Mr. Prime Minister,
Do you agree with the statement by the Minister of Justice that the people of Atlasia are "pigheaded isolationists"?
I do not believe the people are "pigheaded isolationists." no. And neither does my Minister of Justice.
The truly dangerous, anti-South American sentiment in Atlasia is not a majority, but it is exceptionally vocal. While their views do not constitute the majority of opinion, they do, however, constitute the majority of political discourse.
As Prime Minister, I ask the silent majority of Atlasians, those who want to see their nation brought back from the brink, to speak up and push their leaders to change. My heart hurts for the millions forced to endure the long, socialist nightmare that is Atlasia who lack the political pull to change their country or the financial means to leave it. The thoughts and prayers of all my Cabinet, including the Minister of Justice, lie with those many millions.
You've accused many of us of "anti-South American sentiment", yet you've just vocally attacked our government and made an attempt to influence our domestic affairs with your demagogic cal. It's up to the people of Atlasia to decide what and how to change, not someone who grew bored and switched to another game. If any Atlasian leader said what you've just said, you'd probably be outraged, and rightly so.
Personally, I have no problem with coexisting, and I'm open to have diplomatic relations if we make the process workable (after all, it's all technical issues, not political ones). However, statements like this and of your Justice Minister's are making many of us highly sceptical of your intentions and attitude. Can you be surprised?
Beside, I'd like to point out that you've launched your own political career in Atlasia and gained a lot of valuable experience there. You decided to switch games, that's OK, but that's very low of you to take such a dump on the place you came from yourself. We are not your enemies and we wish you no ill. I, for one, I'm happy to see Mock Parliament board working again. Is this so difficult to find a little good will?
