE DE MONTELIMAR

In my full capacity as GUARDIAN, I EXPRESS the following on behalf of her Royal Highness;

In light of the aggressive actions undertaken by the nation-state of ENGELLEX, in full cognisance of our own precarious political position, and acknowledging our own complex relationship with the Monarchy of Montelimar;

We hereby throw the full support of the Commonwealth-in-Exile of Havenshire behind the FPLTM, and consent to provide financial and logistical support for Montelimaran expatriates, who, like ourselves, have been cruelly forced from their homeland. Although we have no millitary or political aid to speak of, we nonetheless pledge to provide what voice we can to the cause of liberty for Montelimar.

Although no doubt she will be required to attend other speaking events, both in a public and private capacity, Her Highness wishes me to express sincerely her personal delight that she will be able to present her views and personal commitment to world peace at an event of this magnitude.

We look forward to further communications.

By the Grace of GOD, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Havenshire and the Royal House of De-Mortimer Garland,

Samuel Edwinborn de Mortimer-Garland,
Regent and Prince of Havenshire

Rebecca Edwindaughter de Mortimer-Garland
Crown Princess of Havenshire and Grand Duchess of Greathamptonshire and Princess of Westhaven

 

[Europaland]

We thank the Havenshire monarchy in exile for its understanding and support for our cause. While we cannot claim to represent all the people of Montelimar politically we certainly enjoy their unequivocal backing in our efforts to bring to the world's attention the brutality of the Engellexic assault and to halt and reverse the imperialistic war against our nation. Unlike some others we envisage a republican future for Montelimar in which power lies solely with the people and is expressed through democratic institutions built upon liberal and egalitarian principles. Our immediate aim though which we are sure all Montelimaris can rally around is the national liberation of all of the territory of Montelimar and an end to the Engellexic military presence. Once this goal has been achieved we will turn our efforts to building a new consensus among the population for a free and democratic republic which will safeguard the rights and freedoms of ordinary people to a greater extent than ever before.

François Ménard,
Front pour la libération totale de Montelimar

​

Due to Europaland's blatant support of insurgent elements within Montelimar against The Empire of Great Engellex, the Grand Duchy is withdrawing her diplomatic staff from Europaland. Also, all activity along the border with Montelimar will be watched closely, and no Europaland citizens will be permitted to cross the Potenzan-Montelimar border. Any Europaland citizens found crossing into Potenza from Montelimar will be detained. The Grand Duchy will reopen diplomatic ties with Europaland when her government displays a greater sense of accountability in regards to the internal affairs of other nations.

FALL IN SUPPORT FOR NORDLAND INDEPENDENCE

You must be registered for see links

Support for the independence of Norwegian-speaking Nordland from the rest of Europaland has fallen to its lowest level in a decade according to the latest poll. The poll today found that 34% of people in Nordland support independence as opposed to 61% who oppose it, marking a big fall from the referendum 9 years ago when almost half of people voted to separate from Europaland. The nationalist Nordland Selvstendighetsparti (Nordland Independence Party) which currently governs the autonomous nation in a coalition with the Centre Party has a new referendum as part of its programme but has so far refrained from calling one due to the lack of a pro-independence majority in parliament and the decline in popular support for any potential break-up of the nation.

The main argument in support of independence is that Nordland would be better off economically seeing that its GDP per capita is a full 40% higher than the national average due in part to its oil wealth. While Nordland at the moment gets to raise and spend most of its own money in consultation with the Federal government, it must pay a large annual fee for defence and some other federally provided services and must contribute 20% of all the taxes it raises to the Federal Redistribution Fund which is then spent on all parts of Europaland in accordance with need. Since Nordland is the richest part of Europaland it gets very little of this money back. The autonomous government has also come in to conflict with the federal government over economic policy, recently proposing that 49% of the shares of Nordland-based companies could be bought by private investors, a move which federal Finance Minister Ida Jakobsen has suggested might violate the constitution.

The fall in support for independence, some have speculated, could be partly a result of the last two federal Presidents coming from Nordland and Nordlanders being represented more than any other ethnic/language group among the top positions in the cabinet. The three main federal parties have also, since the shock referendum result 9 years ago, united to try to counter the nationalist challenge by strongly emphasising a common Europalandian identity and claiming that united the country is much stronger than any of its constitutent parts. Recent threats from hostile regimes such as Engellex have also likely played a part in instilling a greater sense of unity and national pride among Europalandians of all ethnic or language groups. It is not just in Nordland but in all of the autonomous nations where recent polls have shown a decline in backing for independence.

OTHER NEWS

Only two days remain until the RDTO referendum. According to recent polls the lead for the 'yes' side has narrowed and the result could go either way.

Potenza withdraws its diplomatic staff from Europaland in protest at the nation's support for pro-democracy and anti-imperialist forces in Montelimar. According to Foreign Minister Saida Nasri the move is a clear indication that the right-wing Potenzan government has chosen to "side with the murderous regime of Engellex in its illegal war of aggression against the people of Montelimar".

BREAKING NEWS: EUROPALANDIAN NAVY TO STEP UP PRESENCE IN GREAT SEA REGION

After an emergency cabinet meeting this afternoon the government has decided there were will a significant increase in the presence of the Europalandian navy in the Great Sea region between Europaland and Havenshire, one of Europe's most important shipping channels. The move, according to Defence Minister Arne Isaksen, is in response to recent threats by hostile, non-democratic regimes and is essential to guarantee the safety of Europalandian shipping. Some civilian vessels registered in Europaland may also be accompanied by the navy even as they pass through the Strait of Cambria close to Engellex. It is feared that the unstable and autocratic regime in Dulwich may try to lash out at ships flying the Europalandian flag in response to the country's strongly worded condemnation of the Engellexic assault upon the civilian population of Montelimar.

Routine patrols of the Great Sea region will begin tomorrow with dozens of submarines, frigates, cruisers, destroyers and smaller patrol craft at the navy's disposal. Although the size of the deployment is as yet unclear, according to Arne Isaksen it will be ”sufficient enough to protect our shipping from attack and send out a clear message that Europaland will stand firm in the protection of its interests”. The air force, according to Mr Isaksen, is also being readied for any possible combat and can be called upon to assist the navy almost immediately should this be required. The move comes just 36 hours before Tuesday's referendum on RDTO membership and is at a time of rising tension with Engellex and its allies over the conflict in Montelimar. Just yesterday President Nordahl had a long written exchange with a member of the Potenzan royal family who had made a number of seemingly false claims and accusations directed at Europaland.

​

The Continental Navy and Army detachments in the Republic of Aresura have been put on increased alert following the alarming news of Europalandian military agitation in international waters. The Constitutional State will ensure that free trade will be respected, and will use any and all available assets and any and all methods it will deem necessary to enforce this policy. The Constitutional State also will step up patrols in the Green Sea and monitor the waters for any unusual traffic. The importance of the Hirosaki Conference for the future of world security has been most strongly highlighted by the latest policy announcements of Europa City, and the Constitutional State will maintain the utmost vigilance in these times of growing hostility.

Forever Free,
Arakaki Kenji
Minister of Revolutionary Defense and Foreign Affairs

 

[Havenshire]

The People's Republic of Havenshire strongly condemns this aggressive mass deployment in the Great Sea by Europaland. Whilst they may fear for their shipping, we likewise fear for the stability and security of our own commercial routes, especially with an increase in millitary traffic impeding the free flow of co-operative commerce. Whilst we understand Europaland's concerns, we frankly must insist that they recall their naval forces and try to settle their problems not with aggressive or radical displays of strength, especially ones that could hinder the flow of trade and good relations with its allies.

We especially ask that, if Europaland truly intends to join the RDTO, it consult its friends, especially us, before threatening such a large escalation in tensions in this region.

Julia Amberhall-Sharp,
Ambassador to Europaland,
People's Republic of Havenshire

 

[Europaland]

I can assure Touzen that there is no need for concern over either the safety of its shipping or the security of Aresura. It is just as much in Europaland's interests that world trade routes continue unhindered and our navy will treat civilian shipping from any nation as it would our own. This deployment is purely a defensive measure and if anything will serve to improve the security of all shipping passing through the Great Sea. Europaland, as always, takes its responsibilities in the Great Sea seriously and will not do anything contrary to the interests of a stable, secure and peaceful region.

To Havenshire I would like to make clear that we very much value it as a key partner in the region and will be happy to consult with the Havenite government in the days and weeks ahead. I must reject however the notion that our deployment is in any way an aggressive act, rather it is a vital defensive measure at a time when autocratic regimes such as Engellex are stepping up their threats and hostile rhetoric against our nation. We do not intend to withdraw the deployment any time soon but of course if the situation shows signs of improvement we will reevaluate our decision.

Defence Minister of Europaland

DULWICH, TUESDAY, 7th FEBRUARY 2012

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the Princes, and Chiefs of the State of Europaland.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE PRINCES, AND CHIEFS OF THE STATE OF EUROPALAND​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

That it would seem that in addition to the absence of respect so colourfully conveyed by the Foreign Ministry of Europaland when addressing the subjects of disagreement now in agitation between Great Engellex and Europaland, her Majesty the Queen-Empress was compelled to officially inform the Imperial Parliament in Dulwich of the intention of Europaland to publically sponsor – politically and financially – a terrorist organisation to operate within the Empire and Montelimar; that news, of course, was quite overshadowed by the declared intent of the regime to escalate tensions within the Great Sea considerably beyond what can be accepted by those states who rely on that ocean for their trade.

The two intentions, should they be carried into execution, will prove in the highest degree detrimental to the maritime trade of the Great Sea and all hope of peace being realised in the Occident. For it can be guaranteed, without any doubt, that her Majesty and the Imperial Parliament will, in the case of execution, be compelled to respond to the deplorable aggression of the Europalandian regime with military force.

It is sincerely hoped that the regime in Europa City can be moved away from this destructive path; Europaland is isolated, has no committed partners to speak of, immersed within its own social and political problems, and as such the hazard will be all yours.

If Europaland does not trust in the sincerity of my words to abandon this folly it can, however, trust in the determination of Great Engellex to repel the ideological ambition of Europaland, pursued through terrorism, and in the destruction of warships belonging to the regime's navy should they attempt to penetrate exclusive zone,s soon to be established, or imperial waters.

Her Majesty and the Cabinet will be consulting with regional partners, with urgency, to establish necessary co-operation between the Royal Engellexic Navy and those of the civilised west.

By the Grace of GOD, of the EMPIRE of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

​

 

[Europaland]

Europaland will not allow itself to be intimidated by such idle threats and we respectfully ask Engellex to avoid contributing to further international hostility and alarm with its aggressive and bombastic rhetoric. Europaland, unlike Engellex, has never adopted terrorist tactics or resorted to sponsoring terrorism overseas. What we have done, and make no apologies for doing, is to stand up as a beacon of freedom, democracy and respect for human rights in a world dominated by dictators and autocrats. As for our naval deployment we have already made clear that it is purely a defensive measure and will do nothing to restrict global trade routes. What our navy does in international waters is no business of the Engellexic government and we will consider any attempts to interfere with its activities as an act of war. We hope for the sake of Engellex and the whole of Europe that its government refrains from going down such a dangerous path.

Arne Isaksen,
Defence Minister of Europaland

DULWICH, TUESDAY, 7th FEBRUARY 2012

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the Princes, and Chiefs of the State of Europaland.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE PRINCES, AND CHIEFS OF THE STATE OF EUROPALAND​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

It should be understood that the Northern Department, and all ministries of Great Engellex, are quite beyond the reach of Europalandian propaganda efforts and, therefore, it is quite unnecessary for the Europalandian Government to insist on maintaining the ideological theatrics that it does so impressively.

Neither her Majesty nor the Imperial Parliament can claim puppet mastery over the states of Europe, it is that fact which Great Engellex invests much faith in as Europe can, and does, see through the deplorable tirades and unfounded accusations of the unstable and erratic Europalandian regime.

It was Europaland, not Engellex, who initiated hostilities with stupendous claims and intolerable rhetoric.

As it was Europaland, not Engellex, that now sponsors terrorist organisations around Europe – one of which was formed by Europaland to operate against Great Engellex.

I shall urge, one last time, for Europaland to withdraw the intent to deploy warships against Engellexic vessels and withdraw state sponsorship of terrorism against the Empire.

The Empire of Great Engellex has endured much enmity from Europaland, and while uninterested in a violent confrontation, if Europaland moves to directly target Engellexic interests and Crown Subjects, will be forced to respond. The possibility of war remains entirely within the determination of Europa City.

No further statement will be made.

By the Grace of GOD, of the EMPIRE of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

REFERENDUM SPECIAL: 'YES' TO RDTO BY TINIEST OF MARGINS

Yes: 50.08% - 35,912,787 votes
No: 49.92% - 35,798,050 votes
Turnout: 89.6%

With 100% of the votes now counted in the RDTO referendum Europalandians have voted by the tiniest of margins in favour of the country applying for full membership within the organisation. Only around 100,000 votes out of the almost 72 million cast separate the two sides, making it the closest referendum result in the nation's history. As is typical of all elections in Europaland turnout was extremely high at almost 90% and the day was made a public holiday across the nation. Following the official announcement of results by the Electoral Commission of Europaland the 'no' side accepted defeat and has decided not to demand a recount considering that no irregularities were reported. Centre Party leader Jacques Laurent who was a leading figure in the 'no' campaign has described the outcome as ”a step in the wrong direction for a country in which only around half of the population support the revolutionary, far-left ideals upon which the RDTO is based”.

Opposition to the RDTO was expressed also among some sections of the radical left. The recent condemnation of Europaland's naval deployment by Havenshire and the calls from Carentania for Foreign Minister Saida Nasri to step down have, for some, brought the usefulness of the RDTO as an ally into question. The presence of authoritarian countries such as Vangala in the organisation has also proven upsetting for the libertarian sensiblities of many Europalandians. The governing coalition nevertheless went to great lengths to argue in support of RDTO membership and most polls before the vote were showing a small majority in favour. The closeness of the final result will perhaps lead some to question the legitimacy of Europaland joining but it appears that the government intends to go ahead with an imminent membership application.

President Nordahl, speaking to the nation less than an hour ago, acknowledged that the result was ”unbelievably close” and spoke of the need to ”listen to all sides and points of view as we move forward with developing a foreign and defence policy which works in the interests of a secure, peaceful and prosperous Europaland and of a world in which all human beings can live together as equals in a spirit of solidarity and respect”. According to Ms Nordahl ”a mandate exists, if albeit a small one, to pursue membership in the RDTO, an organisation which, despite its difficulties, has played an important role in the pursuit of peace and security in a troubled region”. Europaland, according to the President, is ”ready to play its part in the alliance and to work, as it always has, for a better Europe in cooperation with our comrades and allies”.

OTHER NEWS

Massive show of strength by Europaland's navy throughout Great Sea region with one naval vessel sighted as far away as the Strait of Cambria as it apparently accompanied a Europalandian commercial ship. Former Defence Minister Joëlle Dubois of the Centre Party has described the move as ”excessive” and it has received condemnation from both Touzen and Havenshire.

 

[Havenshire]

We regret to state that if Europaland continues its excessive displays of naval might, this will impact negatively on our current relations, hurt our mutual trade interests, and we formally caution Europaland against further acts of provocation, or it will not enjoy our support for membership in the RDTO.

Julia Amberhall-Sharp
Ambassador to Europaland,
People's Republic of Havenshire

 

[Europaland]

I can assure Havenshire that Europaland does not take such steps lightly and it is only because we believe a credible threat exists that our navy has been deployed in such a way. I suggest moreover that Havenshire might feel differently were it subjected to the same threats and hostile rhetoric Europaland has had to endure in recent weeks. While valuing the role played by the RDTO and wishing for the success of our application Europaland can and will take the steps needed on its own to protect our interests in these difficult times.

Defence Minister of Europaland

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the Princes, and Chiefs of the State of Europaland.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE PRINCES, AND CHIEFS OF THE STATE OF EUROPALAND​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

If the Government of Europaland conceives that it has some motives for carrying hostility against Great Engellex beyond all reasonable limits, that is genuine intelligence and not propaganda induced accusations, then it is encouraged to express those motives immediately.

Unfortunately matters have now reached a stage, entirely by the energies and enthusiasm of Europa City as her Majesty the Queen-Empress and her Ministers provided many opportunities, and still do, to restore calm, that in consequence of the direct and deliberate intent of the Europalandian Government to assault the interests and people of the Imperial Crown of Great Engellex, her Majesty, the Queen-Empress, upon advice of the Council of State, has instructed me to deliver this ultimatum to Europaland.

Withdraw your warships from the Northern Great Sea – ESPECIALLY the Strait of Cambria and west of the Hessex Bight, within twenty-four hours or the Royal Engellexic Navy will be compelled to act on orders to demand the withdrawal of Europalandian warships, else they be fired upon.

Her Majesty the Queen-Empress calls upon European States to intervene in this crisis and prevent the instability of the Great Sea, which the state of Europaland is certainly committed to achieve.

By the Grace of GOD, of the EMPIRE of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

​

 

[Europaland]

The aggressive behaviour of the Dulwich regime in recent years needs not be explained for it has been clear for anyone to see. The threats and hostile rhetoric we have seen emanating from Dulwich therefore required to be taken seriously. Our navy, like that of every other country, has the right to sail wherever it wants within international waters and will not give in to demands from Engellex or any other nation. That said our current large-scale deployment is costly for our nation and will not continue beyond that time when it is deemed necessary to protect our vital economic and national security interests. As such we hope to be able to pull back our naval vessels closer to Europalandian waters in the days and weeks ahead. To that end we request an assurance from Dulwich that all of our commercial ships sailing through the Strait of Cambria or anywhere else for that matter will be safe from attack. Should that assurance be given we will consider pulling out of the Strait of Cambria and withdrawing our vessels from all areas north-east of Havenshire. Naturally any future attacks on Europalandian commercial shipping will be met with the full force of our army, navy and air force.

We view the escalations between Europaland and Great Engellex as unnecessary and contrary to peaceful relations between the two nations. We urge both sides to seek peaceful resolution and are prepared to arbitrate between both sides. In the meantime, and with immediate effect, we shall be deploying three frigates to the region to monitor events and report findings back to Christiansborg.

 

[Europaland]

Europaland welcomes the offer by Danmark to mediate between the two sides and we hope this crisis can be resolved successfully in the interests of world peace. We are, I must point out, still waiting for the assurances we require from Engellex but are perfectly willing to scale back our deployment should it prove no longer necessary to maintain such a large presence in the Great Sea.

DULWICH, THURSDAY, 9th FEBRUARY 2012

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the Princes, and Chiefs of the State of Europaland.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE PRINCES, AND CHIEFS OF THE STATE OF EUROPALAND​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

While hopeful at the apparent realisation within Europa City on the unnecessary and very dangerous escalation, we must insist on the ultimatum made earlier.

Great Engellex did not extend an invitation for Europaland to consider scaling back deployments as our demand was very clear and remains the same.

Europaland, within the twenty-four hours allocated, must decide to withdraw her warships from the areas deemed necessary or face the responsibility of igniting a violent naval conflict within the Great Sea. Your regime refused to negotiate the ceasation of the tensions on earlier opportunities and now does not have that luxury; no compromise can be made, your warships are demanded to leave those areas of conflict with urgency.

As for assurances, those can be extended when necessary. The Royal Engellexic Navy has never made target of mercantile or civilian traffic, even belonging to the European Defence Federation, in respect of that fact we will decline pandering to propaganda-ministeries of Europaland as the present situation is no game but rather a very serious situation.

I implore the Europalandian regime to appreciate the gravity of this circumstance and respond with due care and reason. Similarly I must object to the Danish suggestion of deploying its own warships as it is the policy of her Majesty the Queen-Empress to discourage military activity within the Great Sea as much as possible.

By the Grace of GOD, of the EMPIRE of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​
