My dear fellow citizens,
Allow me to begin by expressing to you the great honor that it is up to me to address all of you in this commemorative act of the 10th anniversary of Our Empire and of Our Imperial Constitution.
And I could only start this speech like the one I did ten years ago when you granted me your trust, thanking you all, People of Istalia. Despite the difficulties encountered along this path, despite the challenges we have faced against, we find ourselves here today to celebrate what we have built together.
On the occasion of this anniversary, I want to express, once again, my respect and commitment to our Constitution, to the Values and Principles which it embodies, a Constitution whose celebration deserves the greatest recognition of all the institutions of the State. Thanks to it and its protection, Istalia has not only been able to continue to live in democracy and freedom, but will be able to do so even more firmly and solidly, and I assure you that I will watch constantly so that this always remains so.
An institutional, but also, undoubtedly, personal and moral commitment. A commitment that is not only a requirement of my responsibility, now as your Emperor, but it is also the expression of my esteem and duty of loyalty to the Istalian people.
This anniversary is a great opportunity to remember and recognize the historical dimension of the decision taken by the Istalians on 1th September 4571, and it is also, without a doubt, to enhance the scope and perspective it deserves in our day.
But celebrating historical events consists not only in evoking memories, but also in reflecting on the values and principles that inspired previous generations to build the present and look to the future with confidence.
The commemoration of the glorious birth of the Empire is no exception to this rule, especially since it was a veritable epochal turning point for Istalia, a true revolution that is renewed today and whose witness is passed to future generations in the a sign of Freedom, Democracy, Tolerance and Solidarity, and today we need more than ever this spirit of Solidarity to be able to meet the common challenges that we will encounter in the future.
Let therefore aspire together to renew this commitment and this sincere solidarity that has always united the Istalian people, in order to continue to work together, with sincerity and good faith, to serve the common causes of the Istalians and to face the challenges that we will inevitably encounter, challenges that together we will be able to overcome, continuing to aspire for our country, for our future generations, for the Empire, for the 1000 years of Glory and Prosperity that the Fate has reserved and destined for our People.
Long life Istalia, Long life the Empire!
Like many of my colleagues, I can only judge all this as socialist nonsense! They are ready to nullify the efforts and limit the possibilities of so many companies and entrepreneurs and to wipe out their presence from several key sectors of our economy in favor of public services that risk to be involved by political interests, tools at the service of the parties for vote buying and thus become victims of inefficiency and waste. Moreover, all these services will drain huge amounts of resources, as will the hundreds of thousands of new pensioners for which the future workers, our citizens and our companies will have to pay even more taxes, which will damage the economic growth even more and will decrease the confidence of entrepreneurs and investors.
From the opposition we will try to counter these reforms with every possible means and I assure the Nation that we will always support a freer Istalia, more money in the pockets of the citizens and less oppression of the business.
The Istalians will soon realize how much damage these reforms will cause, they will realize how much the state will take from them and how much we will all be poorer!
The new advancing! Personally, I am ready to continue to do my duty and serve the Empire, but it will not be long before I too will have to leave room for new forces and new faces. During this electoral campaign we presented numerous new candidates for a possible new government, men and women who after years among our parliamentarians and having cut their teeth in past governments, stood out for their skills and their passion. Among these I would like to mention Aisha Mercuri and Karim Qadarsi, respectively the outgoing Ministers of the Environment and Finance, and then Stefano Morandi and Carolina Strijdom, with three mandates behind them as members of the Assembly and who have distinguished themselves for their parliamentary activity. The experience of the National Alliance will certainly not end with me, the party has carved out a very specific role in the national political landscape, we are the only political force that wants an Istalia made up of entrepreneurs and companies capable of creating jobs, an Istalia of workers and professionals of all kinds with more money in their pockets ready to consume and even save more, an Istalia that gives confidence to those who want to invest in our country. A more free and dynamic Istalia! This has become our party, an alliance for Freedom and Progress, not just an alliance of political movements in favor of the monarchy and the Empire, also because, for the umpteenth time, for the umpteenth election, there is no possibility for any political movement to question the Emperor and the Monarchy.
Moreover, precisely on the subject I met personally with the leadership of the Socialists & Democrats who assured me that they do not consider the role of the Emperor an impediment to the expression of popular will and that an institutional reform is not among their intentions.
Therefore,I have nothing but tell the Nationalists to put their souls in peace, since by now the Istalians have understood how much malice and how much hatred there is behind their falsehoods and their shameful denigration campaign against the Emperor and the Monarchy and it is in the face of the bitterness of the Nationalists, who as far as I am concerned can continue eating their hearts, that with the biggest and largest smile I cry out proudlyI:
"Long live Istalia, Long live Michele I, long live the Empire!"
Greetings everyone
PNI is a democratic, progressive & nationalistic party working for betterment and progress of Istalia.We have always maintained our position of abolishing & abrogating Monarchy for which Our government is always supported by friendly nations of Solentia, Selucia and others. Our govt has been destabilized by the SO CALLED HEAD OF STATE BORROMEI'S POLITICAL PARTY "NATIONAL ALLIANCE". WE strongly CONDEMN its activities. It has never been successful in implementing true democratic norms in the country rather always tried to establish DICTATORSHIP. BORROMEI IS A POLITICAL PERSON AND IS RUNNING THE PARTY. ONCE AGAIN OUR GOVERNMENT IS BEING REMOVED DUE UNDUE AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS AND CONSPIRACIES. WE CATEGORICALLY REJECT THESE THINGS.
WE THE GOVERNMENT OF ISTALIA ONCE AGAIN DEMAND BORROMEI AND HIS PARTY TO DEMOLISH MONARCHY AND RESTORE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM.
As Head of Government of Istalia I release this worldwide message to totally deny all what the PNI declared through a recent worldwide message illegally released on behalf of the Istalian Government. The PNI was disbanded before the release of that message for its oil legal activity (OOC: illegal?). As Prime Minister I totally reject all the allegations by PNI and I ask to the nations of the world to not believe to such allegations. PNI acted against the law and for this reason it was punished. And as Head of Government, Me and my party were the one demaged by the PNI and its action. Without the seats of PNI now the Socialists and Democrats lost their right to govern Istalia. The Emperor or the ANI (National Alliance for the Empire) did not nothing to hinder the electoral process and did nothing to stop my party and the PNI to go to the government. It was not the Emperor that removed PNI from the power. The Justice do it because PNI went against the law. I can assure you that all what expressed by PNI are lies. And I say also that PNI asked me to wrote something against the Emperor or the ANI but I will not do such a things because the reality is not what PNI described.
Thank you for your attention
People of Istalia,
it is with the greatest regret that I address you and the whole Nation up to its highest institutions to express all my sadness and dismay in becoming aware of the actions carried out by the Istalian Nationalist Party, a political party of the Empire whose political leaders have even served and were serving in the most important institutional roles of the nation.
Today, however, we have had full proof of the goodness of the laws adopted to protect the institutions and the democratic princes of the Nation and that allowed the State to act in the most adequate and quickly way to counter these regretable events.
Furthermore, I can only rejoice for the work of Justice and the Law Enforcement Forces which, with self-denial and dedication, have thwarted what has emerged as a conspiracy persue with a foreign political force clearly to hit, once again, the image of the Istalian Empire and of the Imperial Dignity, hoping to turn the political opinion of Solentia against the monarchy of Istalia and thus push a foreign nation to interfere in the internal affairs of our Nation.
These acts not only threw infamy on those who until a few hours ago were honorable representatives of the Nation, but also irremediably compromised the regular functioning of the current legislative and executive institutions of the State.
For this reason, I decided to consult as soon as possible with Prime Minister Tarso, with the President of the National Assembly and therefore also with the members of the parliamentary opposition to dissolve the Assembly and call new elections to give full legitimacy as soon as possible to the highest offices of state and to ensure their full democratic nature.
Thanks
I'm simply appalled by the behavior of the Nationalists, and really angry! But the liars never prosper while the truth at the end is alwyas manifested! And I want today to refute and confute every single word expressed by those treacherous and disloyal Nationalists!
First of all the PNI falsely declared that Our government is always supported by friendly nations of Solentia, Selucia and others: it is a falsehood! MY GOVERNMENT solved all the mess caused first of all by the falsehoods and the smear campaign by PNI against the Istalian Empire and the Emperor Michele I. The Government I had the honor to lead totally refuted all what said by the Nationalists and disproved all their lies showing just the truth, a truth already revealed under the last years of the Government led by Faisal Saeed and that pushed even the at the time Solentian President to express worldwide Official Apology to the Istalian Government with which he said that probably he had misunderstood the words of PNI, proving how the PNI has always and only disseminated falsehood, accusing my party of imperialism and even making to a foreign head of state believe that my Government and my party wanted to threaten his country of war. The Solentian President, at the time, spoke about "misunderstanding" but we are sure, as mentioned, that the President had simply been misled by the falsities of the Nationalists.
Another demonstration of the absence of thrue in the words of the PNI is that today ALL the Solentian parties have extremely good relations with Istalia and expressed several times their intention to maintain the best relations with us, like during the crisis caused as said first of all by PNI and that its solentian puppet tried to ignite even more against the Emperor, like during the crisis opened by Solentian Vice-President Mike Fence with his proposal to built fences on our borders or when they totally refused to follow Vice-President Fence in a war against Istalia.
Second falsehood: Our govt has been destabilized by the SO CALLED HEAD OF STATE BORROMEI'S POLITICAL PARTY "NATIONAL ALLIANCE". The National Alliance for the Empire did nothing to prevent the PNI to rule the country as well as the EMPEROR DID NOTHING to prevent PNI ruling the country. In fact, Faisal Saeed, leader of the Nationalists, led his own government between 4575 and 4580 while just after the most recent elections of 4584 the PNI joined a coalition with the Socialists & Democrats with whom they formed a new Government.
In the last 15 years we assisted to a perfect alternation of power between parties, between the ANI and the PNI first of all; an alternation which totally disproved the allegations of dictatorship by His Majesty Michele I, who, instead, ALWAYS respected the outcome of all the elections held during his reign and who welcome just few months ago Prime Minister Tarso appointing officially him as Head of Government who as per Consitution is the holder of the Executive Power.
Third Falsehood: It has never been successful in implementing true democratic norms in the country rather always tried to establish DICTATORSHIP. BORROMEI IS A POLITICAL PERSON AND IS RUNNING THE PARTY.. Also this clear falsity can be easily disproved for the same reason that disproved the second falsehood. If a dictatorship has been established in Istalia, how could the PNI be able to led the Government between 4575 and 4580? How could Faisal Saeed become Prime Minister of the Empire? How could the coalition of S&D+PNI became the new Government of Istalia while the ANI remaining at the opposition?
Furthermore, the statements about His Majesty the Emperor being a political person and that is running the National Alliance is simple ridicolous. I'm the political head of the National Assembly! His Majesty renounced to all political roles within the National Alliance and he resigned from his leadership and membership of the party when he was crowned Emperor of the Istalians and the fact that he never expressed any kind of statement or judgement against the PNI, or the S&D or against the laws enforced by Saeed's Government or by the Tarso's Goverment is a further proof of the fact that Michele I has never exerciting political influence in the role of Sovereign of the Istalian Empire.
This, like all the rest, are public falsehoods and in Istalia there are laws against the publication of false information and hate speech. For this reason we are ready to appeal the Justice so that the PNI will respond also for violating this Law.
Fourth Falsehood: ONCE AGAIN OUR GOVERNMENT IS BEING REMOVED DUE UNDUE AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS AND CONSPIRACIES. This is probably the most ridicolous statement of all this triumph of lies! The Istalian Nationalist Party was removed from any political and institutional office and was dissolved due to the violation of the Laws of the State of Istalian Empire and for having organized a conspiracy with the already mentioned solentian party to fuel anti-monarchist sentiments in Solentia, which, clearly, for the interests of PNI didn't want go against Istalia but just against the Monarchy here established, promoting interventions by the Solentian Government in the internal affairs of Istalia, like some comments made by the Solentian Peoples Front in the Solentian Senate confirmed. And finally, let me add that to me it seems that calling the cabinet led by Paolo Tarso as "OUR GOVERNMENT" they showed to be the only ones to have a verritable authoritarian and egocentric thirst for power.
The National Alliance for the Empire is really sick and exhausted by all this mud thrown against us! We are really sick and exhausted of all the falsities that PNI constantly produced against us and His Majesty the Emperor! We are really sick and exhausted to be insulted and accused to be warmongers, to promote a dictatorial regime and to have illegally removed PNI from power. The only one that PNI must blame is itself for its treacherous behavior and its continuous breaking of laws.
Now, after all what happened, we are not anymore disponible to suffer without reaction all this! Now we will be on the first line and will continue to appeal the Justice so that PNI will never harm anymore Istalia!
I announce to all of you today my decision to leave the leadership of the National Alliance of the Empire, taking full responsibility for what we have witnessed a few hours ago. I also intend to announce my official withdrawal from politics.
But... I will only reserve these few words at the end of my career, because I want to focus myself instead in thanking all the people of Istalia and all those who believed in me and all those who for all these years have supported me and helped me to face the many challenges that me and the country we faced and that together we managed to overcome.
What will be the judgment of history on me, this to posterity to say. But I want and can assure you all and all the People of Istalia that the Good, Glory and Prosperity of the Country have always been pursued by me without ever pulling me back and with the utmost self-sacrifice.
It was an honor, a real honor, to have been able to serve the Country, this great Country, this beautiful land of Freedom, Opportunity and Tolerance, this country that is the home of the bravest, proud and noble men and women that history have ever seen, that always with their heads held high they faced any difficulty, crisis and threat, aspiring and even fighting, even dying, for the Most High and Noble Values and Principles that made great Istalia.
But moreover, it was really an honor for me to have been able to serve beside and then under our Emperor, our first Emperor, Michael I, who I can only pay homage to him and call him today as the Just, the Beloved, the Righteous but also the Patient, the Resistant, the Tolerant, him who has endured with extreme dignity and always respecting his role, his responsibilities and his duties, all the attacks, insults, ravages, calumnies and denigrations by those who have first and really betrayed the country's trust.
Now, time is come for new life and new face to lead the National Alliance and the Country, new young generations to pass the torch and continue keeping high the name of the Country, always promoting and defending the highest values of Tolerance, Freedom and Democracy on which our great Country is founded.
Thanks, thanks to everyone!
Long live Istalia! Long live the Empire!
The Socialists & Democrats wishes to express all their gratitude to the People of Istalia for the confidence recognized to our party. Our leader Paolo Tarso promises to the people that as soon as possible a new government will take office and soon we will respect all the promises made to the Istalians: more welfare, more services, more equity, more social justice, more dignity and well-being for all the People. Paolo Tarso will swear in the hands of the emperor but also in front of the Istalian People. Soon the whole People will be able to enjoy the richness of our country
