Xsampa lifts the travel ban on Amudim; PAX passes bill, 295-269.
------------------------
March 3rd, 5668
------------------------
Controversial is an understatement to describe this news. Even since tensions arose between Beitenyu (now Amudim) and Xsampa, the travel ban was quickly put in place to ensure infiltration never occured. After the Bargas Chenpo in 5599, many expected the travel ban to never be lifted. Evidently, those expectations were shattered when a political campaign began to lift the ban. First offered by the Sub-Committee of Tourism, and eventually turned into a full bill, it was supposed to be passed last December, but delayed to March. After a surprise endorsement from Sherab Aurousseau of all people, it seems whoever was in the fence about it threw their support towards the bill (and subsequently forcing their representatives to PAX to vote in favour). First, let's just understand what happened.
The vote came close in PAX, 295-269. Needless to say, it shows how controversial this bill has been, with nearly every district in Metz-Leonid having a staggering negative 84% approval of the bill. For understandable reasons. It especially came as a surprise when Comrade Jamma came out against the bill, arguing that lifting the travel ban was a bridge too far. While clearly disappointed with the results, Comrade Jamma has signed the bill into law and was quoted with the following.
The Custodian was far more supportive, praising the humanitarian aspects (an increasing trend has been noticed of Custodians using their platform to spread humanitarian values). Whatever the case, the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs and the Sub-Committee of Tourism have announced that Xsampans are now legally permitted to travel to, and from Xsampa to Amudim (provided that Amudim laws allow it), and Yeudis from Amudim are legally allowed to enter the country. However, a travel advisory has been given to any Yeudis entering the Karosawa Canton, with Metz-Leonid in particular being defined as a "be careful" situation due to strong anti-Yeudi sentiment in the city. Metz-Leonid Public Security has affirmed that any discrimination that occurs will be rooted out, and that they will work closely with the Sub-Committee of Equality, Diversity and Equity to ensure the safety of all visitors.
The most significant thing about this however, is the fact that for the first time in a very long time, this can be the start to at least properly reconciling. While it depends on Amudim over whether a formal apology at the Memorial for the Victims of Nuclear War can occur, the possibility is there. And even then, individual Yeudis can always make the trip to apologize. Even if they weren't responsible.
