Statement of the Chairman of the National Legislative Assembly of the Sovereign State of Nenggog, Onyx Adrien Blackhawk, regarding the recent events in Chestonia.

Fellow friends!

Today, I address the people of Nenggog and the international community with a resolute and clear message on the unfolding events in the Republic of Chestonia. In a decisive reaffirmation of the rule of law and democratic principles, the Sovereign State of Nenggog firmly supports President Bubsimo as the legitimate leader of Chestonia and unequivocally condemns the actions taken by former President Taj Clayton that constitute an illegal coup.

President Bubsimo’s ascension reflects not a mere change of leadership but the embodiment of constitutional integrity and the unwavering defense of democratic rights. His commitment to upholding the principles of free expression, fair representation, and the protection of individual freedoms resonates deeply with our own national values and those cherished by democracies worldwide.

Conversely, the actions perpetrated by President Clayton—staging a coup d’état, initiating an indefinite emergency through Presidential Decree, and subverting the lawful processes of government—represent a stark violation of constitutional order and the cherished norms of democratic governance. This brazen affront to the rule of law and citizen rights cannot, and will not, be tolerated by the international community, nor by the people who demand truth, justice, and accountability in public affairs. Of particular concern is former President Clayton’s series of constitutional violations targeting the rights and freedoms of marginalized communities, especially his measures aimed at restricting LGBTQIA2S+++ rights. By enacting policies that undermine the freedom of expression, personal autonomy, and equal protection under the law, President Clayton has inflicted grave harm on the very fabric of our society. His attempts to suppress the rights of LGBTQIA2S+++ individuals not only contravene the constitutional guarantees afforded to all citizens of Chestonia but also betray the fundamental humanitarian values that we cherish globally.

The Sovereign State of Nenggog calls on all nations, international organizations, and regional partners to join us in condemning this unconstitutional coup. We urge our friends and allies to support the restoration of rightful governance in Chestonia, restore order, and ensure that the democratic institutions remain unassailable.
