Alec Benaglia dies after brief illness aged 77
17 June 5332
The former Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister died at his home in Sur municipality, Aqildar.
Alec Benaglia has died at the age of 77 at his secondary residence in the municipality of Sur, 20km from the capital. His death comes after a brief illness that appeared just before the election, which had caused him to stand down as a deputy and give his spot on One Flag's electoral list to another. Despite his advanced age, up until the last year Benaglia was known to be in good health. He was an active member of the Council of Deputies tennis club and had recently celebrated his 55th wedding anniversary to his wife Marija Benaglia. Mrs Benaglia released a statement confirming the news and saying that they had been 'madly in love' the whole five-and-a-half decades.
The former PM's death has shocked many close associates and led to a tributes from across the political spectrum. One Flag leader Margerita Giudice called him a 'great friend' and said he would be 'dearly missed'. Yan Despott, who worked alongside Benaglia for over a decade, said he was 'shocked' by Benaglia's death and asked supporters to pray for his family. One Flag has announced that a painting of Benaglia will be portrayed prominently at the party's headquarters as a mark of respect.
Benaglia was chosen as leader of an all-party coalition after the restoration of Cildania's democracy. He was the first PM in Cildania's modern multi-party democratic history. As Prime Minister, he oversaw rapid constitutional change including the end of the old monarchy and the instatement of Ġakbu Maria as Grand Prince. He was a stalwart against corruption and a former prosecutor who took down several organised crime bosses in southern Aqildar during the tumultuous period before democracy was restored. His feud with fellow One Flag founder Denzilee Depares culminated with the later's sacking as a minister. Other achievements under his premiership include the changing of the national flag, significant agriculture and ecological devolution, the Regulating Nobility Act of 5323, the reduction of the legislature to 300 seats, the creation of public radio and TV and the formal recognition of climate change by the government.
Benaglia's passing has also had an effect on the supposed 'B-innom' conspiracy theory, started by far-right conspiracist Lażżru Alessi, which postulates that Alec Benaglia was working from the inside of the Cildanian government to expose and combat Beiteynuese interference. Benaglia's passing, therefore, has caused shock and fury among its true believers who are now suggesting that Benaglia was poisoned. B-innom, short for 'Benaglia innominate', has attracted a small group of followers who believe Beiteynu pays the Order of Saint Sebastian to attack Yeudis so they can excuse a future Beiteynuese invasion of Cildania.
