Cynthia Amphion, Selucian Ambassador, finally raises her voice
What have we become? What has this assembly become? Only a group of people that argue, with the argument of the "you have done this worse than me", but without accomplishing anything to solve all that goes wrong in Terra. It should embarrass us. Here in this assembly we are sat the people who, supposedly, represent all those nations of this planet that believe in democracy, and in the coexistence of our race. But this is only on paper. In practice, many of the nations represented here still maintain regimes that can be described as anything but democratic, and are with us acting as one of us. As if some people were worth more than others for the simple fact of being born in one place or another. It seems that it will never enter our minds that the differences between one and the other, beyond the physical, exist only because we create them in our mind. I will always wonder what it is that leads one person to believe to be above the others and to have the right to make them servants or slaves, with the impassive sight of this camera. The latest news, brought by the communist party of Badara, and the respective response it has received, does nothing more than reaffirm me in my ideas and my position. How can anyone even say that a political party, whatever ideology may be, forbids something because it represents a threat to their own interests - not to those of their nation, what supposedly is the main function of a political party-and is describe the Government as "democratically elected". Of course, the choice was either that or that, there is no more. They were going to win, no matter if there would be a lot, little or no participation. And when a political rival appears on the horizon, they are censored and banned, so citizens can not choose another political option.
Gentlemen, this is very sad. That someone has to say what should be obvious in the eyes of all humanity shows everything we still have left to learn and overcome. But it also shows, as so does the history, that there will always be people who believe to be above others for reasons of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation ... and there lies precisely what should be one of the main objectives of this assembly, which has been diluted with the passing of the years: to make understand to all the nations of Terra that we have to collaborate together, bringing together different opinions to find the best solution, but respecting all those who do not share our same ideas-as long as, in turn, they show respect for others, because we must remember that hatred is not an opinion. [she says that slowly, word by word]
Having said that, Selucia wishes to show its interest in the attempt to hold new elections in Badara in order to allow its citizens to decide whether they prefer the current government or choose a new party to guide them. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen of this camera.
She sits down, with a serious face and looking at her papers.
