CAIN Ends, But the Fight Against Nazism Continues
By Writinglegend
(Europeia – November 27, 2017) – Europeia has withdrawn from the Coalition Against the Ideology of Nazism (CAIN) after an internal vote to end the organization.
"The signatories of the Coalition Against the Ideology of Nazism have voted to end it," President Rach stated in front of the Senate. "As such, I would like to request that the Senate repeal this treaty."
The Senate unanimously confirmed the repeal after President Rach requested an expedited vote.
CAIN has been a hot-button electoral topic for the past six months since its creator went inactive and the organization fell into disarray. The coalition never seemingly recovered from its lapse of leadership and trudged on with its lofty internal structure. Despite past promises to revive the organization through separate and unique means, all failed and the organization fell deeper into an abyss of inactivity.
The final nail in the coffin for CAIN was not its activity, nor its structure, but the despicable actions by the creator of the organization that, undoubtedly, tarnished the name of CAIN. The creator and their actions will forever be linked to the organization. All signatories agreed that it was best to not uphold their name through its continued life, and to ensure the speedy death of the coalition.
"CAIN has [...] its legacy marred by Brunhilde," Le Libertie stated on the Senate floor while explaining his support for the repeal. This sentiment was shared by Senate Speaker Drecq.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Isaris expressed a similar sentiment when our EBC reporter inquired on the state of the coalition. "The repeal of the CAIN treaty was an unfortunate necessity in the aftermath of the revelations about the player behind Brunhilde," he stated. "CAIN's former members remain committed to standing against Nazism outside of the now defunct organization."
When questioned on what this new commitment would take the form of, Minister of Foreign Affairs Isaris described a future possible venture being an "informal agreement" where CAIN signatories and other regions can proclaim the publicly shared stance to fight Nazism in NationStates.
Both the President of Europeia and the Minister of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed Europeia's fight against Nazism, and the continued prolific role the Europeian Republican Navy (ERN) will play in that fight.
"The ERN will continue to target Nazi and Nazi-affiliated regions in its operations moving forward."
While CAIN may have ended, the fight against Nazism in NationStates has not. Europeia continues to stay strong with her values against hate speech and in-game Nazism, and will use all means to oppose these disgusting players. With an informal agreement being considered, and continued military operations, it seems that Europeia, her allies, and her friends are more primed than ever to lead and continue the fight against Nazism.
