Speaker of the Opposition Clark announces Special Elections

The Special elections are set for December 15 of this year.  Opposition Leader Hillary Clark said

We have called for special elections this year.  The anticipated structural demise of the Revolutionary Freedom Party has taken place, and we have been constitutionally required to temporarily eject former RFP Assembly members from the Chamber due to their lack of Party status.  However, with special elections, we have arranged measures to ensure that RFP's Assembly members will be reseated in about one month, under Socialist Party temporary membership.  They are still free to caucus with themselves, and their special status will be reflected in the reseating of their Cabinet members as SP members in Name Only.  We have a long standing history with the RFP, and we seek to ensure that RFP's voters will maintain their representation in Government, even while their Party formally restructures.

The Special Status is expected to last for no more than a decade, after which the Socialist Party will negotiate with RFP Ministers for a formal merger of the two Parties.

Foreign Minister lifts Trade restrictions


Foreign Minister Donner Speaks to Kalistani Export Corporation in Ananto

The last restrictions on trade and diplomacy have been lifted by the Kalistani Foreign Minister today.  Foreign Minister Donner spoke to a gathered crowd of Export industrialists as he announced the removal of restrictions.

We are satisfied that the perpetrators of the murder of our former President Bjorksdattir have been caught and are being tried in Vanuku.  The primary Party guilty for this dastardly action is an officer of the Vanuku Naval Staff, who acted outside of official Vanuku Government Policy, organized a small secret force to carry out the deed, and then hid in plain site in Vanuku.  My Vanukean counterpart handed me the details of the arrest and trial, and we are satisfied that the Vanukeans have handled the matter in a manner commensurate with their law.

We therefore have advised the Prime Minister to lift all current sanctions on Vanuku and its allies across the globe.  We encourage the development of positive relations with Vanuku and its allies, and happily herald the end of sanctions.  To mark the occasion, the Socialist Party are prepared to negotiate a limited economic settlement with Vanukean merchants for the material and shipping quarantined during the Embargo, as a signal of good faith.  We are now prepared to re-engage the world economically and diplomatically, and resume our proper place at the forefront of the respected nations of the world.

Both policy announcements were followed by executive orders to the effect.
