WrocMUN was quite the rollercoaster! So much happened that I hardly know where to begin.
Firstly, the event took place in Wroclaw, hosted by the University of Economics. The conference was substantial, with the General Assembly room almost completely filled.
As is customary, the opening session involved sponsors expressing gratitude and delivering keynote speeches. Then came the first session of the Security Council, which, to be honest, wasn't the most riveting experience – though I've endured worse.
Moving on to the committee sessions, I found myself representing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) with a rather unconventional political stance. Despite my best efforts, I struggled to form a coalition and ended up on the sidelines with the delegate of India, who became a good friend later on.
The US delegate dismissed our efforts, confidently stating, "You can't do anything; let's leave him alone. We have the majority." While they did have the numbers, I was determined to prove them wrong and shake up their day.
Enter "Project Mayhem." Frustrated by the lack of collaboration, the delegate of India and I devised a plan to turn the tables. I left the committee sessions, made a few calls, and prepared for the next day, staying up until 2 am with the delegate of India to strategize.
The following day, during the resolution presentation, it seemed like another dull session until our resolution was called out. This was our moment.
I gave a speech against the resolution, making a bold opening statement: "We constantly see Americans with their oil and McDonald's fries force-feeding the world with their version of freedom."
It may not have been the most diplomatic approach, but it was undeniably effective. The room erupted into chaos, with people shouting, chanting, and objections flying left and right. I couldn't help but smile; it was exactly what I wanted. To add to the drama, at a synchronized moment, torn American flags mysteriously appeared in the audience – a touch of mischief from our end.
Throughout my speech, American delegates constantly interrupted, defending their "national pride." When I finished, the applause was thunderous. The voting process became intense as the Americans demanded explanations for every vote they perceived as against their country's policy. In the end, they lost, and the tale of WrocMUN 2023 became one of the first General Assemblies that wasn't entirely dull.
This experience was too thrilling not to share, and so the saga of WrocMUN continues.
This time no photo of the resolution as it didn't pass :)))
