Maia McEvoy announces the creation of two important constitutional reforms
The Taoiseach of Kirlawa also announces that she will not seek a new reelectionTaoiseach McEvoy during her appearanceThe Taoiseach of Kirlawa, Maia McEvoy, announced today that she will seek the support of the Social Democrats, the opposition party, to unanimously carry out the two major constitutional reforms of this legislature: the law of equality and the law of referendums.
The equality law, named as
LGBT Protection and Equality Act, will shield, in the words of the Taoiseach herself "the rights of two groups historically discriminated by world societies: the LGBT collective and women, so that they will be constitutionally protected". The law includes the prohibition of what are known as "conversion therapies" and discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation, as well as equal marriage or legalization of homosexuality, both long-standing legal things in Kirlawa but that will now happen to enjoy constitutional protection.
The law on referendums, on the other hand, aims to "actively increase the participation of citizens in the decision-making process of politicians", with the creation of three types of referendums: Taoiseach referendums, Senatorial referendums, and Popular referendums. To know more about them, click

"I wish with all my heart that the Social Democrats support these constitutional reforms,"
said Mrs. McEvoy.
"We differ in some things, but in essence, both Social Democrats and us defend the rights of all citizens of Kirlawa, and we believe in equality and social advancement, as well as in collaboration among all to build a better society. That's why I think there will be no problem of understanding. "
However, the Taoiseach has already advanced that if she does not get the support of the Social Democrats she will pass both laws as simple government laws, thanks to the majority that her party, previously known as Comthtogra-Joint Proposal and now renamed as Seasamh Clé (Kirlawan for "Standing Left"), has in the Federal Senate (410 seats out of a total of 749).
Mrs. McEvoy has taken advantage of her appearance to also announce that she will not stand for re-election in the next elections. McEvoy, who will be 75 years old in the next election, has been chairing the party since its founding, in 4691, and the national government since 4704, and believes that the time has come to "step aside."
"I cannot be more proud of what we have achieved during the governments that I have led. We have turned Kirlawa into a democratic reference, and soon we will also make it a social and scientific reference. Those were my aspirations and I am glad to have been participant in that change that our nation needed so much. "
During the governments of Mrs. McEvoy numerous laws have been passed in Kirlawa and numerous institutional reforms have been undertaken, such as the official creation of the figures of the leaders of the Federal Senate, the regional heads of government, the mayor of the capital - who in turn has also undergone a change of name - the creation of the Supreme Court or the improvement of working conditions for workers.The Taoiseach has announced that during the rest of this legislature she also pretend to reform the tax system and increase the spending on health and science in the nation. She also wanted to contact the rest of nations of Terra to keep expanding the
Kirlawan Official Diplomatic Treaty, in order to implement official diplomatic relationships with Terran nations.
It is not yet known who will take her place in the party, but many voices agree that the figure of Maia McEvoy has already left an indelible mark on the collective memory of the citizens of Kirlawa.
