Socialists clarify the Kalistani President's position on the Keymon War
Ananto City, Kalistan
October 3291

The General Secretary of the Socialist Party of Kalistan issued the following statement from Party Headquarters in the Capital today.

We support the President's Unilateral (as in, without any sort of consultation with his governing partners) declaration of the end of Kalistani hostilities.  Fortunately for our President, who is apparently now issuing statements on the War, our military engagement ended officially more than half a year ago.  We are in the process of evacuating our forces from Keymon and will have them home by the year's end.  We also will refuse to authorize the sending of Kalistani regulars into this conflict.  It is a wash for us:  The Majority Party has not passed a bill to fund a modernization of the Kalistani military as the Defense Minister asked for at the start of this campaign, and a matter of fact, has not made any comment whatsoever within Kalistan on the Conflict except to commit us to it without consulting the Socialist Party, as required by law.  Where was the Patriotic Rebellion when the SP's Partisans were being gassed to death in the fields and the forests of Keymon, in a war that he and his Party committed us to but refused to fund, supply or man?  He didn't even issue a comment on it in our assembly when we asked for guidance on the matter.  So of course we agree with his statement that Party militias will no longer be participating in Keymon's War:  That has been our, as the only active Kalistani Party in this conflict, policy for more than a half a year. 

As for the law he proposes which outlaws our militia, once more, our Country's Constitution expressly permits our Party to maintain the Militia, and any law passed to the contrary is expressly unconstitutional.  Our Party's militia will remain activated when it returns to Kalistan, and we will step up our recruitment efforts if need be to protect our rights as a Party against unconstitutional and arbitrary authority.  A simple majority in the Assembly does not give a Party the right to circumvent the Constitution of our country.  We encourage the President of the country to familiarize himself with the Constitution and refrain in the future from passing laws which directly contravene its provisions.  Thank you, that is all.
