Gallia Denies Reparations
NEW LONDON - Our government received a response from Gallia to the request of reparations last Sunday. Gallia denied any responsibility in the damage done to Bretonia during the war and refused to pay any reparations. This is contradictory to the Leviathan Accords, which the government signed with Gallia after the Great War. Effectively, Gallia has violated the Leviathan Accords. What does this mean for the Bretonian citizen?
The most obvious consequence is that our government has now imposed a joint embargo on Gallia together with Kusari and the Crayter Republic. The Charter of Interstellar Law has been updated and all traffic to and from Gallia is banned. Bretonians who were unlucky to find themselves stuck in Gallia must first seek help from the Bretonian Embassy in Gallia, where they will be able to obtain a special, one way pass to return home. It is not clear for how long the embassy will remain in operation, but it is assumed that our government may soon withdraw its diplomats from Gallia. The missing reparations excluded, the embargo is not expected to leave a noticeable mark on Bretonia's economy, because there was simply no time for trade between Bretonia and Gallia to develop enough before the embargo was imposed.
However, there were unforeseen ripples. A parliamentary debate on the new state of affairs devolved into a row this morning, and the Houses had to reconvene. Foreign Secretary Lady Mountbatten was accused of incompetence by the Social Democrats and the Liberals, because her foreign policy plan failed to secure reparations. Lady Mountbatten reminded that the foreign policy plan was largely the idea of Prime Minister Hall, which was when everyone in the parliament turned against each other. Violent disagreement was noticed even inside the prime minister's party, the Whigs. Order was restored a few minutes later, and the parliament reconvened peacefully.
After numerous attempts, we were able to get in contact with Prime Minister Hall this evening. She told us that everything was under control, but had no other words to share. We hope that she is right, but we wonder if she had an option to say anything different. The BBC will continue to cover this story as it develops.

I stand amongst the Bretonians and their stalwart allies that the Royalists, who are obviously war criminals, have been granted shelter by the new Gallic Union and have possibly influenced the new government. But despite this saddening realization that has unraveled over the past few years, our Crown shall remain strong in maintaining proper law and justice across our reaches.

Petty squabbles of confused sheep, awaiting their true Shepherd to return. The Royalists within the Union shall awaken from their slumber when King Charles returns and the people shall join them. Gallia shall be one, and soon Sirius shall be one with it under the rule of God.
