LADINFALL---- High Chancellor Wilhelm Stark today called for calm after tensions between Eskkya and Carpathia have flared up in the past few weeks due to the murder of a Carpathian tourist family in Eskkya. These murders were likely inspired by the comments of the former Home Minister of Eskkya, who called the Carpathians living in Eskkya along with other ethnic minorities as well as migrants "vermin". Many experts in Varenthia, however, believe that the movement of Eskkya to an authoritative state in the name of "progressiveness" or "equality" since its merger with Straethe is the likely cause for the attacks.
"This kind of inhumane action only comes after there has been a systemic move towards making the non-native peoples in a nation, well inhuman. Eskkya's Merger with Straethe completely tilted the political alignment in the new nation-state. The actions they take in the name of the environment or ensuring equality for all are by all means authoritative. The Ex-Home Minister's comments only solidified the underlying view in the nation: if you are not of the native majority and do not completely and absolutely conform to that majority you will be removed."
This statement from the Federation of Political Scientists, highlights the main grievances that the High Chancellor sought to address today. Eskkya itself has slipped from a prospering democracy to a nation who only seeks to upset its neighbors with continuous actions that seek to establish it as an official police state.
"Varenthia sees itself as mainly neutral party, we only want peace to continue throughout the continent. Both sides have their merits in this crisis, however this entire crisis has been fabricated out of proportion actions on both sides. Eskkya with its ever growing list of archaic laws that only seem to demean and isolate immigrants and minorities that has lead us to the initial incident. Meanwhile, Carpathia continues seemingly unproportional military responses to these kind of incidents.
This is the offer and I hope both nations at least take me up on the offer; Varenthia is willing to host a multilateral meeting between Carpathia and Eskkya int the hopes of establishing some sort of common understanding that we can use to defuse the situation. The Varenthian National Investigative Agency is willing as well as to send its own investigators to be a neutral source of information in Eskkya to provide a clear unfettered source of what happened. I personnally trust that there are independent investigators doing their job to the best of their ability, but in the name of diplomacy I believe the best course of action is to defuse the situation and affirm the rest of the world's worry.
These murders and the other incidents surrounding Eskkya has only and completely hurt its reputation, and it should not allow for this nation to be impacted by war or anything terrible. We can not allow for there to be more suffering on either side. There must be calm, deliberate, and transparent communication in the days to follow or else the worst will happen," spoke High Chancellor Stark at a press conference during a working trip to Ladinfall today.
The Vice Chancellory for Foreign Affairs has reportedly sent the offer to Carpathia and Eskkya through diplomatic channels, interested parties such as Lomarre were invited as observers to the meeting.
