Public Uproar after Liberty Operation against Zoners
New Thessalonica - Yuma: As more news reaches the public about Liberty's recent Operation in a hostile "pacification" of Planet Erie, public opinion of Liberty has dropped drastically as protests breakout outside of the Liberty embassy in New Thessalonica. Quorum representatives call the true purpose of the battlecruiser "Yellowstone" into question, and presidential candidate Joshua Ellis once again lead a protest at the embassy gave us his comments outside the embassy.
"Once Liberty got on the planet, they did not discriminate nor truly investigate Insurgency defectors who may not have even been there! They gunned down Zoners and refugees alike! This is a major abuse of force against innocent civilians while Liberty looks to hunt down every last single Insurgent until they can line the heads around the equator of Manhattan! With our involvement of relief efforts in the refugee crisis with Bretonia, Liberty might see us as next! Liberty has no liberty!"
With this public outcry, the Ministry of Defense has issued an official statement by Trevor Westbrook to address the situation,
"The Crayter Republic in under no threat by the Republic of Liberty. Our two nations have no reason for aggression towards each other, and have been standing allies to great result. Though the reason as to why Liberty acted as such against the Zoner colony of planet Erie is unknown at this time. The CIS will be looking into the matter. That is all. For those we left behind."
With this event, analysts predict that Candidate Arron Stone will lose favorability in the upcoming election due to his running partner Jennifer Delaney. Despite their recent publicity tour, her involvement, and possible ties, with the Liberty government bringing her under speculation. Possibly stalling the Stone campaign and give rise to one of their rivals. As Joshua Ellis gains support since the announcement of the Republic Liberty's trade agreement with the Gallic Union.
