Inauguration Speech: Heid attacks Catholicism and Islam

On saturday, a strong wind and snow prevented Peter Heid from holding his inauguration speech after he had been re-elected as President of State by the new Avareelian Council of State. But yesterday, the sun shined over Aivenburg, and Heid held a speech that no one had expected.

Instead of praising socialism and Avareelia, he talked about "a long way that is still to be gone" and did not shrink back from distinct criticism. "Equality mustn´t only mean lawful equality, it has to be more than that. We will fight against all forms of discrimination against people, especially minorities. Discrimination against others is an eyesore and we do not intend to rest until it can´t be seen any more."

Heid urged catholic and muslim organisations to accept women as equal persons. He menaced them that otherwise, they won´t receive the Public Organisation Support any longer, a monthly sum of money that is paid to organisations that contribute to the improvement of the Avareelians´ quality of life. "We refuse to accept that groups compelling women to wear special clothes and aiming to prevent them from playing an active role in the group and in society merit to be supported by Avareelia." He also declared the council´s intention to start a public anti racism and discrimination campaign called "They Are Like You" and the introduction of the Tolerance Award.

Concering foreign policies, Heid announced the continuation of the Peace and Safety politic. The orbital defense system Shield of Red Stars Avareelia has begun to develop four months ago shall be ready for action in summer, but only to be used for defense. Heid confirmed the Avareelian "no" towards ABC weapons and weapons of mass destruction. He said he was "very glad that our ally InfoSoc has followed us" and hopes that the good relationship between the two states can go on as well as that Avareelia can find some more close allies in future. Generally, he was more than content about the nations of the Eurasian Republic and their "friendly attitudes towards us".

Official results of the Avareelian national election

Today, Avareelia has elected a new Council of State. The official result of the election is:

Democratic Socialist Party: 44 seats Liberal Capitalist Party: 19 seats Social Democratic Union: 18 seats Party of Avareelian Christs: 9 seats Party for an Environment-Councious Way of Life: 8 seats Asian Union for Internationalism: 2 seats Anarchist Opposition: 1 seat (all: 101 seats)

Compared to the election of September 2005, the DSP and the LCP have won the most seats, while the PAC and the PEWL are the main losers. Franz Glashütter, Avareelia´s most popular political scientist, has found an explanation: "During the last four months, the DSP has improved Avareelia´s international situation, and our political freedoms and civil rights are seen as better than they were in September. On the other hand, our economy has not really moved forward, that´s why some people have looked for a party that offers an alternative economic system." Peter Heid, the old and most probably also the new President of State (the president is going to be elected on January 21, in the first sitting of the new council) said: "I´m quite happy about this result. There´ve been a lot of changes for Avareelia within the last four months - the new region for example - but obviously, the people accept these changes and think that we´ve done a good job all in all. The DSP and SDU together have 62 seats - so the 19 seats for the LCP are not nice, but no real problem. The clear majority of the Avareelians identifies itself with socialism."

On January 21, the president is going to present his and the DSP´s ideas for the future. The Eurasian Telegraph will send a team to Aivenburg, Avareelia, and report about all important news.

The date for the next national election in Avareelia is May 19, 2006.

Avareelia celebrates 77 years of independence

Yesterday, December 20, it has been 77 years ago that the Avareelian revolution of 1928 ended with the new country´s official declaration of independence and a first constitution that came into operation to prepare the first national elections.

As in every year, it was the President of State, yesterday, for the second time, Dr. Peter Heid, who held the official Independece Day Speech. Having praised the revolution of 1928 and socialism, Mr. Heid also entered into future Avareelian foreign politics: "The revolution of 1928 is over for a time that is as long as a life of a human being. Only some Avareelians still live who have witnessed this great day, and only some of those can remember it. But neither is the spirit of the revolution forgotten nor are there no more revolutions to take place in future - not here, but in ohter countries, which still exploit the people. It´s our main task to keep the light of socialism, of justice, of equality, that shines in Avareelia since 77 years ago, shining. Let us hold it high, so that even those living far away may see it, let us talk about its warmth loudly, so that even those living far away hear about it, praise it whenever you can, so that all people in the world want to have it. But we must beware of making this fire a fire of war that doesn´t warm, but destroy. A revolution in a country can´t be successful if the country´s people doesn´t want it."

In the presence of the near national elections (January 19, 2006), Mr. Heid thus once more intended to win the people for the Democratic Socialist Party´s policy of a peaceful and self-determined world revolution which is the same policy Avareelians know from the nation´s days in the region of Politikforum.
