Tsargrad - The new Imperial Congressional Building was revealed by Minister of Domestic Affairs Budimir Papoči, Prime Minister Lazarescu and several oppossition figures this afternoon following a year of near fulltime construction. The new building, which will house the Senate, Imperial Chamber and the Central Electoral Commission, was constructed due to constitutional ammendments that enlarged the lower house from 310 to 460 members. The old congressional building, nearly 800 years old, was not suitable to be increased in size and modernized. A Imperial Commission was installed to lead the creation of the new Congress, with the task to construct the new building before the next general election and on a 8 billion DTE budget. 

Prime Minister Lazarescu called it a "great day for our democracy" and hailed the modern features of the building, which will likely house the legislature for decades to come. The old congressional building will be repurposed into a museum of Deltarian democracy, with the new Foundation for Deltarian Heritage to become the owner of the complex and responsible for maintaining its status as a national museum. While the new Chamber looks rather empty, it will house the first session of a new and enlarged lower house next year as the general election looms. Some members of the communist RKP were escorted away from the initiation ceremony of the new congressional building as they shouted. The RKP has been against the construction of the new building, calling it "decadent" and accusing the government of focussing on symbolism "to mask the lack of real change these last 4 years."

The Senate will initiate the official functioning of the building next week as they will hold their first plenary session in the new Senate Chamber, continuing the tradition of upper house elegance and style that it is known for.
