From the steps of the International Freedom Memorial, as covered by the Copenhagen Sentinel and broadcasted worldwide by the Alliance World Gazette. Lord High Williamsburg has declared a moment of silence before his address after the attack of Oslo.
My fellow citizens of the world, it is with a heavy heart that I make this speech today. According to Alliance policy, I should be on the JORL right now, but I have decided against this. I must speak with you, and it would weigh on my conscience if I were to do it from the safety of space. The Motherland has been attacked, and by the most unlikely of threats: Baxter and Orwell Industries.
The regional capital of South Norway, that being the city of Oslo, has been striked by a series of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles from the Industries after their recent military coup. The dead have been estimated to be in the tens of thousands. How they could do this is beyond me. However, we have had time enough to grieve, and now we must take action. For too long the Industries have subjugated their people for the benefit of the plutocracy, and it is time we act.
These Democratic Nations of United Jacaria, in the face of injustice and outright attack, find no other feasible action than a declaration of reclamation. Jacarian blood has been spilt on Jacarian soil, which is a line that must never be crossed. You will hear again from us soon.
It should be noted that this speech is a part of United Jacaria’s international policy and has not been supported or condemned by the Jernean government.
