WHEREAS the Union of Free Reformists and the Progressive Alliance have worked together closely on sanctions to exclude acknowledged sexual harasser Brenéir Tzaracomprada from Talossan life - until such time as he shows convincing amendment of his ways - including a Sense of the Ziu (https://wiki.talossa.com/Law:61RZ13_Sense_of_the_Ziu:_A_First_Step_Towards_Decency) and two joint statements;
and WHEREAS the first Joint Statement of April 2025 (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4023.msg33613#msg33613) committed the two parties to "pledge non-cooperation with and informal boycotts of serial harassers", whereas the second statement of October 2025 (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4467.msg37489#msg37489) made the weaker commitment to "rule out forming any government which includes, or relies on the support of, the Green Party."
and WHEREAS the current Progressive Alliance-led government has kept the narrower pledge to keep the Green Party out of government, but has on the other hand entirely relaxed the weaker "informal boycott", by accepting Tzaracomprada as an "Information Liaison" (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=5041.msg41244#msg41244) with other micronations, and engaged with Tzaracomprada-led media outlets for joint activity (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3674.msg41094#msg41094), interviews (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=5178.msg42371#msg42371) etc.;
and WHEREAS all this indicates that the Progressive Alliance doesn't really have the heart for the informal boycott any more, or that they doubt its usefulness;
and WHEREAS this makes it likely that the narrower boycott, on government formation, will likely collapse at the next election, especially if the PA has no other coalition partners;
THEREFORE this Convention resolves, and makes it binding on the incoming Comità, that the Union of Free Reformists will continue a complete political and social boycott of Brenéir Tzaracomprada until he shows remorse and convincing amendments to his behaviour. This means:
- no governments including, or relying on the votes of, the Green Party or whatever other political vehicle Tzacomprada picks up.
- a URL government will fully boycott Tzaracomprada. He will not be eligible for any Government-related jobs, including "Information Liaison", and there will be no engagement with his media outlets;
AND THAT we can remain staunch on this as long as he remains staunch on being a vesnéir.
The convention also expresses its regret that the Progressive Alliance have seemingly decided that sexual harassers can get away with it if they just act shameless for long enough; and also expresses its sincere sympathy to Crement Itravilatx for, you know, everything.
You're not welcome on our forum, Brenéir :)
As we prepare to conclude our Convention, the voting period is hereby opened on this motion.

With five votes in favor, none opposed, and no abstentions, the motion passes.
It strikes me that - of all the votes before this Convention - this motion got the highest turnout. Certainly shows the depth of feeling of ordinary Talossans.
That was my thought as well. It's good that we draw a bright line.
