Official Statement by Izhitska Ednota on Voluntary POW Farm Camps
A spokesman for the party gave this address before the media in Hrabohrada.
While it is regrettable, it is a certain fact that Izhitska Ednota has found itself in the position of being less able to care for its citizens than a government has any right to be. Because of this, we have been forced to take actions which in any other time would appear drastic. We have decided to include nationalist POWs in our work programs until the time when they are properly processed through a legal system.
While most Izhitsans in the Izhitska Ednota Administrative Zone have been instructed to continue the same work they were doing prior to the end of the war, socialist organisation has dictated that some of these people, particularly the unemployed, be moved to more important fields of work, such as agriculture. This latter category is what has happened to certain of the nationalist POWs. They now work on collective farms, where they are surrounded by their comrades, and have above-average rations, as long as they contribute to society.
There are those who criticise this as involuntary servitude. This is clearly a result of being socialised in a capitalist system. In the Yachese Administrative Zone, he who does not work earns no money, and therefore does not eat. However, Izhitska Ednota provides its citizens with some amount of food whether they work or not. In which society does a person have more freedom to choose whether or not to work?
However, this is not the time to quibble over minor differences in belief. This is a time for action, and as administrators of Izhitsa, we are doing as much as we can to solve the food crisis before it gets out of control.

Regarding Foreign Election Observers in the Upcoming Izhitsan Constitutional Referendum
Noting the Fleuroix offer of election observers (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=1654.msg21694#msg21694) and applauding the spirit in which this offer was made, the Izhitsan Federal Assembly and Parliament of Yach formally invite election observers from all democratic nations to monitor the upcoming referendum. This offer includes any nation with strong democratic norms where the common people have the ability to choose their leaders and govern themselves. Special consideration may be given to those from nondemocratic countries who have nevertheless fought greatly for democratic rule at home or abroad. Those who wish to participate may apply for a visa through their government or directly through the Yachese Election Commission.
We hope to demonstrate to the world that Izhitsa has entered a new era of stability and popular rule.
Signed,
Antek Dzhavid, High Lord of Yach
Vladen Korzhef, President of the Federal Assembly of Izhitsa
