"Today a petition was put forth to the State Duma from a large number of citizens of the People's Republic, reportedly having over 40,000 signatures associated with it. The topic sent the Re-Unionists into a state of rage that almost collimated into a fist-fight on the Duma floor. Kremlin Security was able to maintain order however the question was asked by our reporters 'What did the petition say?'
According to our sources it was a petition to amend the Coalition's constitution to extend Premier Warner's term of office a further 5 Years. Re-Unionists who seek peaceful contact with the houses decried this as a potentially fatal mistake by the Duma if it's vote comes to pass in favor of the changes. The Katzists and McIntoshists are the primary opposition of the Re-Unionists goal of peaceful co-existence with the Sirian Houses and would oppose any bill towards a unsatisfying peace, particularly considering the Kingdom of Bretonia and the Federal Republic of Rheinland would likely commit genocide upon the citizens of the People's Republic first before any peace accord would be reached.
Thus far the petition is still under discussion, however sources claim that it is likely to pass due to overwhelming support for Premier Warner and the Katzist faction of the Duma.
