Attention Comrade Citizens of the Coalition. Special news announcement from the Duma
Transmission is being broadcasted live for this snippet. Former Prime Minister has returned to Coalition space and is delivering his speech to the current session of the State Duma Congress
Floor during the Emergency Session
" Fellow Comrades of our ever enduring Coalition. Something grave has happened during the past seven days. As you all well now by now, the former premier Selim has abandoned his post and has fled to Bretonia. And how do we know? His seat was found empty when our Commissars went to directly tell him their grievances after it was clear the entirety of the Coalition was not being listened to nor being addressed.
According to Petrov's information, he's enemies have stated that a few of us have 'coup'ed our former Premier. But when a seat is vacant at the helm of a ship, it means there is in need of a new captain. An empty seat cannot be couped, it would of required someone already in it. Therefore, I present myself in front of this Duma session, to take this position at the helm and to lead the legacies of our past Premiers and drive the Coalition into a new era.
Comrades of the Duma, hear me closely. As we speak war is on-going in our neighboring system of what we call Omega-49 but others are hearing a new name given by the occupants. Our first step has now been taken and there is no going back. All-out war has begun once again as it had once been done under Premier Ben Warner. Now while war rages, our comrades march on with their heads up high that we no longer lay dormant and that we will stand up against this behemoth. But, war is not the only thing that will change us Comrades.
For years the Premier's office has been the sole dictate of the entire direction, in all aspects of government. For years while you elected him, his power knew no boundaries - the Premier could step on any ministry's work and have no consequence less he threatened civil war or removed said minister through sheer power. Our Ministries were made with a purpose , and the purpose was so that the management could be divided among equals. Thus, the Premier will no longer speak for the Ministry of Plenty or the Ministry of Truth so long as it does not contradict our goals or stall in decision, and that the Ministry of Peace will have a restructuring to address the new times. This would be my first act.
In these new times, the Coalition needs to adapt to the circumstances it finds itself in. During the one-man dictatorship of Selim, our movement seemed Frozen, and now a Thawing out has begun. Under my leadership, the Coalition will restructure as needed to continue the on-going goal of our founding comrades, for a Sirius Wide Workers Revolution. In diplomacy , this will be our prime focus when negotiating with neighboring powers - no more submission to the oppressive Houses, Monarchies or Regimes of Sirius. 'The Struggle' will be our answer to these powers.
Long live our Workers Revolution! Long Live the Coalition!"
