First Consul Resigns 09/28/2010

Former First Consul Alejandro Castillo

GENEVA- After a long summer of inactivity crippled with a stunning defection of two Liberal Party MPs, First Consul Alejandro Castillo announced last Friday that he was resigning the nation’s highest office, saying that he had “not been able to keep the proper activity level for this position, and haven’t been the leader that I had wanted to be, that this country needed.”

On the same day, Conservative Party Leader Eva Fernandez called for a vote of no confidence in the First Consul, which looked likely to pass unanimously before the vote was thrown out yesterday when His Imperial Majesty Emperor Edgard II accepted Castillo’s resignation. There is now a motion before the Imperial Parliament to have Mme. Fernandez become the next First Consul, which will most likely pass the Conservative-controlled legislature. Fernandez will become the first Conservative First Consul since the approval of the new constitution over a year ago.
