It is to my greatest regret that I must make the following declaration.
In the taking of German Citizens as Hostages during the recent standoff at the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin, the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil committed an act of terrorism. As such, Italy must respond to such an act as is necessary.
As per the decision of the King of Italy, affirmed by his Royal Council and the Coronal Convocation, The Kingdom of Italy designates the Federative Republic of Brazil to be a perpetrator of State Terrorism, and the government thereof to be a terrorist organization. Furthermore, for their cooperation and coordination with the Brazilian Government, the Argentine Government is at this moment recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism. As such, the following Measures are to be taken:
- All Foreign Officers, Diplomats, and government liaisons in the borders of Italy who hail from The Republic of Argentina are at this moment expelled from the country, to be returned at such a time as the Kingdom of Italy finds it palatable to allow them to do so. They will be treated leniently and granted safe passage as with keeping the customs of diplomatic privilege, it is requested that any embassy staff expelled from your nations are extended the same. They have 48 Hours to leave the country before they are declared Persona Non-Grata, after which they will be considered unregistered foreign agents, and therefore arrested and tried for Espionage, which carries with it the death penalty in this nation.
- All foreign officers, diplomats, and embassies in Argentina are to be withdrawn. We request, as we offer your officers, safe passage from your nations, in keeping with the customs of diplomatic manner and privilege.
- All Argentine and Brazilian aircraft, military, government, or civilian, are at this moment expelled from the airspace of the Kingdom of Italy unless explicitly cleared by the Regia Aeronautica.
- All Argentine and Brazilian oceangoing ships are at this moment expelled from the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Italy, and will be subject to seizure should they encroach upon Italian Territorial Waters.
- Any Argentine or Brazilian Naval Ship which threatens the security of the Kingdom of Italy's core territories by entering the Tyrrhenian Sea, will be viewed as a declaration of war.
- All Brazilian Nationals currently residing within the Kingdom of Italy have 24 hours to report themselves to an immigration official for immediate deportation.
God's Peace be Upon You,
Conte Leandro Albrici
Chancellor of the Kingdom of Italy
Kingdom of Italy
