TOFINO - Lawmakers convened in Congressional Hall in Tofino today as debate around the executive use of airstrikes against West Chanchajillan regime forces, as President Moreau remains adament that Zamastanian air superiority in the ongoing offensive is the main element keeping Eastern forces with the upper hand.
Senator Adam Wolffe (GLP), one of President Moreau's most staunch critics, spoke on the floor of the Senate bashing the continuation of airstrikes after the East seized the city of Omi and became bogged down by regime artillery. He criticized the President's lack of clarity and unwillingness to share specific details on the administration's plan to deal with the Armbar regime outside of the use of airstrikes.
"President Moreau, respectfully, has no clue how to handle a crisis on this magnitude. A man who, among his accomplishments, has overseen the separation of our eastern provinces, a stagnated economy, the upstart of a violently unraveling war, and among it all he shares no clarity."
Wolffe was countered by Senator Benn Sargent (BCP) who supported the use of airstrikes, stating "Armbar has shown his destructive capabilities, and my friend Senator Wolffe seems to ignore the moral and ethical responsibility we have to ending this man's evil tyranny. Airstrikes and our commitment to support the East Chanchajillan ground offensive is our ethical responsibility."
Military officials stated that airstrikes on Tuesday, March 2nd, involved hitting key defensive and artillery positions of regime forces who have stalled the major offensive of the East just to the south of Omi. Omi was captured yesterday by East Chanchajillan forces, but the mobilization efforts have been hampered by artillery strikes from the regime. President Gideon Beor of East Chanchajilla has stated that the support of Zamastanian airstrikes has been key to the continuation of the offensive, and military officials are showing confidence that the regime retaliation will crumble.
SANCTIONS IMPLEMENTED AGAINST TOGARIA
Congressional Hall unanimously voted to implement sanctions against the Republic of Togaria, even after the government of Togaria agreed to return to peace talks in Buena Vera. Congressional Hall was not able to agree on complete sanctions on the entire organization of SEIAA, although implementation of individual nations was passed, including legislation targeted at the Royal Family of Alecburgh and the government of Cyruda.
Speaker Natasha Chastain (GLP), who issued the proposition to install sanctions, praised the rare show of bipartisanship, saying "today's vote shows how important issues can unite even the most divided legislature."
Senator William Beauvilliers (BCP), who heads the Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee, stated that the sanctions against Togaria were largely against the political leadership, the nation's military, and key economic functions. Sanctions against Alecburgh are targeted at the personal utilities of the Royal Family, specifically Queen Diana, the controversial head of state who has refused to relinquish her dramatic installment of absolute rule after ousting the democratically elected Prime Minister and parliament. Sanctions against the government of Cyruda include a hold against their agricultural exports, which force it into more domestic trade which has historically been stagnant.
Queen Diana yesterday made comments in retaliation to the proposed sanctions, calling them an "over-exaggerated response" and bashing President Moreau, who holds no authority over Congressional Hall's conduct. Even Queen Diana's SEIAA ally, President Brett Highland of Nebetia, revoked the Queen's comments and called them a "real immature act".
