Parti Conservateur Libertaire (Lourenne) Representative; M. Quetzalcoatl Tzamá
Honourable Representatives, Officials, and Parties of Rildanor, Kanjor, Alduria and Lourenne,
Firstly, may I extend my thanks to the Government of Rildanor for creating this important conference. It is imperative that we remain strong allies, regardless of the outcome of this conference, and talking to each other can only help boost our links. I would also like to thank my President, Mme. Éloise Duval. I fully appreciate that her party and mine has never particularly seen eye to eye, and I am grateful that she has granted us an opportunity to make our opinion heard at this conference.
In spite of what our President said, the PCL can confirm that it would support a unification of l'État Canrillaise, and would attempt to join it, should we reenter the cabinet of Lourenne. Though we would support our President's ruling when negotiations between our nations take place, and would make no action whilst in opposition, we give our guarantee that as soon as we can collect enough support within l'Assemblée Nationale we shall instigate the process to join the unification. It must be said however, that we would expect a greater autonomy for Lourenne within this État Canrillaise. We understand the importance of togetherness, but must stress the different factors that must be regarded during the deal.
The first, perhaps most blatant issue is the geographical location of our nations. Whilst Kanjor, Rildanor, and Alduria are all three bordered by each other, within South Seleya, Lourenne is positioned in within an entirely different continent, and therefore subject to different issues and organisations. The PCL would like reassurances that Lourenne's geographical location would not result in it being disadvantaged in anyway - most crucially within free trade deals that would most likely occur within l'État Canrillaise. Furthermore, we would wish to hold the right to be able to opt-out of any deal that we may feel to be detrimental to our country in regards to our position. Whilst we fully accept that this would not be intentionally negative for Lourenne, and would naturally attempt to negotiate the terms to begin with, we believe that our isolation from the other Canrillaise nations should result in us having a looser bond regarding the regulation of l'État Canrillaise.
Secondly, we would like to bring up the issue of culture within Lourenne. The Parti Conservateur Libertaire is fully supportive of the increased prosperity of the Canrillaise people. We too wish for our people to be, once again, influential across all of Terra. We want all Canrillaise citizens of Alduria, Rildanor, Lourenne, and Kanjor to say with pride that they are Canrillaise. However, our main concern is the other ethnic minorities within Lourenne. Naturally, there is an extensive ethnic minority within Lourenne, due to its history as a colony to Rildanor, and these people would not necessarily describe themselves as Canrillaise. Lourenne is proud to hold a large population of Orinco people within its nation, and whilst the line between the two peoples is now faded, and no segregation or discord is of issue, they will be some of those people who dislike our further Canrillaise ties. It is natural for them to see this move as a support of one culture for another within our nation, and an undoing of the independence they achieved. Whilst, we will be assuring them that this is no such case, we would like to make sure that Orinco people will be guaranteed full equality and standing to the Canrillaise peoples.
Our third concern echoes that of our President's. Though well in the past, the Joîvant terrorist attack in 4213 had a severe effect on the people of our nation. Never before has such a detrimental attack against our culture been seen, and consequently our people are less certain about internationalism than before. We would, therefore, reject any talk of freedom of movement within the unification, and whilst certain restrictions could be removed for citizens of your honourable nations, I am sure that you will understand our non-negotiable position regarding the matter.
Finally, we would address our economy. This position is undoubtedly where our President's and our positions juxtapose each other the most. We are in favour of free trade, and a lifting of economic regulation. We would expect this to play an integral part of l'État Canrillaise. In our opinion, the regulation currently implemented upon the middle class and businesses within Lourenne is excessive, and our economy is crippling as a consequence of that. We would expect that the l'État Canrillaise would be fully supportive of a free market economy, and would help act as a pillar to help restore our economy, once we are again reelected.
I thank the Honourable attendees for listening, and hope that they will accept our proposals to Lourenne's position with this new and exciting venture. The PCL looks forward to playing an important role within l'État Canrillaise. This is a pivotal moment in the history of our peoples. We now have the opportunity to expand, to show the world that we are not weak. Let us take this opportunity and flourish. Plus fort ensemble!
