Following an introduction of multiple MP candidates speaking on specific issues, we come around to the main event, the official introduction of Guillermo Alamilla as the DFL's presidential candidate for 1678.
Starting off the introduction is Jean-Luc Gambetta, DFL parliamentary leader.
Tonight, we have come here to listen, to those in government and to those without. It is perhaps the most solemn commitment of this party, and, in fact any party, that we should listen to voices of those we serve. Our duty as public servants is, above all else, to hear the people, to give voice to the voiceless. Not to sooth concerns, to address them. To empower the people to address them. Of course, we do have another item on the agenda tonight, the introduction of the duly elected candidate of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party. When selecting a presidential candidate for a democratic party of the people, it is incumbent that we find a candidate who understands those values. Someone who will, lead the people not from a mountain top into the direction he shapes, but with the voice of the people in his mind and into the direction where they can shape themselves and their society. I believe we have found that man.
Without further adieu, it is my honor to present to you the next president of Alduria, Guillermo Jos Maria Alamilla y Martinez.

I thank you, Seníor Gambetta, and all of you, and I do aspire to live up to the expectations you've all placed in me.
Alduria, is a unique place, and we are a unique people. We have suffered so much, flu, war, and horrible crimes. We have come from so many nations and survived and scraped and found our home here. We are bonded into one people, not by blood but by the sweat of our brow and our steadfast belief in the promise of this land and our shared ideals. The promise of Alduria stands as hope to all Micras that, no matter the storms and arrows that may be thrown from the universe onto us, that democracy and liberty shall not perish from this earth.
And we have created a constitution and we have secured democratic elections for the future. And our first government has even taken some steps to ensure our freedom. We have enshrined legal protections for all regardless of their gender, race, orientation, or any other immutable characteristic of humankind. We have finally nationalized our oil industry, so that the fruits of this land may be put to the benefit of it's people.
And we may cheer that. But, friends, this is where the hard work begins. It is so easy for the privileged classes to give theoretical legal rights with the stroke of a pen. However, it is putting those rights into action that takes a mass movement and people that can and will defend their rights in all spheres. We have just begun to build our sturdy little society and already the wolves are baying at our door. They turn ourselves against ourselves, into a people we don't recognize, categorizing and rating the new arrivals that land with the same spirit and toughness and hope that we all had arriving, to say who may our may not share in this promise. They are, as we speak, making plans to disintegrate the public trust and public resources and divide it among their patrician cabals. They speak of rights before the law, but where are your rights before your employer? Where are your rights before merchants and banks? They speak of security, but where is your security from disability, from hunger, from unemployment? They speak of the water crisis when one of the worlds greatest rivers flows in our own backyard and is so polluted none can use it. They speak of a growing economy, but where is that in the provinces?
You who came hear, I ask you, is this promise you came for?
No
Did you come to work your life away for the benefit of landlords and bankers?
No
Did you come to choose between groceries and a doctor?
No
Those of you who work in the oil fields, do you toil and scrape at the ground so that the highest bidder can profit from your labor?
No
Those of you who teach our children, did you come here so that you could not know what half of your students have even been educated?
No
Those of you of advanced years, did you come here so you could slowly wither once you are no longer useful to the rich and powerful?
No
Those of you of minority backgrounds and orientations, are strictly legal protections enough when you face discrimination and harassment in your workplaces and public accommodation?
No
Those of you with children, did you come here so that you can never see them?
No
Did we come here to become the people who turn us away?
No
Alduria can be better. We can transform ourselves into a society befitting the Aldurian people. I pledge to you to make it my life's work to turn Alduria into the place we can and should be. To truly secure the promise of Alduria for all of us and our children, for the sake of all mankind.
