Egelion

[Louis]

As the national government begins to flit with the idea of constitutionalism in the country, several international organizations are starting to set up shop in Altea. Last month, it was the International Motion Picture Academy, who have started looking for new places to film. Last week, it was the  Council of Localities for International Cooperation (CLIC). The most recent addition is the Human Rights Council. The council recently closed its regional office in Eroncourt, which has slowly become a place of lesser importance throughout the years. The HRC opened at Casa Trebole, an ex-estate of Egelian human rights activist Agustin Trebole. The HRC's office in the highly regarded Sorsuela District is a new sign of Egelion's transition towards more progressive policies and interests in a new era of internationalism.

The HRC's office is headed by Cristina Velasco, a human rights lawyer previously employed by the Egelian government. Her and the team of 125 workers are tasked with ensuring human rights are safeguarded and guaranteed in Egelion. their priority is to restore some sort of legislative power to the nation. While Egelion is a prominently liberal nation with no restrictive laws, there is still plenty of work to do to reform the legislative and judicial systems. The HRC is actively promoting for reforms in the nation while working with the existing powers to enact change. Velasco stated that the HRC is "focusing on promoting constitutionalism and a return to legislative power. While we are not concerned with existing abuses to human rights, we wan to expand on them instead."

Emperor Leon Alexander and the Royal Council have made no direct comment on the opening of the office, but sources close to El Capitolio say that the Emperor himself is "eager" to work with the HRC on improving the political situation in Egelion. While the nation's absolutist government comes into reconsideration, many have already welcomed the establishment of the Human Rights Council. "We are not here to prove anything or to stoke divisions. We are simply here to assist a movement that seems organically born from the passage of time. This is the most stable place where we can do our work without a pause."
