PREMIER MARVAUX PREDICTS PSD LED GOVERNMENT
 
Chamber of Deputies, July15, 5631: After the recent elections, the 390 seats in the Chamber of Deputies were allocated 190 to the Parti Social - Democrate (PSD), 101 to the Union Hosienne -Democrate (UHD) and 99 to the Federation Canrlle (FC).
 
In the ranked choice election of Governor General, the PSD’s Bruno Lefebvre led the first round which eliminated FC’s Paul-Henri Bourmont, the Foreign Minister, but was defeated by UHD’s Claudette Barrineau, the Justice Minister in the second round.
 
CLAIRON PICARD asked Premier Roxanne Marvaux where things were headed and she responded:
 

Although the PSD came close to a majority running on less foreign entanglements and more government benefits, it missed by a few votes. My Administration, a coalition of FC and UHD, has been having internal discussions and concluded the best course was not to try and stay in office despite public rejection but to inform the Governor General we favored her asking the PSD to try and form  a governing coalition.
 
The FC terms to join such a  government would probably center around protecting the status quo of church and state and no wholesale withdrawal from treaties and international agreements.  It is quite possible the PSD may find that the UHD can offer a better deal.

INTERIOR MINISTER BELIEVES DEMONSTRATIONS WILL SUBSIDE SOON
 
Interior Ministry, July 22, 5631: CLAIRON PICARD asked Interior Minister Marcel Malateste if the PSD demonstrations at the Chamber of Deputies and Governor General’s Palace were under control and he replied:
 

So far so good. The Gendarmes are simply maintaining a perimeter, and the demonstrators have not turned into vandals or rioters as yet, and since they are on the verge of getting what they want, we feel like forceful dispersal will not be necessary.  The Silliers National Gendarme Rapid Response Force is in position if circumstances change.
 
I have personally informed the Parti Social - Democrate (PSD) Leader, Bruno LeFebvre, that Premier Marvaux has asked Governor General Barrineau to ask him to form a government so we are expecting tensions to ease very shortly.

 
Asked what would be Union Hosienne -Democrate (UHD)’s terms for joining a LeFevre government, Malateste replied:
 

We would need some sort of assurances wholesale industrial nationalization does not occur.
