- 13.- Rumors about the purchase of Vigor Shipyards by its U.S. subsidiary (Euskalduna North America), have triggered the stock price of Euskalduna Ontziolak SA in Bilboko Burtsa and in major world stock markets where company shares are traded. Apparently the company would be looking to launch its business on the West Coast while getting a good position to qualify for Cascadian Navy contracts. Although unconfirmed, it is believed that the total amount of the transaction would be about $150 million probably financed with a cange of shares.

- 17- Minister of Foreign Affairs, Leire Gabilondo, has traveled Cascadia to participate in the celebrations of their 8 years of independence.

- 18.- This afternoon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Leire Gabilondo, has made a stop on her visit to Cascadia to provide a brief press conference at the Euskadi's embassy. The reason for the press conference is to give a first analysis of the situation created following the Allied States of America's renunciation of local legal jurisdiction over its citizens in foreign countries. "The government has long analyzing this matter and we dont want to take a hasty decision. We will formally ask the start of bilateral talks to try to reach an agreement because we want to further prolong the excellent relationships we have with ASA. However, we will not give up our sovereignty and we will study the measures we could take to prevent future problems."
