Selucia threatens to leave NAM meeting
The decision comes after the treatment given to the previous foreign minister, Megara Kondou, by the Kalistani government


New Selucian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nadia Galvius, explaining the Selucian position

After the words of Megara Kondou, former Minister of Foreign Affairs until today, in the Kalistani chamber, and the reaction of the SPoK, the central government of Selucia has decided to take action on the matter.

In conversations between the Kalistani Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Caesar de Selucia, it was announced that Mrs. Kondou immediately resigned after the controversy to her position as minister of Selucia, in order to avoid harming anyone in the coming days, justifying her resignation under the maxim that "ignorance does not exempt the fulfillment of the law".

The former minister would have broken the law of Kalistan by speaking in its parliament without prior permission, in a debate related to the support of this nation to the candidate countries to the World Congress, among whose points it was debated to withdraw support for Selucia. The Minister intervened in the session, showing her disagreement with these actions and asking her NAM partners for collaboration, in order to get a neutral nation placed in one of the largest world organizations. Words that did not sit well with the SPoK, which immediately requested the enforcement of the espionage law to deport the Minister to Selucia, given that she was in Kalistan to negotiate the terms of the NAM.

Selucia's government has reacted immediately, announcing the return to Selucia and the voluntary resignation of Megara Kondou as Selucia's representative "so as not to damage the image of the nation" and appointing Nadia Galvius as the new minister. It was she who made the following statements from the parliament of Selucia:

"We understand that Kalistan wants to enforce its law, and that as Minister Kondou has said in her resignation, ignorance of the law does not exempt her from compliance." However, why was the minister not stopped before entering the parliament? In the first place, and secondly, can we really be considered as a nation that practices espionage? Are these the bases on which we are going to settle the Movement of Non-Aligned Nations? It does not make sense to continue, if such accusations and similar measures are to be launched on allied and friendly nations. Although we understand that the Kalistani law prevents any external representative from speaking on its camera - something that we are not going to value, even if we are in disagreement - there are ways and means of doing things, although Minister Kondou had to be duly informed of how to carry out her actions, she did it with the best intention in the world, to continue defending the NAM as the best way she knew, to prevent Selucia's candidacy from falling down. And we find this unpleasant situation between our two nations. For this reason, and in protest, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Selucia will not appear in Kalistan to continue the talks. Instead, they will remain until further notice or new elections, Consul Opis and Caesar Nerva, which will be in their legitimate right to take the actions that are appropriate. "
