DOUMERC AGENDA
 
L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT
 
Tiralle, October 23, 5734:  After a staff meeting on the progress of current legislation, Premier Doumerc was asked by L’Examinateur Heraut if the Union Federale Radicale (UFR)  led government would simply be a renamed Third Des Ambrois Government, and he responded:
 

A fair question given the same parties are involved.  And I do not think any big changes or breaches with past decisions are likely.  However the emphasis will certainly be different.
 
Why? Fair to say much of the two Des Ambrois Governments was about securing human rights guarantees and shaping the system of government. With that now in place, what we hope to do is focus on improving some sectors of the economy and establishing some solid trading partners.
 
In both cases we will be  examining what we have had working in the past and what opportunities seem ripe for fulfilment.  Expect that to keep us busy.

 
Asked by L’Examinateur Heraut what kind of military posture he and UFR were considering, Doumerc replied:
 

We want to trade with most everybody and are not looking to be the political purity arbiters of Terra. Rather the opposite, we have respect for national sovereignty absent outright abuse of its own citizenry or aggression against others. But we do need to be able to defend the Republic and are examining our capacity to do that.

 
Asked if he felt like the UFR was in a good position to lead the nation for quite a while, he stated:
 

Frankly, no.  The support for our twelve parties fluctuates considerably. Very considerably.  The election put us in a position to form a governing coalition. Whether those conditions will recur in another election cycle is not predictable today.
 
So what we intend to do is make the most of the time we have to positively influence the path the Republic will follow.
