President Putilova promises to support constituent republics even further during an interview, she discusses politics, foreign policy, and personal life with Vmeste: even Nadiya's nun president has a heart

Zoetergraaf, Brakav.
News source and point of view: Vmeste!
The presidential palace gracefully opened its doors for Vmeste following our request to interview with the current head of the presidential council Putilova Terezilya following the historic decision to veto the Tsarina Powers Act but also to get to known her better as she was relatively unknown before becoming president. The following segment will be solely dedicated to interview between Perekhvatkina Izabella, our journalist, and Putilova.

Izabella: Madame president, you've made quite the number of headlines recently especially on social media where you openly denounced the Tsarina Powers Act, a law that divided the general assembly and the chamber of nations. So what really pushed you to vote in favor of a veto?

Putilova: You know Izabella, that decision wasn't easy for me to make. The presidential council itself was observing the developments of the bill very closely especially since the joint mixed committee of the assembly and chamber failed to make a satisfying bill for both houses to pass. So I decided that enough was enough and placed the veto motion because it was my duty as head of the council that the clearly state constitutional guardrails banning any kind of executive power to the Tsarina would be maintained. And honestly even if the law passed, the supreme court would've struck it down because it clearly violated the constitution.

Izabella: You were relatively unknown in the Nadiyan political arena before your bid to the presidency, so tell me what pushed you to abandon your post of mayor in a rural Brakavan city for the presidency?

Putilova: You see before I became president I used to work I held the office of mayor in Brakav, which you just mentioned, but I also used to work for the Vrosnoki ministry of equality but before that I was in Radin working for their ministry of social harmony so I gained quite a lot of experience in leadership and the managing of a country. On top of that, I was the matriarch of the Blessed Matrimony church in Brakav and because of the constitution's vague relation between the state and church I was able to juggle being a matriarch and my political life. Also, the main reason I decided to run for president was the recent spreading of degeneracy that is the dismantling of Matriarchist laws across Nadiya because men apparently want to be treated as equals again after they oppressed us for thousands of years.

Izabella: Seeing that there is only 6 years left until the third confederal elections and the election of a potential new head of the council, do you plan on running for election or will this be your only term?

Putilova: That's a really interesting and trick question you got there, but honestly I haven't thought a lot about the third confederal elections. I mean we still have 6 left and a lot can happen during that time frame, the second and first Nadiyan wars when combined only lasted 7 years which isn't a lot by international standards. Anyways, where was I, oh yeah the reelection question. Personally, I'm kind of want to seek another term but only after consulting with my colleagues in the Hosian Matriarchist Democratic Party because of I was to lose or win the 5670 election, it would have massive repercussions on Nadiyan politics. My fellow council member Mariya Ulva from Haivan is serving her second term and she told that she'll seek a third term before retirement, she extremely wise and knows how to advocate for both Haivan and the people of Nadiya in the council. So yeah, reelection is on the table but I can't give a clear answer yet.

Izabella:  The international theater in Terra has been traversing a rough path especially with the recent Rildhanor war, the militarization of Vascania, and the popularization of despotism. So what's Nadiya stance on those issues? And what do you have in mind?

Putilova: That's a pretty tough subject that can't be answered in a simple interview, however I'll make sure to answer the question truthfully. Firstly when it comes to the Rildhanor question, Nadiya had already recognized the Meriath government as its own political entity the moment it was clear their fight with the mainland government was about the struggle for democracy so on that side we already got it handled. Secondly, I'm quite saddened by the rise in power and popularization of despotic to absolutist movements across Terra, the Nadiyan confederation was founded on the principles of democracy, freedom, and unity as we have the World Congress charter of human rights enshrined within our constitution in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and help build a better future for everyone. I would like to add that every member in the council is dedicated to making sure that no despotic attempts will be taken because it is our duty to preserve our status as the freest country in Terra with the intangible right to decide the future of our nation through our citizens' will. It's also because nations need fresh ideas and people in power with a safeguarded cycle of peaceful transitions so no one can remain in charge longer than 20 years.

Izabella: You got pretty good stances, huh? I have one final question so we can wrap this up and our live viewers will get an answer burning on their lips. The constituent republics have all recently launched pretty major economic plans and reforms with the NCB supplying the loans because of Nadiya's excellent debt score, does the council have any plans to support the republics even further?

Putilova: The presidential council has plans to support the constituent republics even further in cooperation with the government of Konstantinova and the governor of the central bank under Maximovna, the current goal is to lower unemployment even further with by expanding and imposing the fundamental right to work through the comission of Labour and workers rights because our constitution mandates us to do under the socialized economic model since our system requires a harmony of both the free market and socialist planning, it does require our republics to put more work onto their economic policies. As such, the council calls for the leaders of the republic to always come to us when needed because the central bank is more than willing to offer them interest free loans and even wipe off their debt as long as the funds are used correctly and they successfully pass the monthly financial evaluation and inspections.
