In a surprising move today, former Governor of Deltaria and leader of the Liberal Movement's Conservative Faction Nicolas Wies unleashed a ferocious denouncement of national involvement in the Darnussian Civil War. Upon hearing about the Whig Government's decision to commit Deltarian troops to the military action - Mr. Wies retaliated with a forum resolution that would, if passed, restrain the administration from interference in Darnussian affairs. In a series of press conferences and statements released throughout the day, the son of former 5-term Liberal Conservative Head of State Jonathan Wies said the following:
"The Liberal Movement cannot support this intervention. Not only will his act have nothing to do with the nation of Deltaria or the defence of our treaty signatory allies in Luthori - it will actively oppose a democratic nation in this conflict.
"We vote no, as we will not devote our troops to fighting a battle that is not ours or that of Luthori. We note no, because we support democracy and a nation's right to self-determination. We are not an interventionist nation, and out very stance against the MU is based on preventing intervention politics. We will not come down to that level."
The resolution however, has been subject to early setbacks however, with the Whig Government enlisting their Federalist subordinates to support the intervention. When questioned on this, Mr Wies said:
"The DLM has reached out to the Federalists. We have told them that now is the time to prove that they are the social jusice, small-government, ecologically friendly party that they allege to be. Supporting this move would be a denouncement of those principles. We can only hope that the Federalists are an honest organisation, and will honour the ideologies that spurred their success at the recent election."
The Former Foreign Minister also hinted towards receiving international support for his move, particularly coming in response to his international message:
"The Liberal Movement cannot and will not condone the entry into this engagement. A nation should have the right to self-determination over its future, and our involvement does not do anything to achieve that aim. Our full resolution, and the reasoning laid out for it is available for public viewing and commentary by foreign dignitaries."
The vote is currently ongoing in the Deltarian National Forum, and if Mr. Wies has anything to say about it - many Deltarian lives will be saved from the slaughter before the next election. As he put it:
"To the Federalists, the Whigs and to anyone else considering supporting this: Reconsider your vote. The lives of Deltarians abroad, as well as humanity across the globe demand it. They beg you to stay their government mandated slaughter."
