Sleyster STAYS inspite of VVP Polling Low

Sleyster announcing his decision to stay in cabinet

After a series of unusually high geopolitical turmoil in the Dual Republic, the responsible Foreign Minister Matthijs Sleyster has been decied to stay by  the side of his patron President Robert Kommenda. Political pundits are surprised at this move due to the recently published opinion polling low of the VVP attributed to Sleysters hawkish foreign policy attitude. He met a large amount of press representatives after a tense meeting with President Kommenda in which he ensured that his responses were a little to bold and rhetorics to brutish but nontheless necessary. Questions surrounding the Lodamese deal had an surprising answer, Sleyster and his Defense Ministry Pondon were pulled back by Kommenda who was not happy with the communication strategy of his foreign Minister. Further along the line of questioning were his interesting remarks regarding Dorvik. "I've had a call with the Dorvish Foreign Minister in which I have apologized for my misplaced remarks. This was not a good display of my capabilities. We assured the Dorvish government our continued friendship and trust in them. I've also explicitly stated that the Dual Republic wants Dorvik at the table with Beiteynu for a potential partnership in regards to regional security." Lastly Minister Sleyster was asked about his opinion on Kundrati's retreat from the Pass. "Well, you see, that is exactly what we wanted, we've made an example of them. We do not take lightly to irrational reckless independent military maneuvers in our security zone and will continue to uphold this attitude."
