Questioning the French Government
HebronGazelle
Yesterday, I contacted the CP of France, as I wanted to ask them a few questions regarding the 3 countries attacking France. Unfortunatly, she was unable to respond as she was busy(they are getting attacked by 3 countries). However, the french CP did manage to get someone to answer my questions. Here is totorob's answers to my questions.
1. Who is to blame for breaking the pact between you and Poland, which now means that Poland will attack you?
Well I heard that were Polish fighters who launched the Rhone-Alps RW. The fact is that one week later the Poland suddenly woke up and ask us to NE them. This happened the 6th September evening just after Asiah election. The first thing that she has done was to ask the congress about Poland treaty because the 7th is the date of the treaty renewal. But before the end of the vote (24 Hours) Poland attacks. So they can say that we broke up the treaty but it seems that they didn't want to renew it.
2. Do you believe that France will survive losing all of their regions, or do you think you will lose all regions?
We have already been wiped out in the past and we came back so we will survive. Each time we make the Poland busy and yesterday Teden took back some regions while Poland NE us.
3. Do you believe that your allies still trust you? Do you trust your allies?
Our true allies still trust us. Well we still have our best friends from Terra on our side and Eden countries know that we always fight on their side. Proof is that yesterday a lot of Eden Countries fought in Paris (We thanks all of them). So well our friends still trust us and we deeply trust them. We are not the first to break a treaty and we will not be the last. When you see how Poland talk to us (prophet is really a kid who loves insulting people) and what the treaty was, no ally can blame us for breaking it.
4. What is your opinion on Poland?
Poland could be an enemy like the others. But they are always talking to people like s***. There is no negotiation with them, even for one region instead another for example. A treaty with them will never last because they never listen people and just want to decide for the other. The previous president make the choice to have a congress but this treaty was dead quite the start. Finally, in my opinion (not the French government one), The France should not even listens Poland as long as prophet is responsible of the FA.
5. In your time as president of France, do you hope to build a friendship with countries like Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom?
I can clearly say that we will not talk with Poland or UK. Poland for the reason quoted above. UK because Kravenn is a d***. His lies about our congressman in US, his quotes out of context and his troll, make that we cannot seriously consider to become friends with UK. Last days he sent us a message to "improve our relationship" and just after he lies in the press. The UK government don't see that Kravenn doesn't make them credible.
According to the French, Kravenn has not helped with a certain article published 2 days ago. This means that we will probably not be talking to France any time soon, when they get their regions back. France also won't be talking to Poland.
People have claimed it was Poland's fault for starting the RW, while others say it could be France's fault. Despite these claims, France has given another reason why Poland are to blame, and why they are nonnegotiable.
I would like to thank Asiah425 for getting someone to answer the questions, even though she was busy, and totorob for actually answering them. Thanks guys!

Kravenn definitely does not like France : ) With Spain, Macedonia and Poland attacking them atm, I don't think we need any relationship with them at all for now.
Nice interview. It is lovely to see that the CP of France is so diplomatic.
It is not the Cp dude, its only me : D.
Kravenn > The whole of France.
True fact
In answer 3, I forgot a not in "We are NOT the first to break a treaty" but i guess you have understood.
I just added a NOT, I must have missed it when I read through really quickly.
Brilliant article mate and great to see their side of the argument...however i do have to comment on what they say about kravenn costing us any chance of peace with France -
God bless you kravenn
I will answer :
It is quite sad that France never accepted that they broke strasbourg (especially when I asked to them to respect it).
Following that, I lost faith in France and during my CP term : I was ready to talk with them. Sadly : official orders were to harass me as much as possible (PM - irc - UK forum, ...).
About PM that I sent to the CP : it is a standard one (except from french CP which received one in French) : Even some of our enemies answered but France not
French CP is inmature, childish,... One single citizen, even if she's MoFA, cannot question the entire policy of a country. What If I call you FrogEater? Will you ban UK from entering Eden for ever ( had UK that interest at all ) ? Grow up 1!!
I guess that my opinion is shared by lot of french citizens but again i'm not CP only MinCom.
@Kravenn : avec ce que t'as fait tu croyais qu'on allait te répondre avec des fleurs ?
Bah, quand tu as un gouvernement (lorsque j'etais CP) qui demande d'harceler des CP adverses. Faut pas s'étonner que j'aille une réaction un peu hostile.
Alors que je désirais avoir aucun contact avec ce gouv : j'ai reçu des insultes racistes de la part de certains de vos citoyens.
Maintenant, avec ce que j'ai publié : vous avez encore plus de raisons de me détester (ce qui me pose aucun probleme). C'était à charge de revanche.
Vous avez bien hai Lyne quand elle est partie avec la caisse
Kudos to Totorob, good answers and thanks for taking the time mate.
If you ever need to contact the UK but not Kravenn, feel free to PM me 😛
We're not unreasonable or unsympathetic, and some of us do remember the strasbourg days fondly.
Lies from the beginning to the end : )
NE has been sent in 1 minute after you've broke the treaty. You've fought against us in RA as never before - guys check the highest score of Kicker78 for that day. 26kk against us in RW, really?
About my behavior : DD
I've never insulted anyone. I sent about 2 PMs to asiah, I can make screenshots of it and show you there's absolutely nothing insulting, just the info about the breaking the treaty : )
French CP simply lied to you = )

This is ALL my conversation with asiah425, kill me but at which point I'm a kid who is insulting others?
It is only excuse to break the treaty because "EDEN had a plan against Poland, thats why we've broken the treaty".
I'm embarrassed.
I'm not really talking about your exchange with Asiah. But I am aware of the ones with some of the previous CPs.
You said that you are not responsible for your MU members who started RA, but the french government is responsible for all the guys who fought there.
Anyway it was never in the CoD or even in our battle orders.
The French stabbed us in the back when we needed their help i would be against any negotiation with them.
You will find nothing. Maybe I wasn't pleasant, but never insulted tho. Stop slandering me for your faults.
@prohet : funny to see you lying here : "This is ALL my conversation with asiah425" what about the previews messages ?
You talk about an Eden plan but France is not in Eden
What about your plan ? http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/smeekileaks-the-one-plan-for-france-2118209/1/20
@ Prophet009 : " Maybe I wasn't pleasant,"
You're never pleasant, that's the problem.
What I find most amusing in the french tone is that they seem to feel victimized by this whole story. Leaving aside the fact that France broke the treaty by refusing to NE Poland when Poland requested (any other point or speculation about the timing or motive is irrelevant), they seem to believe that anybody else should have a strong justification for attacking France and that the invasion of France, any invasion of France, is a demonstartion of utter malice.
They obviously didn't share the same concers when along with Canada and Germany they proceeded to invade the UK for quite some time. That's alright, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Also, they seem to think that anybody else has any interest whatsoever in reaching any agreement with France and improve relations,as opposed to the idea that nobody gives a flying faq, much less the involved parties, about France.
They also seem to believe that the rest of the world will see the french scenario and argument about this and that, as a primary focus of attention and interest, as opposed to the idea that not a single faq is given by anybody in the world, with the exception of the tactical advantages that cromanians could eventually spot, at a precise moment, in paying some attention to RWs as draining dmg.
And finally, there's the worldwide french network of friendship and possibilty of cooperation with a varied number of countries, which again they seem to believe that stands at the same level as some years ago when they could count on the complicity of many countries, which today, has obviously shrinked to Germany (currently not giving a faq and invloved in the Baltic), and... who else?
Certainly not Paraguay, Brasil, Austria, Ukraine, Italy, Ireland, etc....
And we all know why.
Just check some of our battlefields today and yesterday, you will have the answer 🙂.
Kravenn is a D*** x1000
Prophet is a good guy , he knows what he's doing . All of you French Mobsters' are just looking for a scape goat . Unfortunately just like before you try to convince people that it wasn't your fault. EDEN have to help poor little france 😉 Maybe get all those French players that go around knocking off people's BH's to fight for France . Would be quite funny tbh .
Last thing , Thanks for the questions , its good to know what both sides think.
@prophet: stop the lies. You can change Battle Stats:

I've only used EB*2 like every good player and this battle in RA was not important. Poland won 87-34.
Still it was said to not supporting (and by this hitting) in any of our RWs Kicker78, by this the treaty has been violated. In other way, why should we sign the treaty where ordinary French players can hit 26kk influ in RW where they are NOT supposed to hit? This doesn't make sense, or you're respecting the treaty and abstaining from the hitting against us or you're breaking it by doing the opposite.
I could only apologize for the date, in fact it was earlier than this successful RW later
ok, Prophet.
For using my EB*2, i've prefered to fight for my True Patriot Medal, and I cant choose another battle. But you're right.
Wow the polish complain a lot ^__^
Wow the french cry alot 😉
You admited that you broke treaty because EDEN wanted you to attack Poland. Why do you still need to blame Poland for what was your plan? You got all teritories according to treaty which narrowed corridor to Polish suplies and EDEN attacked 4-5 places at once to cut them off which was done but for a few minutes only. The battles were long and close and yes many countries were involved. It were not "Friends" helping France it was EDEN attacking Poland. Still you failed so far. Don't lie now.
Actually the plan was good and almost worked. I think what we ve learned is we need broader corrridor now - its bad news for France.
@Kamoris2011 silly Europeans ^__^
you should all move to Canada o/
