Maria Reina-Rodriguez, recently elected Speaker of the Socialist Party, fields questions from the Opposition during Question Time
As the Statrican scandal continues, the Premier of the Republic has been forced out by his own Party. Abdulaziz Al-Khali has claimed responsibility for the decision to send Kalistani Militia units into Statrica, which led to the demise of former President Ana Barajas and over 600 of her Comrades. In the ensuing crisis of Confidence, the Premier has been ousted from Leadership and has been forced to resign his Suldanor Seat.
In his place, the Socialist Party has named fellow Suldanor Deputy Maria Reina-Rodriguez as the new Speaker of the Socialist Party. Reina, 36 was first elected to the Assembly 12 years ago. Reina is a member of the Society of Brethren, and her portfolio has included work on foreign relations and Industry and Trade. Being elected Acting Speaker sets Reina Rodriguez up to be the hands on favorite to become the next Premier of the Republic, and will signal a significant change in direction for the Republic, especially in foreign diplomacy, as well as tone. She was notably critical of the more aggressive foreign policy of Premier Al-Khali, and her election signals that the Party is ready to try a new approach to association with our neighbors. She is known for favoring more work on the Non-Aligned Movement, and supports detente with Lourenne.
What shall become of the new Speaker is now in the hands of the President.
What shall become of the old Premier, now that he has resigned is similarly uncertain: Al-Khali has been forbidden from fleeing the country, and a Justice convened Grand Jury has been empaneled to determine if there is evidence to bring criminal charges against Al-Khali. For his part, the normally talkative Premier has not responded to our request for comment.
