Prime Minister Benaglia moderates BW agenda as Depares and Alessi sidelined
2 January 5323
Prime Minister of Cildania Alec Benaglia has taken a notable turn to the centre since becoming head of an all-party coalition. Alongside Minister of Defence Margerita Giudice, the two highest profile members of cabinet from Bandiera Waħda seem to have dropped key hard-right policies promoted by the party in the past. These include opposition to women and homosexuals in the military and support for desecularisation and an abortion ban. Giudice in particular, nearly purged from the party for her 'moderate' views a few months ago, is now seen as setting the agenda for the cross-party coalition.
After months of haggling and dispute, Benaglia was finally agreed as the new head of government while Bandiera Waħda's nominal leader Denzilee Depares has taken leadership of the Ministry of Education and Culture. Concerns over Depares's hard-line views had made coalition discussions extremely difficult, as no other party would agree to the proposal of making him the country's new PM. Thus Benaglia, the party's deputy leader, became a compromise candidate but has since turned out even more moderate than was originally expected, reportedly ignoring instructions from his own party boss Depares while spending much of his time in meetings to work out political compromises with the other parties. Depares has been spotted leaving cabinet meetings visibly frustrated, as his proposals to reform the education system are met with hostility from other parties and a lack of support from the other BW ministers. Infrastructure Minister Yan Despott and Science and Technology Minister Ġann Calafato have been caught up in the spat and sources close to both men suggest they have been trying to work as intermediaries between the party's split camps.
Depares is not the only senior party figure to be sidelined. Lażżru Alessi, Bandiera Waħda's most far-right politician was dropped from the party's electoral list for his decision to challenge Denzilee Depares in a since-cancelled leadership review. Now he faces expulsion from the party for historical statements about Yeudis, LGBT+ people and women alongside other members of the party viewed as 'disreputable'. Under current trends, Depares's rollercoaster political career could soon be at another crossroads as frustrations mount and the party moves away from his brand of hard-line conservatism.
