The Federal Chancellery in Dunburg

---

Dunburg - With a short ceremony held in Karlottenburg Schloss under the watch of the Federal President, Ms. Erica Kleinfelder and Mr. Jorg Berger completed the "Chancellery Handout" which was decided at the beginning of this term, installing for the first time ever in Dundorf a so-called "tandem Chancellery". This arrangement was negotiated after the federal election and the subsequent constitutional dilemma: in Dundorf, usually, the leader of the largest party is designated Chancellor and tasked to form a coalition, but this time NDZP won the most votes and DSDP the most seats, and then-President Offenbach lacked the precedent to settle the matter. The two parties resolved the issue by adding the "tandem" clause to their coalition agreement.

Mr. Berger becomes Chancellor for the third time and will complete the remainder of this term, but he has already signaled that his long career as the DSDP Leader will come to an end after the next election; on the other hand, Ms. Kleinfelder becomes Vice-Chancellor and inherits Berger's former Ministry: the Foreign Office, but she didn't release any information in relation to her tenure as NDZP leader. In his inaugural address he said that the higher education cooperation project with Egelion will be finalized and tasked the new Foreign Minister to restart diplomatic relations with Baltusia.
