[Bruke]

Government of the Brukean Republic

In light of the extraordinary events in Bruke, the Foreign Ministry has asked Prime Minister Finhas Motuma to hold a press conference in the Parliament Building in Dub City, that is open to foreign journalists.

Journalists may ask any question they like, so long as it is not intended to provoke or disparage the Royal Republic or its Government.

The Prime Minister has returned to the podium! If you want to know why our Government is choosing between withdrawing from the World Assembly or launching not one, but THREE repeal resolutions, you can ask him here.

[Oresland]

An Oreslandian reporter asks: "May we know what resolutions might be repealed by your nation?"

[Bruke]

Government is considered an attempt to repeal the WA resolutions relating to abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, and transition surgeries.

[Bruke]

In fact, the previous Prime Minister stepped down over the weekend, and our entire Cabinet had resigned over these issues.

Parliament is hopelessly deadlocked. The Constitutional Court will issue a ruling soon. And there may be new elections. Who knows? I may not be Prime Minister tommorrow!

Q and A is still open for anyone who wants to participate.

"Can Kenmoria draw from this that PM Motuma is currently opposed to the recognition of LGBT rights?"

[Bruke]

"Frankly, I can't say. Whatever I choose, I will alienate at least half of my party. Then I will not have a working majority in Parliament, which is slim enough as it is. What I can promise is that there will be a referendum on the matter soon. Since this issue has become so politically toxic, it is best to let the people decide."

[Bruke]

"I will submit the measure to Parliament for approval. If it passes, the referendum will be held within 4 weeks of passage."
