Huang Zitao Joins Nation in Mourning Song Yi After Slaying
Huang delivered remarks in National Conference today


Today the leader of the Lotus Party and Leader of the Official Opposition made remarks in the National Conference following the assassination of Republican Party Leader Song Yi in Rural Shu yesterday. Speaking to the legislature, Huang said in part:

I know all my colleagues in this building, and all Indralans are mourning the loss of Song Yi. It's a deep loss for the country because Ms. Song was an individual who had a lot of resilience and a lot of guts, and she was relentless in her fight to make a better world and a better Indrala. While we may have had policy disagreements, anyone who has debated with her over the years could not possibly deny her love for our country. But we also must be salient of the sharp rise in political violence recently, with the acid bomb which took the life of Lai Wiming, and this most recent horrendous attack. While we grieve the loss of Ms. Song, we must redouble our efforts to participate in our political system with civility. To do anything short of that would be to dishonour Ms. Song's legacy.

It is expected that a state funeral will be held for Ms. Song in the coming week.
