Lackmann Cabinet revealed

In an official press release, the presidential chancellery of Theodora Lackmann released the cabinet to be appointed in the coming days. It seems like Lackmann was able to gain VVP support as seen in the appointment of Matthijs Sleyster as Foreign Minister again. Additionally there are other bureau- and technocrats appointed who've been counted among supporters of other ideological groups in the cabinet. Whats noticable is the lack of party affiliation in the infographic. While we would have liked to ask political pundits about the potential messaging in the press-release no one wanted to talk to us so we have to share the opinion of our own reporters. We think that the government wants to appear united and is trying to seperate executive responsibility from the -until now- disastrous term of the Nationalrat. Many were hoping to get some news on the future of the parliament but there was no plan laid out in the most recent press-release. On queries, the responsible Director of the Nationalrat said that "until the executive order of president Lackmann regarding the temporary freezing of parliamentary activity is out of effect we can only sit here and wait, I know just as much as you. Many MP's are also still in detainment in the facilities of the SaSA or other military forces." There are many surprising appointees in the cabinet such as the more regulation friendly Soosmann, the indicted von Merenbürg as well as the TKP party leader Jerry Thaller-Dinkelberg. We have asked some of them about their future in the government but they all sent us back to the presidential chancellery.
