This therefore means that there is a state but the shadow government is absent until new elections have concluded. In addition, this means that Istkalen isn't stateless and still exists. There only isn't a shadow government that represents the people for the J-TAI. I am also informed that currently negotiations are underway for the formation of a joint government with the new Republic of Istkalen.

Who gave the Commission this power? It isn't the Constitution, that is certain. It is you and you alone! Even though this involves a state which I no longer have any connection to, this is evil and insane!

Iras Tilkanas
Interim Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen

Tilkanas, I think you don't really understand that Istkalen has ceased to exist, and you just need to look to the Instrument of Surrender, which under my reading gives the occupying forces, in this case, Reitzmag and Vayinaod; the power to abolish the State of Istkalen, which by the way, happened. That means Istkalen is not a country, therefore it can be a member of the European Union, so then they cannot have a Councillor. This is not about Mr. Juncker, the campaign or whatever you want to, it is about legal stuff. The European Commission is the only competent office to decide on how Istkalen should be regarded, while the Council should ratify that view. Meanwhile, it is not illegal to strip that people from their citizenship, because Istkalen doesn't exist, so they are stateless.

It is illegal to unilaterally strip millions of people of their citizenship. Are you so obsessed with Mr. Juncker that you are trying to block others from campaigning against him?

If this continues, we may have to secede our territory again as to reform Istkalen. I will also ask for an extension.

Iras Tilkanas
Representative of the Republic of Istkalen

Trympov, just before I introduce an amendment to this bill, I want to remember you about something you seem not to understand: Mr. Juncker didn't say he would throw Atty. Winston off a balcony, but answering the question "What else could we expect about you?", he said: 'Joining the balconing team in Ibiza, but this time without a Parachute with you.' Also Ms. Yahontov, if you want to propose any guest to come here and explain what the Joint Transitional Authority for Istkalen thinks, please tell us a name and we will work to bring the person here as soon as possible.

But, as of now, here's my amendment:

SECTION I

II. Anyone who was a citizen of the Republic of Istkalen on May 26th, 2021 may not nominate themselves as a candidate for election to the European Commission and the European Court of Justice until the European Commission reaches a conclusion concerning the current status of Istkalen within the European Union. and if elected, may serve in the role to which they have been elected.

The Constitution says, "Commissioners do not represent nor are they related to any government of any member state of the European Union". OK? And this is about Commissioners, the bill doesn't say we should have a councillor from Istkalen. In fact, it says here, "This Act does not constitute recognition of the right of Istkalen to representation on the European Council."

All we are doing is saying if someone wants to represent the European Union, and they're from Istkalen, then the actions of the J-TAI shouldn't stop that. This isn't the medieval warm period any more, Benfield, we don't stop people standing for election because of a conquest, or a war.

I mean, you should have seen this guy, folks. All the time he's been reading these graphs, going up, going down, climate and temperatures, and I don't know. The only temperature he knows about is that the Globalists have gone cold. The only graph he knows about is that the Globalists' support is going down. You could even say it's going down like a hockey stick.

So folks, if you're not scared of a little opposition, and you don't want the Reitzmic army going around stopping anyone you don't like from running for Commission, then you have got to vote for this bill. That's all it is, folks. That's all it is.
