Calls for Doberman to be excluded from TV debates after treason allegations
16th April 2020

A petition calling for Lauchenoiria First leader Paul Doberman to be excluded from further TV debates has gathered over 30,000 signatures after an incident during last night’s debate. The incident occurred after Doberman accused Communist Party leader Élia Agramunt of being a Kerlian sleeper agent, which he has accused numerous female politicians of since the civil war. Doberman went on to imply that Prime Minister Alvarez should be “shot for treason”.

While answering a question on the funding of mental health services, he accused Agramunt of being a member of the Aurora Programme, saying “we can’t trust any female with a position of power after last year. Charissa Clarke wanted to enslave us men in this country, just like the weak excuses for males they have north of the border. The far-left traitors who support the Kerlians in secret are led by Agramunt, who is probably another one of these Auroras!”

Alvarez interrupted Doberman at that point, replying: “Mr. Doberman, I find your witch-hunt against women in this country to be deeply disturbing. My government has looked into the Aurora matter extensively, and I can confirm that these agents are no longer any threat to our country. While I may disagree with Ms. Agramunt, I find these unfounded allegations offensive, and they are proof of what Ms. Wright [Feminist Party leader] was saying earlier: we still have much work to eliminate sexism in this country.”

Doberman responded by laughing, and pointing at Alvarez, shouting: “you’re one to talk! You’re already a slave of the Kerlian state, taking orders from your evil little Councillor wife! Nobody really believes that Hale wants reform, or any of them, it is all a trick to get us to let down our guard, and it’s a shame really that you can’t be taken out and shot for treason!”

At that point, the moderator stepped in, cutting off the mics of all leaders and cutting to a commercial break, though arguments could still be heard in the background unamplified. The petition, set up last night, asks that only candidates who “are committed to behaving in a civil manner” are invited to future debates. In light of the debate, the Liberal Party has gained in the polls, but Lauchenoiria First’s numbers remain steady, indicating that those who already supported LF are not put off by Doberman’s behaviour.
