Architect's sketch of the future BIRCO office in Liwayway city.
EDENIA, GOAND- After voting 139-71, Parliament has voted in favor of establishing the Bureau of Intellgence, Reconnaissance, and Covert Operations (BIRCO). The BIRCO will be in charge of gathering intelligence, reconnaissance operations against other nations, and training spies. It will also be in close collaboration with the nation of Khevin's own intelligence agency, the KIA (Khevin Intelligence Agency).
Defence Minister Augustina Mariano MP has praised the decision as 'the next step towards building a strong nation'.
'We believe the establishment of our own intelligence agency is the next step towards building a strong nation, so as to avoid what happened when we were attacked by multiple nations when we left Brotherhood of the Clouds.'
Some people, though, were not supportive of the decision.
'Forming BIRCO will destroy our nation's ideals of transparency and democracy!', said Libertarian-Anarchist Party member Max Woll MP. 'Do any of you realize how the government could use this against people? We, the people, must do something to stop this!', he said, addressing people during an anti-spying rally in front of National Park.
