From the Office of the President of the Republic
Second Republic of Aldegar
As President of the Republic I hereby declare my opposition to the current effort of installing a monarchy in the nation of Aldegar.
Furthermore, there are a number of other items in that bill which give cause for grave concern. The proposed appointment of mayors by the head of state is undermining local democracy, and, as a woman and feminist, I object very strongly against the eclusively male form of title that is proposed for the head of government.
I hereby express my hope that this proposal will be consigned to the orcus of history, where it rightfully belongs. Should it be successful, though, I will do my utmost to reinstall a democratic republic to the nation of Aldegar. I have been a republican all my life, and will continue to be so even under a monarchy.
Elmira Otunbayeva
