King's Christmas speech
The King has given today the traditional Christmas speech. It is the fifth Christmas Speech given by King Mael Coluim V and the analysts have already described it as continuing the traditionalist approach of his father, King Crisdean II. The King payed homage to the workers of Caledonia which are developing the country, especially in the mormaerdoms of Maetia and Votadinia, in the frigid north, while also criticizing populist leaders, even attacking Donna Trumm.
The King has started his speech by first thanking the Caledonian people for the efforts they have done in their day to day jobs. It was followed by an homage to the victims first of the National-Syndicalist dictatorship and then of communism. The speech ended with a criticism of populist leaders which turn the people against their nature, giving Donna Trumm as an example of such a leader, considering her belligerent discourse. The King ended his speech urging the people to not forget the traits of a good christian and called the people to prayer.
"It is in those times, that the people's minds are vulnerable to charismatic leaders, many of whom speak in such a way that the crowds are absorbing every single word they say and begin to follow them. Such leaders, that promise the world, and even the Moon to the people are the ones that we must be caution of. They are the ones that will be the ordering thousands to their deaths as they have done so many times in history. Let us not forget the heroes of the Nordic Revolt of 1957 and their sacrifice. Let us not forget how easy it was later for National-Syndicalist leaders to take over the state during the reign of my grandfather, Eanruig II, just by promising the people salvation from communism. Let us then be weary of the politicians with big words, like the Implarian Social Republican Donna Trumm. Sometimes, the dog bites as hard as it barks," stated King Mael Coluim.
