Tsargrad - Prime Minister Horvat has, two years into this government's term, sacked all Savez! ministers in government. This effective collapse of the Third Horvat Ministry results in a uncertain situation, as Horvat will now enter negotiations with other parties in the lower house to see if there is still support for the KDU to continue governing. The move comes after continued domestic pressure, including the threat of the Emperor dissolving parliament. After several talks between Horvat and Emperor Vjekoslav, as well as talks within the KDU party itself, Horvat has decided to end his partnership with the liberal Savez! after just two years of coalition government. 

Imperial Treasurer and Savez! party leader Božo Sedlar has called the move "irrational", citing that his party was looking to continue deep cuts into social services and government programs to "make the country's ability to earn and provide in the long run a top priority." Recent polling suggested that Savez! voters were somewhat positive of their party's efforts to cut budgets and make the country more financially healthy. These cuts and reforms did however hit the poorest Deltarians the most, resulting in rising poverty levels and great societal pressure. 

In his remarks to the press, Prime Minister Horvat promised Deltarians that "the KDU will reevaluate government policy and seek to create a better balance between the social safety net and financial responsibility." Observers have noted however that many of the measures were passed by Chamber majority, something that will likely be hard to reverse. Horvat himself is now exploring the possibility for the Nacionalni to rejoin his government, supported by another minor party. It is unlikely however that this will succeed, with nearly all oppossition parties hell bend on new elections after two years of liberal government. If elections were held today, both the KDU and Savez! would lose a significant number of seats. 

If negotiations with others fail, Horvat will likelt face a motion of no confidence during the next session of the chamber. This would, if passed, result in new elections for the lower house and a potential end to his gamble and political career.
