Niloofar holding a press conferenceBeiteynu banned temporarily from using the canal amidst ICBM launches, elections to be held soon: are they trying to kill the Beiteynuese economy?Ramsāhreza, Aldegar. Shocking news came from the Aldegarian Canal Autonomous Administration as the current administrator, Niloofar Tahmasb, announced in a press conference the ban of any and all Beiteynuese ships from the canal including civilian ones as a retaliation from the launch of Intercontinental ballistic missiles toward lourenne that could've have possible harmed Aldegar proper, Niloofar defended her decision by declaring,
The Beiteynuese government, even tho not affiliated to Beiteynuese companies and their affiliates, has shown a level of aggressiveness we didn't expect coming from them especially through the launch of ICBMs a radical and dangerous decision that also showed their true colors to the world, as Yingdalan economists stated, we agree to the idea that Beiteynu is just a fragile house of card with an overly indebted private sector that surinvests in foreing markets to the detriment of their own national market this analysis has also allowed us to see clearly that in order to crumble Beiteynu you must make the bubble pop and finally give the final blow to the collapsing sand castle.
Such as throwing stones in a house of glass, the Beiteynuese have been a major threat to international peace and order especially recently with the Lost Souls war and as such it is out duty to cut the hydra's head by closing its source of wealth because people and soldiers are replaceable but a country's economic future isn't.
Shortly after the ban was made official, all ships affiliated with the Yeudish Neset from known companies like Hadayim, Birco and Petrik Hadayot, etc, seeking to use the canal for commercial purposes have been automatically denied and forced to take another route, they were partially allowed to refuel but other than that no Beiteynuese boat managed to cross the bleu throat, the Aldegarian shipping market on the other hand is taking a massive hit with the share value of Twilight Tides Corporation sinking to an all-time low of 0,23 ACR, a whopping 80% decrease from its previous price, the Ministry for Finance was quick to react by buying massively shares of the company to ensure its survival even tho it's a state-owned one.
Finally, the Aldegarian High Electoral Commission has announced the start of the political campaigning season for the upcoming Aldegarian General elections of 5373 even amidst the Lost Souls war, the battle seem fierce between the Union for a Technocratic and Futuristic Aldegar and the National Coalition for Social Harmony in Aldegar as the former advocates for the maintaining of the corporationist policies while the latter calls for the refocusing on social matter such as welfare and social programs in order to ensure a good Prosperous economy and a happy population while respecting and upholding worker's rights.
