MADELEINE FOUQUET NEW UFR LEADER
 
L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT
 
Tiralle, October 27, 5737: L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT has learned that Union Federale Radicale (UFR) held a leadership meeting at its headquarters in the Capital after which former Premier Paul-Henri Doumerc announced his retirement and former Interior Minister Madeleine Fouquet was selected to be the UFR Party Leader.  Asked where UFR was headed, Fouquet replied:
 

Well, as has been speculated, dissolution was considered so that activists and volunteers could move on to a political organization that could have some actual influence. We decided that before such action was taken we should look at what sort of constructive role we might conceivably  play in the foreseeable future if any.
 
So we are thinking seriously about that. There is another consideration. And this is harder to determine.  Are there other parties who represent and are advocates for the interests of those we formed the UFR to protect. We are not prepared to say yes to that at least at this time.  Certainly not in view of several votes in the National Assembly.
 
You probably also want to know about rebranding.  Yes it was mentioned but that is not where we are headed.
