A Storm Ahead

Read the president's Good-bye-article
Hello, dear readers!
First I will salute you with the coming of the new year and I want to wish you all the best during those 365 days of your life! Let your dreams come true!
Then I will get to the point - the recent events, motivating me to write this article. As you can imagine, I cannot understand everything, happening now in eNorway, but even though I feel the pressure over our everyday existence in eRepublik. Due to inconsiderate and perhaps harmful actions of the country's president there is an impeachment proposal, pending in the congress and a tearing discussion on the forum (if you have not heard enough yet, you could read more on the forum). On the other side that was the last drop of making the current president quit not only his office, but the game as well.
I am not the right person to define his thoughts and deals as correct or incorrect, but a vital task of today should be countering the consequences before arguing whether what was done is a reason for punishment and shame or not. Moreover - the topic has been discussed in a sort of a hidden way - not a single article has been published until this moment. If not the president, at least some of the criticisers should explain their motifs in public. An open excuse or an abdication are waited too, so without being inpatient I kindly ask the men knowing more and participating personally in this issue to get it to the people.
However, impeaching a few days before elections is not the best solution, and the occurred troubles will only make eNorway weaker. A baby-boom campaign is expected and a political disunion is not what the newcomers would like to see. The president's supporters will stand against his enemies and this would split the nation into two different and polarised pieces - for our tiny land this could be deadly. Otherwise - a mistake on a high level is not to be tolerated. But even if we all go along with that, the problem solving is always before the punishment and the blaming. Let's unite in order to secure our interests and then think of faults and sides.
And of course - publish more about the situation, what is the congress for, if not for informing the people about its decisions? I hope you will not feel offended by my article, because my only wish is the best of this people. I do not try to criticise with bare words, neither do I want to express disappointment about the president, who has helped me in my few earliest days here. I only feel it right to ask - what has happened in fact, and how are we going to move on?
Thank you!
And PS. - If you have any ideas about the newspaper's outlook, let me know, please! Tell me if you like the new header and dividers and if you have something to recommend - plese, do! Thank you!

han burde ikke vært president men kunnskaps minister siden han er opptatt av rekkruttering av nye spillere.
First of all, a good article. I understand your thinking and the problems you find with this.
There is no info in the media because we are still discussing this act of treason behind closed doors and we don't really know what to make of this. Sorry for that.
The fact is that Nord Jylland was sold secretly to a scammer and a medal hunter called Alexander of Babylon(we got the chat log from him) by our president. This was kept secret from all. You all know that the CP ordered us to fight for Denmark because that would give us a NE war, the real reason was because of the deal he made with this medal hunter. Two days went after he received the money nothing was told from the CP to the congress or any other part of the government.
We din't find out before the scammer published an article were he told that he bought the region from our CP with a full log to prove it. The ball started to roll, bATRA continued to lie and come up with bad excuses and I saw no other way out than to start an Impeachment vote.
This was for me more than enough to impeach, combining that with all the other problems we have had internally with bATRA this month and his lack of knowledge on how the war module works can not just be called a mistake. I have played this game for years, and I have never seen a so unfit president like this one. I was actually close to propose an impeachment early this period over something entirely different. And that was the first time in over two years my mind crossed that idea.
Regarding if this will weaken this country and the consequences:
Yes this action made by our president is a blow, maybe more to EDEN than to Norway, but we must have the strength to fix it. A new CP is ready to take over the seat and I guess all the ministers can continue as they did before. The only consequence will be that bATRA is no longer cp, everything else will go on as usual.
I haven't seen anyone defend his action yet, we just doesn't agree on the proper punishment. So I don't think this will result in any disunion because of this.

And nice article Jochen Lutz! Good luck in the future 🙂
Thanks! I wish you all the best too!
The discussion on the forum are open for registered users, so all the information regarding this is freely available. I understand what you mean, though, and until there's a better discussion / media module in this game, we rely on secondary forums.
you may be right, but articles are often read more than forum posts
And on the forum there isn't a clear statement either, but I think everything is fine now, it jsut was not when I published this 😃
Thanks, however 🙂
I apologize to bATRA and Norway :
