Presidential Speech
•
by montorg
Dear fellow citizens,
Although it was a tight match, I must say, that it was surprisingly clean on both sides. Usually such elections are polluted with dozens and hundreds of multies. In South Africa this wasn’t the case and I am proud about that.
I will try to make a good job.
I will not go and rage around and attack our neighbours. Our ceasefire with Brasil will end after my presidential term, so unless something crazy happens, I will not meddle in that.
We can work on some other issues:
-One of my first actions (actually last action as congressman) was to propose a law lowering the import tax burden on food from 90% to 45% in order to reduce the price of the most expensive food in eRepublik. I hope this will boost the imports, since there is huge overproduction in the world. If 45% is not enough, we will further lower it. I hope, that lower food price will make the country more enjoyable for everybody.
-On the other hand I proposed to increase import taxes on titanium. I mean…whe should be the biggest producres of titanium in the world, it would be funny to find out that we import some stuff.
You may ask, what is the big deal about those embargo proposals with Singapore, what sort of problem do we have with them? Well…nothing, It is just for creating some additional XP-s for the congress people.
Same applies for Citizen’s welcome message. We had a message in Hungarian, one in Serbian. Next one, equally unserious will be English language. Enjoy the XP-s you will get for voting, we have no intention to replace the old one.
About the new Government:
We will have 4 major and 2 smaller ministries:
1. The ministry of the relations with Hungary will be performed by Vasmegye. He is Hungarian ex-MoFa, a very experienced diplomat and a great colleauge. He will be the major connection towards Hungary and he has relatively free hands.
2. For the position of MoFA I have a surprise: Blaz Gutman is a non-Hungarian, non-Serbian…he is ex-President of Slovenia, a skilled diplomat, with multiple connections in the Phoenix Alliance. He will be assisted by another Slovenian, Garrincha88, who will also be our ambassador to Slovenia. Their job description will be fine tuned in the next couple of days, but actually they have both started to work. Dear Slovenians, welcome on board!
3. Economy, Finances, Informatics and Monetary issues will be handled by Stadler City. His right hand will be kismedve, like nothing changed. I did not want to have any incontinuity in these issues during my 30 days of Presidency. So, he will handle all the issues as he did before, he has free hands to pick the people whom he would like to work with.
4. Army: AThomson will be our MoD. He is an old fighter, who used to be my colleuge in the Hungarian regular army, and he is also trusted by Stadler City. We need to develop the army, since we need to be prepared to defend ourselves at a certain level against further aggressions. MPP with Hungary is a MUST, another MPP would be desirable, depending on the available cash. The army must be well-equipped and trained mostly to defend our land. In case of aggression, we count on the help of all South African citizens.
5. Ministry of Propaganda: I volunteered so you will have more fun than you need.
6. Relations with indigeneous South Africans. Last time when I was on the #esouth_africa channel, I got kicked out. Well…my door still stays open and our delegate in charge with the communication to the other half of the country will be Bence0206.
Thank You

o7
Vote
this is good
This is *not* the official government.
The official government is made of (as you call them "indigeneous South Africans"
Congratulations on the PTO presidency.
Citizens of eSA. This is not the president of the ppl but the president of the Hungarian entourage. I the president of the ppl of eSA will be announcing the official goverment as it should be. Please watch out for the eSA presidential paper.
Grimstone
President of the people
Grimstone, I don't know how could you find any connection between these words: "PTO & Presidency"
Actually you are trying to PTO South Africa, againts the majority of the people.
Accept the truth.
Congrats for every candidates!
And of course Congrats to our new president.
You can't find a connection? Let me explain it to you:
PTO-Political take over
Presidency- An office that can be politically taken over
Is that to hard for you to understand? Do you need me to spell it out to you?
Yes, that's okay. So let me be a lil bit more clear:
Connection between: PTO&Presidency&Montaigne
I declare myself as South African and I accept this government as official and legal. South Africa will walk on her own way with or without you...
It's surprising, really. For the so called 'majority', I really only see.....about 7 ever talk. And the so called 'minority', which has been governing South Africa for months and months, I see countless people talking.
Is it possible that the 'majority' are using multiple accounts? Nah, this is eRepublik, every multi's always caught(yep, EVERY multi's ALWAYS caught). /sarcasm
Really, no one believes you, and they'd have more respect if you came out with it. Just admit already that you're PTO'ing South Africa for the good of PHOENIX, and not the good of South Africa. At least then you wouldn't be seen as some pathetic people that honestly think they're fooling people.
Also: Have fun governing over the Hun immigrants, have fun with your Hun army and have fun with your Hun foreign policies.
Meanwhile we'll be tending to eSouth African business, which is none of yours by the way.
You know, we use IRC... and we have better things to do than have quarrels here.
Actually, we have to govern the country.
Good luck, monti!
I'll be there to help you if needed.
Btw cool story bro 😉
Good luck, monti!
Sok sikert, és ingyen sört a népnek!
xD there are only 10 south african commenting..
so i dont understand it Stryke (I really only see.....about 7 ever talk)
@Amergin I declare that I am from the moon and can fly, but that doesn't mean it's true.
Making your profile pic the South African flag isn't fooling anyone.
@Gregory From your guys' contract- "1b. Seeing this situation, a Hungarian TO group started an operation in the country."
And how are they taking over the country- through the political module. Later on in the article it's even called a PTO.
Is that not enough for you? Do you still not get it? Your mother understood it fine last night.
@Stryke:
Haha, it is funny that we are 7 of us and we are not talking.
Actually if we have something to talk and we have the determination to do it...than ask your Brasilian friends. In 2 hours we have devastated their media, we have taken 8 out of the TOP10 articles.
Lol @Golgavar.
Ok all, let's not troll or flame their article. We know what needs to get done. So let's get to it!
Flahemita, Grimstone etc. "original" SA players: where are the others? I see only a few comment from you, guys.
Júngaros...they´re evil
One Hungarian "emigrant" here just for you 😛.
NOT REAL!!!
Hi, I'm real.
Éljen Montaigne!
Szerencsére nem tudták elcsalni...
Voted!!!
Hmm...
Grimstone, did you think about how many of your voters were RL south africans?
I guess the majority of them are RL americans, spanish, croats, romaninan, etc... Most of your ppl - who you are calling "south africans" - are also migrants and PTO-ers from the EDEN side 😃😃
This battle of worlds about "who are the real south africans?" is meaningless here q:
There are far more RL South Africans who voted for Grimstone than non-RL ones. We have had polls on the forums which confirm this.
How many Spanish articles have there been in our media? Croatian? Romanian? That's right, none. There have however been numerous articles in Afrikaans. That's because a high percentage of us speaks the language. Guess again.
And who is a real South African in erepublik? One that doesn't give up the sovereignty of the country like you guys di😛 "therefore eSA should be acknowledged similarly as the original regions of eHungary itself." -from your little agreement with Phoenix.
You guys aren't South African. You're an admitted PTO group from Hungary, supported by the Hungarian government.
Vote (: I'll try to do my best for South Africa : )
Theres really no point in denying you guys are PTOers when your contract says you are, as Golgavar pointed out. It just makes you guys look silly and gives us a few laughs.
I am a RL american. Proud of it.
But what counts more in this game. I am a true eSA citizen. Just because where I come from in RL doesn't change how the game is played.
I agree with Glorifieds comment. eRep is just a game, and because of that, go ahead and pretend you're something different than real life.
VIVA GRIMSTONE, glad to have you ase the Prez GRIM😁
Hajrá!
"I am a RL american. Proud of it.
But what counts more in this game. I am a true eSA citizen. Just because where I come from in RL doesn't change how the game is played."
LOL. RL doesn't change how the game is played. I agree! 😁)
God bless you! Gazuntite! You should really get that sneeze checked out, the beginning of your post is unreadable. Do you have a cold?
RL may not change the way the game is played, but you are still a Hungarian PTOer. You guys admitted to it, therefore you are.
We came here, we want to live here, we stay here!
We don't want to harm you, and your people...
If you want to call us enemy, just do it...
But, we want to make this country bigger and stronger! If you cooperate with us, we thank you! But we will do it, sooner or later!
And ofcourse big congrat the new president!
"eSA" "people" seems to be mentally challenged, they are RL americans, but they call hungarians TO-ers. LOL. Politics is about winning, not wHining. 😁)))
Stadler city finance? What the stuff is the world coming to...
And MoD approved by Stadler city? Are you all puppets muppets?
Rains - I am a RL South African and a e😜resident, Greyhunter is a RL South African and a e😜resident. Ines Schumacher is a RL South African and a e😜resident, Grimstone is a RL South African and OUR TRUE PRESIDENT
"We don't want to harm you, and your people...," what a load of bull, we've been attacked for the first time in 3 months, all because u guys took the presidency & perilously let our MMP expire. we don't control all our regions & u had the audacity to sell us out to the Brazilians & then pretend like it was nothing.
PTO scum! Have fun while you can, it won't last long!
@Mark, nice one bruv, Feels good to be mentioned along with eSA's greats. Zamrg & Mulderpf were also presidents and RL South africans.
Supid noob Ptos.
ps i am also Rl South African and i support Grimstone.
@ Grimstone; Was angry when I said it - My memory banks won't in the right gear - but you are right
There would not have been a Montaignenie precidency if it was not for cheating. PERIOD! >>>>>>>> read and vote this article:

"Just because where I come from in RL doesn't change how the game is played." x2

No but you got your citizenship thanx to them.
Rexdeus:
I guess your guys have checked me for cheating up and down. Please do it again and again. You will find NOTHING. Why? Because I am one of those guys who have not cheated. I am too lazy to report you for insults a false accusations. This way your lucky day man...
