Government responds to Gothic Sea Piracy Crisis
Valls, Ebria
Prime Minister Pedro Herrera has announced that the United Kingdom of Ebria, Nuoria and Hamrun will respond to the Gothic Sea Piracy Crisis through a thoroughful condemnation of Gutharike-Lethonia for the state sponsoring of piracy actions, and also of the Tsardom of Tarusa for escalating the tensions in the Gothic Sea, the first for full on using their navy for illegal piracy actions and the latter for allegedly attacking a submarine which was hunting pirates, thus defending indirectly the piracy actions.
The government of Ebria has announced that it will completely end the representation of Gutharike-Lethonia in Valls and will recall its ambassador from there and will fully see from now on Jysken-Ostveg as the sole successor of the Scanlaw, with special recognition of Metsamaa and the Hansa as a fully independent state of "especially cordial relationship to the United Kingdom". At the same time, the government condemned the escalation in the Gothic Sea, and while not responding as harsh to Tarusa as it did to Gutharike, the Tarusan ambassador to Valls was called into a meeting with the government to explain the recent actions of Tarusa. It is as of yet undecided if the government will take any more actions against Tarusa or not at the moment.
Regarding trade on the Gothic Sea, the government stated that the only way it will aid shipping companies will be if they will avoid the Gothic Sea by using the west coast ports of the Holy Frankish Empire and Jysken-Ostveg, along the Thaumantic and then continue by rail, so as to avoid the Gothic Sea. It is expected that this will reduce the trade between Ebria and Ostmark and Tarusa respectively, by more than 75%, especially if the crisis is set to continue. The government is currently taking a stance of shy support towards the Holy Frankish Empire, stating that it supports its policing actions, but certain statements of the minister of foreign affairs, Mateo Restrepo show that the United Kingdom would have preferred a joint response. As of yet, the government is waiting on the Frankish actions and results, with el señor Restrepo taking a cynical approach, believing they won't be efficient, while el señor Herrera is taking a more optimistic one.

OPINION POLL UPDATE FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION: The recent Gothic Sea Piracy Crisis has given a great impulse to the National Front, against the Popular Front, giving the right wing alliance the first great chance to govern and dominate the politics of Ebria for the first time in 15 years. The parties of the National Front sum up together 55% of the voting intention, while the Popular Front only 40%, with 5% still undecided or voting for parties outside the two fronts, such as the National-Corporatist Party or the Communist Party of Ebria.
