EC-ELECTIONS THREE COMMISSARS REJECTED FOR ANOTHER TERM, DIARMAIDO REMAINS DIRECTOR

While Diarmaido was still able to secure just enough votes it seems as if he will have to work under difficult conditions in the future. In a political maneuver some even call an internal coup the former Commissars of Foreign Affairs, of Trade and Industry and of Defense were kicked out of office although their re-election was expected to be a formality according to previous statements by the Executive Committee. In this article we will try to explore the reasons for this situation and to give an overview on the unexpected new members of the EC.

Over the course of months it became clear that many members of the CK-LK are dissatisfied with Zardugals foreign policy. Critcism mainly revolved around conflicts between ideological beliefs and the pragmatic rather neutral foreign policy. Many wished for Zardugal to show its colors rather than abstaining from geopolitical questions and tolerating or even partaking in international power structures contrary to our nations ideological foundation. This point was especially made in speeches held at the last general assembly of the CK-LK but now it seems as though the members of the EC did not listen.

As a demonstration of power the Supreme Council elected the following "Triumvirate" to be part of the EC
Commissiariat of Defense: Augusto Kraĉo, retired general, during his time in office he was famous for complaints about insufficient funding and outdated equipment. Still he was an esteemed advisor on military matters during the last years and is known to be a co-operative colleague as long as his interests and concerns are taken into account
Commissariat of Foreign Affairs: Mario Gropo, laid off diplomat, prominently showed inadequate and aggressive behaviour during talks with Vanuku's officials a few years ago. Therefore he was deemed unfit for the job by the Supreme Council. It seems the members have changed their mind and even thought a promotion is in place. He is by far the most infamous recent addition to the EC
Commissariat of Trade and Industry: Prado Migdalo, former official at the Commissariat he is now in charge of. Most are not sure what to expect of him as, according to CK-LK insiders he is an opportunistic careerist.
