[M&H] We leave the union

Day 838, 12:32 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by Ministerie van Media en Recrui

Dear citizens,

Yesterday, the government started a vote in congress regarding the dissolvement of the Union and the acknowlegdement of the Belgian state.

This is article 1 of the UNL constitution:
Article 1
A) The eUNL is a democratic union of Belgium and the Netherlands.
😎 This union is built on democratic support from both countries citizens.
C) When either citizens of Belgium or the Netherlands can show a democratic support for seperation this Union will enter a seperation phase to be completed by the goverment


The current UNL government sees that A and B are no longer met by the current situation. We are no longer one and a lot of democratic support is also missing. Still, a lot of people from both sides were still hoping for the Belgian regions to return to the UNL. Something others did not appreciate, and even judged them badly for it.
To avoid further discussion and confusion, the UNL government decided to use part C of article 1. We have started a vote in the UNL Congress.
The congressmen may vote on the question wether they "agree on disbanding the union and acknowledging Belgian independancy?"

Now that the congress accepted this vote, the Union is officially dissolved and the Belgian state acknowledged by our government.

Also, the government makes clear that when the Belgian government or people decide to merge and form the Union once again, we will welcome them with open arms.

On behalf of the government,
Flando, Minister of Media & Health
