Bianjie will reenforce itself and come out stronger independently, finance minister Jong says
17 September 5645



In a shocking statement, Xsampan government has announced the dissolution of the Dovani Development Fund, citing financial "negatives" of the continental development aid fund. According to the Xsampan government, it will be a better option for the nations to be funded case-by-case on their projects.

The announcement came as a shockwave through Bianjie, especially its pan-Dovani political forces. State Council, controlled by the Democratic People's Coalition, who have been rather "ignoring" the continental affairs and specifically Xsampa. Finance minister, Dorgon Jong, came out before the press to speak about the future of Bianjie, its relationship with Xsampa and current projects in the nation, previously funded by the DDF. "We were never utopian about the fund, we understood the costs it creates for the Xsampan government, and that is why we were being open for other economic deals, like Luthori. My message to you all is this: we are currently working on the economic plan going forward, but I can say this with certainty: Bianjie will stand alone, and stand even stronger than before", minister Jong said.

Pan-Dovani opposition forces have been devasted by the announcement, GP's sources inside the SPP partyroom say. Socialist leader Abatai Soca reportedly has convened party's emergency political council to discuss the response and the further action. Later the same day, Soca and Gemun mayor Batu Asuke both came out to speak before the press. "It does sadden us, and we are dissapointed with such actions taken by our neighbours' government. At the same time, we understand where this comes from. What we do have a problem with, is the timing, and little to no warnings given to our projects funded by the DDF. As of currently, we are required to pause the construction of the Gemun Metro, to reconsider our own costs on this and likely renegotiate the funding with the Xsampan government, as a part of their new 'case-by-case' strategy", mayor Asuke said.

With this announcement, government coalition parties' have been rising in polling, as the disappointment in Xsampa and 'rally around the flag' sentiment grew over the issue. Collective pan-Dovani forces (SPP, PCP, ND and Horizon) have suffered a decrease, especially newly-founded Horizon party, which put the idea as its primary ideology. What most analysts have been calling an easy and predictable win for the SPP-led opposition now seems slipping away from the socialists' hands.
