Wittenberg / Burgermeister Terp Commentary

I have nothing to report at this time. It should be no surprise that finding a new Burgermeister will be difficult; whoever is selected must be both be willing to do the work and be highly trusted by the entire nation.

For Talossans observing this, I note this is now the second consecutive month with "nothing to report." I will try to go 3 for 3 next month and see if the FreeDems/PdR are able to fill this important post as they focus on a blockade.
S:reu Tzaracomprada has admitted he doesn't know of any good replacement either. I appreciate that the TNC is holding the Government to account, but citizens should know that actually doing the governing is a lot harder.

I will also point out that the "blockade" only requires our attention once per month.

The finding is on the basis that for the past several governments, the success rate for filing purely bureaucratic positions has been approximately 0%.

That is not what I asked though. I asked what you have done. And I am still waiting for that answer.
S:reu Túischac'h,

The honorable member does not seem to realize that his follow-up was a yes-or-no question, which I answered in the negative.

Since S:reu Lenxheir is not a member of the Talossan National Congress, this submission is not included in the FreeDem legislative boycott.

MC Lenxheir is not an independent member of the Cosa. He is proposing this bill in his capacity as a holder of a Talossan National Congress seat in parliament. I am pleased to see that the boycott is either over or has become porous.
MC Lenxheir, unless I am hear from him to the contrary, is an independent who happens to be holding TNC seats.

The needed personnel is unlikely to exist.

We will continue the policy of assigning TalossAssistants on an informal basis.

WHEREAS Russia's aggression against Ukraine and China's genocide of the Uyghurs are very worthy of being condemned, and

WHEREAS TNC MC Tzaracomprada has introduced Senses of the Ziu condemning them, and

WHEREAS Despite his eloquent writing, MC Tzaracomprada's true motivation for introducing these Senses is likely to politically embarrass the Free Democrats for their ongoing boycott of TNC legislation, and

WHEREAS The evidence of this is that he has not introduced any similar Senses in the previous several Cosas, despite (unfortunately) there being plenty of bad things going on in the world which could have been condemned, and

WHEREAS I reject the use of sanctions because they disproportionally harm the poor of every nation they are inflicted on, while exerting almost no influence on the governments of those nations, and

WHEREAS Because I am removing the endorsement of sanctions from MC Tzaracomprada's original Sense concerning Russia's war in Ukraine, this is a substantively different bill and not a straight copy


THEREFORE Be it resolved that the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa:

Supports the people of Ukraine in their fight to repel invaders and re-establish self-determination

Encourages the International Criminal Court to investigate war crimes committed by Russian invaders

Condemns the Russian blockade of Ukrainian wheat as an terrible disruption of peaceful commerce which could plunge millions into starvation

Recognizes the treatment of Uyghurs by the Chinese Communist Party as a genocide and encourages other countries to do the same

Calls on the applicable human rights organizations to investigate this genocide

Just a reminder to everyone why this unpleasantness has to continue:
-The TNC campaigned on Monarchy reform but is still yet to produce any actual proposal.
-The FreeDems asked the TNC several times what Monarchy reform it had in mind. It was clear that further questions would be met with silence.
-The FreeDems are making the TNC fulfill its commitment to their own voters. The TNC has responded to our very reasonable request with howling and bloviating.

WHEREAS To encourage citizens to update the wiki, I have promised to declare a day of observance at the request of any citizen who makes twenty updates, and

WHEREAS Sir Alexandreu Davinescu has made twenty edits and requested that I proclaim a day of observance in honor of his political party, the Talossan National Congress

THEREFORE I declare July 10th, 2022 "Talossan National Congress Day"

Azul!
I already have an account, what is the process to be able to modify articles?
I tried to change a little thingy a few days ago but I don't have the right permissions.
My wiki account is not able to approve other accounts. @Lüc, can you help with this?

We currently have an incentive program to encourage citizens to update the wiki: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=1485.0. It is not too hard once it's set up, Id be happy to help.

Just like everything else, the Ministry of STUFF is very understaffed. It cannot reasonably be expected to be responsible for all wiki updates right now.
