PM Ajin moves ahead with National Flower Name Change, Geunhwa to be rechristened Mugunghwa
The Western Whig Prime Minister's decision to formalize the renaming was met with opposition by the Southern Whig Caucus and Tories

Prime Minister Ajin Eungaram officially declared that the national flower, Hibiscus Draniacus, would be rechristened in the national laws as Mugunghwa (花窮無).  Previously, the national flower was known as Geunhwa (花槿).

PM Ajin cited the need to "install our national symbols with pride and spirit", noting that the new terminology emphasized the longevity of the Hibiscus flower. The Empire, long acclaimed as the "immortal state" due to the longevity and continuity of the Imperial House, is worthy of the new flower title, Western Whig Caucus members proclaimed.

The move was strongly opposed by the opposition Tory Faction (派舊勳), as well as some members of the Southern Whig Caucus (人南) of the Whig Party (派林士). Speaking in opposition, conservative voices protested the change as it violated the tradition of past centuries and disconnected the title of the flower from the history of its usage.

The far-left Hongik Faction (派益弘) has voiced their support for the change, continuing their incumbency as confidence-and-supply to the increasingly embattled Ajin government.
