Following the outrage of the Finance Minister and threats by the New Endralonian People's Party to bring down his government, the President of the Confederation Nic Stefan has issued a public statement, urging a calm and level headed approach.
Nic Stefan wrote:I understand that there has been miscommunication between certain members of the cabinet and, undoubtedly, this is regrettable. However, that said, the answer is not to bring down the government which we have spent an age trying to put together! I ask the Finance Minister, Henrik Hunyad and the rest of the NEPP to keep their heads, retain a considered outlook and see the term out. We have managed to complete three-quarters of this session, there is no reason we finish it completely. The Confederation needs proper and stable government, not ministers who will resign at the drop of a hat.
While the President remained diplomatic, others in the Social Democratic Party were less so. Notorious PSD backbencher Katarina Sárközi was quoted describing the situation as 'a fucking nightmare' and the Minister of Finance as a 'turdmonkey'. Although, she will likely be sanctioned if the comments are proven to have come from her, Miss Sárközi represents the wider feeling in the PSD that the New Endralonian Peoples Party had been planning to betray the government all along and that the Finance Minister's predecessor was right to describe governing with the party as a mistake. All of this creates a difficult situation for those, like Head of Strategy Ike Taro, who were extremely critical of Artur Voicu and Ionatan Groza when they resigned in protest at the actions of the NEPP.
