Marion Holthusen raises concerns about Krehl's leadership
November 4917 (THIS POST IS BACKDATED)
Haldor- Today, the Senate Leader for the Dorvish Democratic Hosians as well as Party Vice-president, Marion Holthusen offered a press conference.
It is no secret that I am not Elsa Krehl's biggest fan. We have had our share of heated discussions on many issues. But I feel that it is important that I come forward and express my problems with her, not as a person, but as a party leader and President of the Republik. I feel that the results of the past election got to her head, as she has been more and more dismissive of concerns within the party. Take for example the bill DHD 09- Religion. Many of us agreed with certain aspects but did not with the fact that a lot of the proposals in the bill are being made mandatory. Heavily prosecuted blasphemy?!!? Blasphemy should not be allowed, but we shouldn't heavily persecute people for it. We are not a dictatorship telling our people what to think. These were all concerns raised in the party meeting where the upcoming bills were discussed. Ms Krehl ignored our concerns and still submitted the bill for approval. And we are forced to support it if we don't want to get the boot and get kicked from the party. This is just one example of how Krehl's actions are getting out of hand. She still has our support, but that could change in the near future.
The address was received with a lot of support from DHvD party members, and with shock from people outside the party. Could it be possible that Krehl could lose party support in the upcoming election?
When we at the DDN asked this question to Krehl, as well as her thoughts on the statement and the veracity of them, she refused to comment.
