SR 113-35: Condemning Ayacucho Massacre Resolution (Passed)

[West_Midlander]

Aye

It's not like Castillo isn't a criminal given that he attempted a self-coup. Regardless of left or right, it's inappropriate, undemocratic, and unconstitutional, and calling for his release is taking at least a mild stance in his favor, in addition to rebuking the constitutional, but also troubling, current regime in that country.

Also, if we took the same stance as this amendment proposes to favor a rightist regime it would accurately be termed Atlasian imperialism.

Nay

[West_Midlander]

I don't know if it's our place to shield a wannabe dictator.

I object since I think the full Senate should vote on this although I will likely vote present.

[West_Midlander]

Comparing Allende and Castillo is a stretch and is in fact whataboutism. I wonder if the GMs could say if any socialist countries are interested in taking Castillo if we don't end up taking him.

[West_Midlander]

Fair enough. I will withdraw my objection at this time.

[West_Midlander]

Present
