Kooi-Oppensteiner resigning.


The reform government, which has been paralyzed by the ongoing political dynamics regarding the Clenonberg files, hastily prepared a press conference only attended by the president from the side of the administration. President Kooi-Oppensteiner entered the room with a grim look on his face, some say it resembled an odd mix of disappointment and disgust. Others stated that it look more like a resigned relief, which in light of the consequences of this reveal seems not unlikely. Kooi-Oppensteiner started to speak and everybody anxiously awaited the result.

“Without any rambling, yapping or fault evasion, I’d like to announce that today, in about ten minutes, everybody in the world can visit a special site hosted by the presidential chancellery, where the whole, uncensored government folder regarding the Clenonberg investigation can be accessed. Against the explicit wishes of certain members of my own party and other senior intelligence officials, I’ve decided to also publish the files of our agency the SASa. When confronted with the truth, and the abhorrent ignorance of the past representatives of the conservative party, I see no other possibility than resignation, I can no longer – in good faith – represent the VVP. They’ve known for years. Now, please, be quiet, I will also explain what happened that faitful day of the coup. President Vanessa zum Clenonberg has been cowardly murdered by a maritime attack on the presidential jet by agents of the now dissolved Jelbic Empire. Apparently the Security Apparatus, corporate elements, some VVP members, the military and Theodora Lackmann conspired to consolidate power and ultimately join the Jelbic Empire. Now ladies and gentlemen, the details you will have to read yourself. This is my last press statement, I have agreed with the other parties of the coalition as well as the oppositional TKP to hold early elections soon.”

This short but concise speech of the resigned President Kooi-Oppensteiner has left the whole Triad in shock. Political Analysts have been struggling to explain the potential consequences this could have for the political landscape of the Triad but they’re certain that this is going to shake up the majorities in the Senate and which political party the next President is going to hail from. Many are disappointed since the reform coalition brought a fresh collaborative wind into the aged traditional political processes of the Republics but no matter what we’ve wished for, the days of hope are over for now.
