1st Parliament of South America

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The right to protest is a fundamental one. If this government caves into pressure from reactionary elements and uses force against the demonstrators then it will be a black day for democracy, for civil society and for the rule of law.

Mr. Speaker,

This is formal notification that I resign my seat in this parliament effective immediately. The state of relations between Atlasia and South America is at a low lever, and my loyalty is to Atlasia first, and not South America. As such, I don't feel that the state of affairs is correct. It's been an honor to serve with you, and I will have fond memories of our time together.

Yours,

Rpryor03 MP

[Türkisblau]

The first of many reactionary buffoons to fall by the wayside. Good riddance!
