A solemn looking Chairman Kalinin announces the National Day of Mourning.
Today it was announced that tomorrow will be a National Day of Mourning in Trigunia. Chairman Kalinin made a short announcement on television stating that "the passing of this Trigunian statesman is a true loss for Trigunia, mr. Alekseev was a true-blooded Trigunian and we owe him a lot." The Chairman, who is also the leader of the Worker's Party, often clashed with Alekseev in parliament, the two being the main rivals within the Trigunian political scheme. Even though their long rivalry the current Chairman seems to have a lot of respect for his former nemesis. Kalinin also stated that his party will refrain from putting forth proposals to parliament for the coming weeks, to give the KDP some time to settle internal matters. "The loss of such a giant is a great blow to the KDP and I will wait for them to restructure, once everything is settled the trumpets of battle can blow again and the political forces may clash once more" said mr. Kalinin.
