Guiliano Alagona welcomes breakthrough in government negotiations
25 August 5322

Guiliano Alagona has told reporters he is optimistic that a Cildanian government will be formed in the coming days. Alagona’s comments suggest a breakthrough in negotiations between the four major Cildanian political parties. Discussions have been ongoing about the formation of a new government since the general election held last September. The vote was the first multi-party election since the 5283 Cildanian coup d'état.

According to reports, the new government will be a national unity government composed of all four parties. The past eleven months have been marked by fraught coalition negotiations between various parties. In the end, party leaders have reportedly decided that establishing a functioning government to oversee Cildania’s transition to democracy is the priority.

Alagona is expected to become foreign minister in the new government. In last year’s election, his party Alagona Faction won sixty-nine seats in the Cildanian legislature. Alagona is a former trade union leader and railway worker. Although the party’s ideology is not entirely clear, Alagona claimed throughout the campaign that his priority was a “democratic future for Cildania”. Alagona Faction is part of the Alliance for Cildania political grouping alongside the centre-right Constitutionalist Party.
