MARCUSBURG - Ever since the Secretary-General substituted a Congress with a simple majority vote in the Great Powers Forum, the Congressional Parliament (CP) has been the source of international scandal.
After a month of long deliberations with various third parties, the "Congressional Committee on the Termination of the Denisian Embargo" finally returned with their findings in late September. Although it was decided the embargo should remain lifted, the issue was not put to rest, as the committee carefully sidestepped the controversial issue of whether Congresses could be substituted. As a result, many in Lindsholm, from where the appeal was launched, called the committee misguided.
But the fallout didn't end there. In Marcusburg, a statement from the Yachtfew (Prime Chancellor's Office) demanded the resignation of the current Secretary-General, and suggested a complete overhaul of the current political structure of CP. Moreover, on October 2, the Marcusburg ambassador to CP put forth a motion in the General Assembly requesting that the issue of a more accountable and democratic Parliament be put to a vote in an upcoming Congress.
Under Marcurean pressure, the Secretary-General agreed to hold a Congress in coming weeks at the Ayecarumba in Jenneva, where in addition to the proposed Congressional reforms, delegates will also decide which section of New Weimar to partition. Furthermore, the actual auction of the nation will take place from the Ayecarumba (Jennevan parliament). However, previous plans by the Parliament to hold elections concerning CP's agenda, and the opening of the new International Development Agency (IDA) have been put on hold to make room for the current controversy.
