Merridell, Globus - President Comte addressed the nation in his weekly address today to announce his support to Martin Habetov in the snap elections currently being held in Bratislav, resulting in former President Robert Nikolev’s resignation last week.
In the address, Comte inherently crushed the current Prime Minister Albert Gregorev, who is the main contender against Habetov. Comte calls our Gregorev’s extreme right views, and religiosity. He goes as far as warning that Gregorev will establish a “god-fearing, war-mongering, dictatorship.”
Comte praises the moderate leaning conservative Martin Habetov, stating that Habetov's values are similar to that of Globus’, and that he will model Bratislav after the “Globus model.” Comte calls attention to Habetov’s secularism, pacifism, and conservatism.
Transcript of the weekly addressShortly following the address, Christian Democratic Union leader Rickey Trevino refuted Comte’s address in a press statement. Trevino defended Albert Gregorev, stating that he “is well capable of democratically leading Bratislav.” Trevino attacked Comte by saying that Comte fears a Christian leader (Comte being a secular humanist himself), and that Comte believes Christians are incapable of leading a democratic country. Trevino also criticized Comte for wasting the time of citizens by addressing unimportant foreign affairs.
The Christian Democratic Union has said they are drafting a letter to send to Albert Gregorev, apologizing for Comte’s anti-Christian slander.
The Secular Party, Green Party, Conservative Party, and Liberal Coalition have all announced their support of Martin Habetov. Along with the Christian Democratic Union, the
Globian Reform Party, and Commonwealth Communist Party have pledged their support to Albert Gregorev.
Owen Gordon, Trustee of Canby and member of the National Democratic Party, stated that Comte and the government should not care to worry about the elections held in other countries, and that the NDP will not pledge support to either candidate because they “simply don’t care about foreign elections.”
