People of Eutopia,

I hereby declare that due to the recent national crisis I call for a National Crisis Committee (NCC).

I urge all responsible people to join this committee. I propose that all men and women with political responsabilities address their opinions here.

For the People!

MMDS, President of Eutopia.

I'm a voter, a serious political responsibility, and I think the government is worsening the situation by reacting with seeming panic. A nutcase planting a bomb in an unpopular ministers car is a serious event and cause for concern, but national crisis? We don't want one or two murderers to be able to paralize Eutopia the way the Beltway Sniper paralyzed the US. Calm, steady reactions from the government and news media are vital.

Appropriate steps are to move the MoD to safety (as has been done), increase security around federal buildings and cabinet members, and give the Police the support they need to find and catch these would-be terrorists.

Also, though obviously badly shaken up by the attempt on his life, no minister should be allowed to openly call for martial law in a Democracy. The MoD must be prevented from escalating the crisis further.

I said NO MARTIAL LAW. Just because some leftists tried to kill some one I don't think all the nation should soffer.

I also say that I don't need any extra bodyguards I believe that the people ( even the most radicals ) of EUtopia don't what me to die. SO I REFUSE.

I'm a friend of the people of ALL the people and with my projects primarally the Freeway everybody will won!!


And I also say that the coal miners should stop this arrest because all EUtopia is sufering with that!!!


And please Minister Jool calm down!

I must join.

Did we let in the Moroccans? They were terrorists, supposedly...

We need American support, one way or the other, in our own little war on terrorism. That's for sure. But NO martial law!

I'd tend to agree with Mr. Deaghaidh, but would like to point out that Mr. Jools is no longer MDIA. :)

As to martial law, I don't think anyone is seriously considering that option.

Regarding the Western Saharan dissidents, a decision by the Eutopian government is still pending.

There is no martial law.

Indeed the decision regarding the Morocco issue still needs to be taken.

From what I can tell, this sounds like it this will ultimately have to be an executive decision.

Do you (Mr. President) want to set a firm date and then continue to hear debate until then?

Do you want the committee to try to reach some consensus recommendation?

The matter needs to resolved within the next days.

I want to hear the opinion of all major players, preferably a consensus.

(OOC: I've seen on some other Paradox forums where they've set up poll threads. Is this something you could do if you wanted a "national referendum"? It only allows each user to post once, but it would allow "non-citizens" to vote, though I don't know why they would. Just a thought)

We can't let the W-Sahara dissidents in, there wives and children maybe but not the dissidents themselves. They may not be terrorists but if they are we are in even more trouble.
I don't see why we can't use the Military against terrorists, not in the city but the WET has always been a hide out for 'terrorists'. I also think that some citizens are overreacting about the Military. The Military is made up by conscripts, why should they try to take over the government?

Why are citizens over-reacting? Perhaps because of the ravings of the former military commander?

Still, you've got a valid point about the conscripts, but remember that the officers are mostly career soldiers, not temporary conscripts, and any coup threats would likely originate there.

However, other than the disturbing remarks by their former minister, I have no reason to suspect anything sinister from our military and in fact think they need more resouces at their disposal.

As for the dissidents, we cannot assume some one is guilty just because they have been accused, especially when you consider that the accuser is quite biased.

I like the idea of temporary sanctuary being provided at a secure location while the government can conduct the research necessary for individual background checks, and then families can be admitted or turned away on a case by case basis.

And that's what I decide to do. Nobody is guilty until proven...

Therefor we give those people temporary asylum while the research takes place. If nothing shows up, they may stay here.

May I note that ex-Minister Jools wasn't the military commander?
And you can't say that officers could begin a military coup. You need troops to do that.

About the dissidents, can't we send some transport ships and put the dissidents in them? I'm not talking about the women and children but about the men who are suspected to be terrorists?

It would be easier to have them in a military installation in WET.
Less people around and we can keep an eye on them.

The military's job is to protect the nation of EUtopia.
The only way for civilians to make sure that EUtopia is safe for those terorists/freedom fighters is to put them in jail.
Why are the politicians so Militaryfobic?
