| Statement from the Cabinet on the Conspiracy to Manipulate Our Democratic Process |
The Cabinet wishes to express its complete disappointment in the actions of long-term and trusted members of our own community and several citizens of the East Pacific. The conspiracy to manipulate the Coalition's democratic process, by slowly and methodically getting foreigners to apply for citizenship with the intent to form a voting bloc in the November 2014 General Elections, is unacceptable in the South Pacific and in NationStates. It is sad that members of our community would even contemplate this egregious plan, simply because they do not like two members of the Cabinet who were elected openly and fairly.
The Cabinet has initiated recall procedures against Belschaft for his part in devising this conspiracy, and against God-Emperor for his knowledge of it and failure to notify any proper authority. We do not believe anyone who would entertain the conspiracy to manipulate elections should hold the office of Justice on our High Court, nor should they be a member of the Committee for State Security, our central security institution. It is as well disappointing that the Chief Justice would think of using his power to invalidate a treaty for political purposes. We are also disappointed with several members of the East Pacific's government. Enacting the aforementioned conspiracy would have been a violation of regional sovereignty at the highest levels. We find particularly shocking the leadership role of Todd McCloud, currently a Vizier in the East Pacific, and a former forum administrator and election commissioner of the South Pacific. We hope that the East Pacific will respond in whatever ways are available and appropriate according to their laws. On our part, we have made the collective decision to declare the following individuals persona non grata, and therefore ineligible for citizenship, as a precautionary measure until after the November elections:
Thank you, The Cabinet of the South Pacific Former Delegate of the South Pacific

Shameful.
Have the investigations into the citizenry been completed? Would freezing citizenship applications for the time being until all individuals involved are weeded out be taken as a precautionary measure?
We have not discussed freezing citizenship applications. We will be taking a closer look at newer citizens just as a precautionary measure, but most of our efforts will be directed at preventing all PNG individuals from gaining citizenship.
Naturally there might be a review of our security review processes, bu stillt we will remain an open region. Former Delegate of the South Pacific

Would the government be considering whether or not to initiate legal proceedings against Belschaft and/or God-Emperor on the charge of treason?
Quote:Code of Laws Article 6.1
Treason charges were considered at some point in the course of our internal discussions, as were other legal options. We aimed at having a thorough discussion. I cannot confirm or deny at this point whether we will pursue such charges.
