TEXT

Considering that the Secretary-General, Filipe Oliveira has made an unsound interpretation of our Constitution contrary to the principle of common sense, having been incapable of seeing the joyful side of life, attaining a certain irony, offending his detractors, understanding the people, and seeing that he surrounds himself with repressive regulations and remains convinced that the citizens of Orange are only "to be administered", not free and capable people who made the decision to live together;

Considering that until now, all the acts which have come from his hand are based on contempt for the motivations of people who disagreed with his actions;

Considering that, viewed in this light, the things he so well excuses in interpreting his particular vision of our Constitution are contrary to common sense, especially that one does not speak of offensive political opinions, only of protecting certain saviors of the country.

Now therefore:

1. The Council of Floresters condemns this attitude, the policies, and the actions derived from the leadership of the Secretary-General and considers them inappropriate for an Orange government with common sense.

2. The Council of Floresters withdraws the confidence it accorded to the Secretary-General and suspends his government.

3. The Council of Floresters shall immediately vote to name a new Secretary-General.

4. Until a new Secretary-General is named, the Council of State shall take charge of the affairs of the Principality.
