The newly-elected Chairman for the GNP, who will most likely become Prime Minister of Dranland
if his party wins the upcoming elections, has today talked about his plans. "The deficit of the federal
budget has been steadily reduced by GNP governments ever since we took power. It is crucial to continue
this path, primarily by conducting further spending cuts. But at the same time, we have to keep an eye
on the people, who should be able to keep the vast part of their hard-earned money. We promise to cut
taxes for all brackets of income if we win the elections."

Minister Lee will not resign

In the meantime, Minister for Infrastructure Lee Jong-Kyu, who had been criticized by the PDM for his remarks
on Scientology, refused to resign from his position. "I will not step down because I expressed my opinion on
this dangerous cult", Lee said. Prime Minister Jack Caddock (GNP) said that he fully backed Lee.
Moreover, GNP Spokesman Harry Lancaster announced that Lee would "certainly be part of the next GNP
cabinet", provided the party wins the elections.

New Government Will Consolidate Budget, Says Minister of Finance

Minister of Finance Jean-Jacques Villeroy (GNP) has today presented the National Budget Plan to the members of the Parliament.
Villeroy said that it was "crucial to reach a surplus before we can give the people the promised tax relief". In detail, he
announced that the cabinet intends to cut the state's expenses from 733,915,000,000 DRA to 553,915,000,000 DRA.
The highest cuts will be made in the area of infrastructure, foreign affairs and finance: "With regards to infrastructure,
we can justify the cuts with the fact that we privatized all public services, which allows us to massively reduce spending.
The cuts in the other areas will mainly be conducted by reducing superfluous administrative structures and red tape",
the minister said. "Reaching a balanced budget is a patriotic duty. We must not put the sake of future generations
at risk by spending way beyond our capacities", Villeroy concluded at the end of his speech.

GNP MPs applauded his speech and came out to praise Villeroy's plans. Majority leader Federico de la Ruíz said that
"the minister can be sure of the full support of the GNP faction for his ambitious and sensible plan." Speaker Larissa
LeCoultre called all parties to back minister Villeroy's plan: "We must reach a broad consenus on this issue. Cutting
spending to give the people a tax relief is a very important goal in this tenure."

After the successful vote in the Parliament over the budget proposal of the new government, officials of the ruling Grand National Party came out to express their satisfaction with the imposed measures. House Speaker Larissa LeCoultre (GNP), who had prior to the vote urgently appealed to the MPs to approve the National Budget plan, thanked all factions for their support: "We have demonstrated unity on this essential issue, something that hasn't happened too often in recent times." Federico de la Ruíz, GNP majority leader in the Parliament, said that the imposed spending cuts were "overdue". He also praised the consensus of all parties on the budget: "I am very content that everyone backed the plan. However, this does not change anything about the ideological differences in other areas of policy."

At its annual convention, the ruling Grand National Party celebrated the achievements made during its 18-year-rule which started in 3246 with the election of Larissa LeCoultre, who ruled until 3254. During her tenure, all state owned industry and infrastructure was privatized, the economy was massively deregulated and the monarchy was re-established. She was succeeded by Jack Caddock, who continued her reforms and ruled from 3254 to 3263, when the current Prime Minister Luigi Delgado took over the lead.

Prime Minister Delgado held the first speech at the event and praised the reforms conducted during the 18 years of GNP governments. "We created more freedom and prosperity for our nation, and we can be proud of these achievements! Let us maintain the current course and emphasize our key values: Free Market, Free People, Free Country!", he said to the 5000 cheering supporters who had attended the convention.

Minister for Internal Affairs Lee Jong-Kyu, who was elected Vice Chairman of the GNP alongside Hans Kaltenberg and Marit Jensson by the delegates, gave the second speech. Lee especially espoused the principle of secularism: "Religion has its legitimate role, but it must be radically separated from the state in every aspect. It is a private thing and has no place in public institutions."

Government's Tourism Initiative Causes Protests
March 3267

The federal government has announced plans to boost tourism by inviting private investors to build around 500 new hotels across the nation. An official spokesperson said that the government has already subcontracted with multiple hotel chains from abroad and that the first 100 hotels will already be completed within this year. "Dranland has an astonishing nature, but we have failed to make use of it in terms of tourism until now", the spokesperson said. For this purpose, the government has leased a vast amount of public lands to investors who intend to build luxury hotels on Dranish soil.

The first of these hotels has been completed on in Iglesia Mayor. The new Palm Beach Hotel was officially inaugurated by Minister of Environment and Tourism Marit Jensson (GNP) on March 15. It is located at the eastern beachfront of the capital city and boasts room for 2000 guests at the same time, twelve restaurants, 30 bars, 100 luxury suites and provides jobs for about 2500 people. Minister Jensson said at the inauguration that she looked forward to the grand opening which is going to take place in three weeks. She thanked the private investors who sponsored the projects and pointed out the large number of new jobs created through the project.

However, the vast project did not remain unchallenged. Outside the Palm Beach Hotel, 300 people, mostly left-wingers and environmentalists, protested against the government's plans and urged the cabinet to scrap the plans. They fear that the natural beauty of the landscape will be destroyed through the construction of the hotels. The spokesman of the protesters, Herman Jones, said that he hopes for "support from the citizens, who don't want our nature to be destroyed for mere profit". In a statement on the protests on a local TV channel, Prime Minister Luigi Delgado (GNP) defended the project and emphasized that it would "create thousands of jobs and help our economy". He also referred to a recent poll which shows that a majority of those questioned (51%) supported the plan, while 40% were opposed. 9% did not state any opinion on this issue.

PM Delgado Sees 'no option' for Raising Retirement Age
October 3268

Delgado: "Four more years are reasonable"
delgado.PNG (182.67 KiB) Viewed 2194 times

Prime Minister Luigi Delgado (GNP) defended his plans of raising the retirement age from 60 to 64 years during a parliamentary debate. While the opposition regards the reform as unnecessary, Delgado claimed that it was "unevitable to make a moderate adjustment. Four more years are reasonable, and the people know it is necessary. There is no option." The Prime Minister continued by saying that "the pension system can only be maintained by conducting this reform in time." In his conclusion, he remarked that "everyone who votes against this reform must be aware of the fact that he is putting our future at risk."

The ensuing debate was marked by heated controversies between MPs of the coalition and the opposition. Majority leader Federico de la Ruiz (GNP) slammed the opposition for opposing the reform. "I know that it does not sound appealing to make the people work four more years, but we must not deny the necessity of the reform. This is populism", he said. Janine Trichet (GNP), the chairwoman of the Parliamentary Council for Pension Issues, spoke out in favor of the bill as well. "We might lose some support in the polls by imposing these reforms, but sometimes one has to make unpopular decisions", she said.
